Looks like someone found out they can be sued rude, because I cannot imagine any other reason that a Republican official would ever apologize.
Well as long as we had in hand why let it go to waste.
And whoever is a constituent of Stivers should really question is morality.
âThat probably deserves some examination,â
Oh man, that is some withering criticism right there. Wow, let me catch my frigginâ breath.
We should add morally and ethically challenged to ever reference to the Congressional Leadership Fund. They are now the MECCLF.
There will never be any serious criticism of the CLF because what they do is buy ads from the various media outlets both print and electronic. No network or newspaper wants to bite the hand that feeds them.
Misleading headlines and stories like this are why I wonât become a prime member. I read this to the end as this affects my district and this is hardly a rebuke. It was a mild acknowledgment if anything.
There used to be better quality on TPM. Donât resort to clickbait tactics.
Criminals and demons, all of them.
The current GOP should be taken down with the RICO statutes.
Scroll down for the ad Itâs disgusting and of course a lie
âdidnât do anything wrongâ is false. When they received a document that knew was not to be in their possession they were morally obligated to return it to its proper place. If I find my neighbors bank statement blowing around my back yard Iâve done illegal looking at it. But I was wrong. Decency requires me to return it unread. But the real issue is the people that did this are trying to obtain positions that will put them in power over us all. What they will do to get elected will not stop after being sworn in. Theyâll do it in office too. Lie to get elected. Lie when in office. Cheat to get elected. Cheat once in office.
Good for him. It was petty ass BS and possibly illegal. To even PRETEND âthe ends justify the meansâ shows that Super-PAC is a corrupt organization and should have the âlicenseâ pulled. Honest to God.
âThat probably deserves some examination,â he said
Yeah. By the FBI.
Considering that you wonât find this news covered nationally anywhere else, I would suggest you reconsider your views. This was hardly a stinging rebuke, but at least it was an admission of reality which is, in and of itself, noteworthy. TPM is one of the few sources of news that will surface this stuff. Further, they will actually follow a story in a coherent and thoughtful way when it is warranted. Maybe you think this is âclickbaitâ, but itâs hard to be all things to all people. I support TPM because itâs far better than anything else out there, IMO. Sadly, we have to support factual reporting with private funds, but that is the world we live in.
We got caught, so we are XXXX. But, OK, anything that will help a REPUG is still good; illegal, poor taste, hogwash, does not matter. OTOH if a democrat did the same then we must have 12 years of hearings that results in a hanging.
YepâŚ
Uttering a hearty tsk tsk, Steve Stivers leapt into the fray.
The headline was misleading.
i agree with everybody else. this isnât criticism. itâs a flaccid, back-handed way of doubling down.
What other site rewrites itâs headline in response to readersâ comments?
ETA Well, at least on the home page.
Steve Stivers
Use of stolen information for campaign probably deserves some investigation âŚ
I have scheduled the investigation to take place Nov 7
Stivers was an asshole before he became a Rep. He is not going to do anything.
