"After his theory was widely excoriated, Whelan apologized for his “appalling and inexcusable mistake of judgment.”

Earlier today on a similar thread, I wrote the below:

The truly surprising thing about this whole Whelan event is this ham-handed attempt to craft an alternative narrative.

These are supposed to be smart people with access to competent and strategic communicators.

This is like a bunch of drunken cigar smoking old time politicians who sit around in worn leather chairs at night in a softly lit room trying to out impress each other with their ‘brilliant’ ideas.

Oh shit, I just described the Republican Party leadership. True to form.

I guess they ignored the ‘competent’ part when selecting a communications team.

This is even more stunningly stupid late in the day.

Man I would love to say I am shocked . . . but alas it is all too damn predictable with this crowd of miscreants.

politico deserves a good bit of credit. they were on this one from the start, including a piece that rounded up all the DC rumors of a looming bombshell. their list even nailed the mistaken-identity contention. given what politico uncovered in the latest story, CRC was obviously planting this BS around town. i hope reporters realize they should never trust this sleazy firm ever again.

He really does look like an older Stephen Miller. Not a compliment to either of them.

Whelan apologized for his “appalling and inexcusable mistake of judgment.”

You I thought a “mistake in judgement” was when one believed something stupid from a stupid friend, or a friend of a stupid friend. Not instigating and promoting a conspiracy theory on Twitter.

It’s truly frightening to know that our republic is being held together mostly by the complete ineptitude of those that would tear it asunder.

Are fat old ugly Republican women going to start wearing “rapey” bandages now, kinda like the “Purple Heart” bandages after the attacks on Kerry?

OT. Another one bites the dust:

State Rep. Jim Knoblach, a longtime Republican lawmaker from St. Cloud, dropped his re-election bid on Friday after Minnesota Public Radio News approached him about allegations by his daughter that he inappropriately touched her.

Sounds like the perfect Trumpian character witness for Brett Kavanaugh, if you ask me!
