A top former director at the Republican National Committee who helped bring about the GOP’s “Fire Pelosi” campaign against House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) is expressing regret in wake of the brutal assault on Pelosi’s husband, Paul Pelosi.
Just another Marxist RINO. Probably a pedo too. Rona Romney McDaniel needs to write a letter exposing this traitor.
The only answer is a complete dismantling of everything “American”.
I’m going to give the guy props. Even amongst the never-Trumpers and the so called “mainstream” Republicans, one rarely hears anyone accepting responsibility for the current state of politics in the US.
From the Article:
[“A top former director at the Republican National Committee who helped bring about the GOP’s ‘Fire Pelosi’ campaign against House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) is expressing regret in wake of the brutal assault on Pelosi’s husband, Paul Pelosi.”]
The most pivotal word in this passage is the third one
Well, Lee Atwater also came to Jesus, but brain cancer still claimed him at age 40. Today’s abusive politics started with him.
Funny how his regret doesn’t make me feel even a tiny bit better - and I doubt it is doing much for Paul Pelosi either.
You can’t aim the locomotive toward the cliff and then wring your hands when the train follows it over.
Republican congress in 2023: “Wanna Bet?”
Yeah, somehow he couldn’t keep himself from “both-sides-ing” it in the article.
I’m glad he sees the appalling nature of what he started, and that he’s willing to speak publicly about it.
I’m just having a hard time being super-generous about it, and the both-sides-ing strikes a nerve.
Before giving Mr. Heye lots of praise and admiration, read the op-ed to see how he “both-sides” the issue, by referencing the Bernie Sander supporter who shot Steve Scalise at the Congressional baseball practice and saying there was “toxic rhetoric” that influenced that shooter - without providing any examples of what that non-GOP/non-right-wing rhetoric was.
Hint: it didn’t exist. It’s not the same on "both sides’.
He didn’t accept the responsibility. After admitting “Republicans started it” he both-sides the issue instead of accepting personal responsibility for easily predictable long term consequences of his own actions (alongside other Republicans).
It’s a small messaging salve for the GOP. He’s not active…and, for the most part, the GOP “good guys” are not officeholders.
Kinzinger & Cheney offer verification
Nobody’s been killed yet? Really?
The TPM article didn’t mention the both-sidering. Ah well. Trust no trusted source, etc.
If you read his op ed, you’ll see he blames Dems too in detail.
Like I said, Trust no Trusted Source. TPM reported on the op ed without mentioning the both-siderism. I don’t have time to read his op ed and I foolishly relied on TPM’s article.
Let the death-threats from MAGA-folk commence.
A day late and a dollar short.
The morality, integrity and value of a lower level, former GOP strategist making tepid condemning remarks achieves what?
