GOP AR Gov Urges McCarthy To Condemn Boebert’s Attacks

‘And I’m ask that we meet together so civility in politics may resume.’

Pro tip to Boebert: It doesn’t work like that. Insulting the ethnicity of your co-workers and displaying your bigotry gets you shunned. When the Democrats retain the House nothing about your situation will have changed.

Asa Hutchinson was performing the ritual BS meant to assure us ‘the grown-ups are in charge and certainly don’t approve of the bad kidz’. This schtick cools the villagers’ nerves and placates the legacy media. The subtext is ‘the sane GOP will come to the rescue, governors like Asa, Hogan and Sununu and all will be well’.

Except that they won’t and can’t, and these tepid little performances of cover-up by them are fleeting and
irrelevant.

That I know of, only Hutchinson and Christie have said it on major news chans, but the latter wasn’t as explicit about it as Asa was.

And reflect the fact that governorship can’t be gerrymandered in the way state legistlatures are.

Note the threat by McCarthy to remove Democrats from committees should they take the House! I don’t doubt it for a minute.

Oh wait, nope.
Just another former, ex, no longer, or departing Republican speaking out now that he/she no longer faces the electorate.

Hutchinson has some guts here, but remember that he led the charge impeaching Clinton for getting a BJ in his office.

On the other hand, Clinton’s antics may well have given people a great excuse to later ignore Trump’s paying pornstars and all the rest. But, then again, we had Fox News and Russian interference/trolls, and home-grown trolls and opportunists to help people excuse having someone with absolutely no sense of morality be Prez.

He’s perfectly welcome to remove any Democrats who play footsie with violence against Republicans. It’s when he objects to Democrats rebuking Republicans who are playing footsie with violence against Democrats that he goes wrong.

Don’t you just love it when RepubliQans pretend they have a shred of morals. You can stop Asa - we know it’s just for show.

Fuck Asa Hutchinson. Watch the part of the interviews this weekend with him where he smirks the entire time he regurgitates the GQP Trump KKKult’s false talking point word salads about inflation. Great example of them just saying whatever and knowing it’s false and being smug and tickled by the fact that they’re up there on national TV saying it anyway, knowing it will be bieleved.

Let’s face it. The Trumpists - and the entire Republican Party is now Trumpist in action - have perfected this song-and-dance. How nice of Asa to go on CNN and play the foil, showing the world that “not everyone” goes for this kind of crass undermining of decency in governance.

Won’t make a lick of difference. It just provides cover as the QAnon brigade gathers steam.

For months, I’ve been watching Hutchinson starting to position himself for a 2024 presidential run. He would be well positioned to do so, picking up non-Trumpian and former Republicans. He also would have a stronger southern appeal than DeSantis. Money would be no problem; Walmart is an Arkansas company, and it’s money would flow to Hutchinson like the Mighty Mississippi to the Gulf.

And if you call now, we’ll double the chances of nothing happening…

As noted elsewhere, there is not a scintilla of evidence that Kevin McCarthy would or can provide the needed adult supervision as House Speaker. It will be an obstructionist free-for-all with investigations into everything from woke electrification of my pickup truck and who gets Kyle as their assistant to communist race theory and why exactly isn’t Trump emperor yet?
