RNC Defends Mass Gathering | Talking Points Memo

Republican National Committee chair Ronna McDaniel on Sunday ripped Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden while insisting that the 300-something people gathering in Charlotte, North Carolina for the GOP’s convention this week are protected from COVID-19.

So protecting public health is elitist?

I wonder if the Cain family will opine on that.

Well, Trump has his sister and niece and almost everyone who’s ever worked for him; Romney has his niece. I wonder if they still speak to each other.

Sorry, but dumb is what dumb says. There is an invisible shield surrounding all Republicans because “they are the chosen ones”. Oh stop. The President and your Party had 3 years to actually do something. Instead, we’re dealing with 176,000 US citizens who have died from covid-19, with estimates of 105,000 due to the President’s and Republican controlled Senate’s decisions to do very little and simply let people die. No plan, no leadership, but plenty of corruption. Wow, and we should listen to such an individual who weekly needs to be given a dementia test?

”I think it’s really important to understand that the Democrats and Joe Biden just said we’re going to shut this country down again,” McDaniel said, referring to remarks by the Democratic presidential nominee in an interview with ABC News that will air Sunday night.

V.O: “previously on ‘The Donald Trump Show’.”

Guiding logic for the RNC:
When you got nothing… go as obnoxiously fraudlent and toxic as you can … be as vile as you can be … do it in a way that when people recognize you 40 years from now they will still see the stain of deceit that oozes out of your every pore.

So we’re going to have a war on science this week, I see. Most parents would love to send their kids back to school but it isn’t safe.
Nothing is normal. We spent all last week describing our reality. We will have to re-emphasize that to counter the nonsense coming from the GOP.

Got news for ya Ronna - your country IS going to have to shut down again at some point in order to get the pandemic under control. Just because you don’t want to acknowledge that doesn’t mean it won’t happen.

It will have to wait for Joe’s inauguration - and by then hopefully the death totals of 300,000 or more might convince some of you die hard idiots that there is no other reasonable plan of action.

The plan is to focus on the Rose Garden Melania took charge of restoring. Most of everything else about this country is in tatters.

One need look no further than Romney McDaniel for living proof the Guardians Of Pandemics is a diehard death cult.

Think you have to be from Michigan to feel fully the betrayal of that woman in dropping her name to placate Trump. Imagine the polar opposite of Trump in every way . … we don’t have to.

I really could give zero shits about what Ronna “looking more and more like Sarah sanders-Hick-bee every day” McDaniel has to say. That said, I am rooting for the virus on this one.

"because they’re going to the grocery store, as they’re going to hospitals,”

Going to the grocery store and going to the hospitals are exactly the same!
At both places you can get ice cream, for instance.
Not tone deaf at all.

It’s not at all elitist to sail around in your yacht or go to your vacation home to wait it out.

You forgot the quote marks around “restoring.”

I must admit, however, that her butchering of the Rose Garden does have a certain mausoleum feel to it, further fitting in to the Cult 45 Death Cult theme.
