Mitt Romney’s pseudonym, imho, is a play on the latin legal term “in pari delecto” which means the two are equally at fault (whether in criminal or civil terms).
This is a favorite trick of the republicans, to pretend the constituents of both political parties, or the actors attending an opposition/counter opposition rally, both caused whatever bad result occurs.
Quite simply, these days, with KKK and white nationalist gun toting rallies, this is a false statement. You will hear it nonetheless in different forms from the GOP, to shift blame.
I felt the need to write this as MSNBC was discussing the use of “Pierre” as an elitist french-name term, when in fact, it is not, imho. It is quite intentional.
