This is day three of the most active period of my representative’s three years in Washington D.C. He’s generally content to show up at stuff, stand as close to IMPOTUS as possible, toss his name on to anodyne bills, claim credit for whatever, speak at closed-door corporate events and rake in the PAC dough. He’s convinced he’s owed a third term because: MAGA. Heck, he’s even got hundreds of thousands of bucks left from his last campaign going into this one. Something has him riled up though, because he’s tweeting crazy, sexist, racist stuff once a day, getting overwhelmingly dragged for it, and then going out the next day and just making it worse. I have floated this again and again on Twitter, but I’m pretty sure that the 20 and 30 something Comms folks who work at all of these right-wing offices hate their principals. It’s the only explanation for half of what goes onto official stationery and social media feeds.
Anyway, the first crazy tweet took aim at Rep. Pramila Jayapal, who represents Seattle, Wa and expressed views of the national defense “briefing” that were similar to those of Sens. Mike Lee and Rand Paul, and Congs. Nancy Pelosi and Eric Swallwell, just to name a few white people.
He was rightfully dragged for this. So he responded by doubling down the following day against a different colleague of color.
“Eliminated” is such a nice word to describe an extra-judicial assassination.
Incensed when his, gasp, female opponent had the audacity to question these tweets, he pulled what he apparently thought was a stealth move, switched to his campaign account, and posted this
Couple of things. He votes with IMPOTUS 98% of the time according to 538, so “when he’s right” is a joke. And suggesting that his opponent, Donna Deegan, played the race card is absolutely hilarious.
