The double standard and the unmentioned elephant in the room

[spooky3]

Kyle Clark is a Denver anchor who was just interviewed by Rachel Maddow, because he delivered a short editorial on how we call out a public official who makes "one vile statement", but where people like Lauren Boebert make them routinely, we do not. Rachel thought he made a great point.

But no one mentioned (unless it was said while I was typing and I didn't listen carefully enough) that the people making these statements routinely are invariably REPUBLICANS. I can't think of any Democrat who has done so recently or over the time that I have paid attention to politics.

1. Vile statements are a repug specialty.

2. Republicans Are Simply Ugly Through And Through

Use that in your campaigns folks.

It's true.

3. That was a good segment on Rachel.

Excellent points were made. I hope someone posts it here.

4. The GQP wants to bait Dem into vile statements, which they then point at as proof

that Librulz are worse, or at least just as bad.

Sometimes Dems take the bait (Ilhan Omar most recently), and the RW Media don't even need a lot to work with: "Deplorables" will work.

5. It's part of the "own the libs" brand.

And why do Republicans think "lets go Brandon" is funny? It isn't funny or clever, it's just spite.

6. And the half-assed RW media purposely doesn't say it. nt
