'Do you have no shame? Joe slams false equivalency in campaign criticism'

&t=820s

'Joe Scarborough debunks the false narrative from some critics that VP Harris won't give straight answers on her positions, and he calls out the false equivalencies around Trump's violent rhetoric.'

My words: Joe calls out names including the NYT and the WSJ specifically for their bullshit. Begins around 9.30 min. Honestly, The entire 23 minute video is worth watching.

70 years ago, an aspiring despot was stopped cold. Who will stop the orange dicktater?

In 1954, special counsel for the U.S. Army Joseph Welch took down Joe McCarthy.

Who is going to be the Joseph Welch to tell the orange shitler to STFU, because EVERYTHING HE ACCUSES OTHERS OF IS A CONFESSION.

Tone down the rhetoric? He started a fire and poured gasoline on it.

I DOUBLE-DOG DARE ANYONE IN THE GUTLESS MEDIA TO CALL OUT THE CRUEL AND RECKLESS FELON FOR WHAT HE IS.


And during these hearings, McCarthy met his match in Joseph Welch, a calm but assertive special counsel representing the Army. On June 9, 1954, Welch calmly gutted every one of McCarthy’s accusations, frustrating the senator to no end.

McCarthy called one highly respected and decorated general a “disgrace” to the uniform; and then accused one of Welch’s associates of belonging to a group that was the “legal arm of the Communist Party.”

Welch reached his breaking point and uttered the words that in essence ended McCarthy’s reign of terror.
Lawyer Welch utters the words that humiliate McCarthy, leading to his demise.“Have you no decency, sir!”

“Until this moment, Senator, I think I never really gauged your cruelty or your recklessness,” Welch said. “Have you no sense of decency, sir?”


Give me some Joseph Welch and Edward R. Murrow!



Smack him down and lock him up.
