Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: I like Elizabeth Warren. Too Bad She's a Hypocrite. [View all]DrFunkenstein
(8,745 posts)Just last year, columnist Solomon Jones shined a light on Rendells own hypocrisy, wondering how Rendell could support safe-injection sites when he had such a strong record of incarcerating crack users back when he was district attorney of Philadelphia.
In 2010, after Obama appeared on The View, Rendell said that such appearances cheapened the office of the presidency. Thanks to Rendells ubiquitous appearances on a Philly-based NFL TV talk show, he was labeled a hypocrite for his remarks about Obama.
And Bob Brady, back when he was both a sitting congressman and the head of Phillys Democratic Party, said that Rendell was a hypocrite after Rendell blasted Brady for not doing enough to curb the power of Phillys ward leaders. He remarked that Rendell liked the power of the ward leaders when they were endorsing him for governor and mayor.
Not to mention the fact that Rendells candidate Biden has been blasted as a hypocrite on matters much more serious than anything Rendell could possibly throw at Warren. But whos keeping score?
