Democrats are always yelling about sexism. Pay no attention to the sorry reality that Harvey Weinstein and pretty much every sad sack caught up in the #MeToo scandal was a Democrat, and a lot of them very connected Democrats.
They’re also all about hurling middle fingers and moving the general discourse downward. A look at this video of Rep. Rashida Tlaib is proof of that, assuming you can stand to take a gander at her explosive profanity.
So now we have Democrats pulling the same stunts they’re famous for, only this time projecting them out onto a Republican who threatens their rice bowl. They’re not just acting out the behavior they denounce, they are also falsely and dishonestly trying to pin the doings they denounced onto her.
Here’s the Washington Post’s account of the young but effective Republican woman now in their crosshairs, Elise Stephanik:
The New York lawmaker has emerged as one of Trump’s most reliable allies on the House Intelligence Committee, an outspoken critic of panel Chairman Adam B. Schiff (D-Calif.) and one of the GOP’s most effective messengers as it seeks to undermine the Democratic-led probe. Early in Friday’s hearing with former ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch, Stefanik sought to make a point by speaking up during a period of questioning reserved for Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) and his counsel under rules that passed the House on a party-line vote last month.
“The gentlewoman will suspend,” Schiff said. “You are not recognized.”
“What is the interruption for this time?” she shot back in an exchange calculated to underscore Republican objections to a process controlled by Democrats. “This is the fifth time you have interrupted members of Congress, duly elected members of Congress.”
Her performance Friday caught Trump’s attention: In remarks at the White House before the hearing ended, Trump lamented to reporters that “certain very talented people weren’t even allowed to ask questions,” a reference to Stefanik — though she actually asked numerous questions later in the hearing. Trump also retweeted a video clip posted to Stefanik’s account showing the exchange with Schiff.
Stefanik isn’t even a conservative, she’s actually a Republican moderate, but that doesn’t stop Democrats when the final target is Donald Trump.
But Stefanik, a young congresswoman from New York, is easier to take down than an impervious President Trump, who’s pretty much Lucifer to them. Stefanik, they calculate, is easier.
To stop Stefanik, they’re wheeling out some really disgusting things, showing everyone “who they are” as the Dems themselves might put it.
First, we have a phony Photoshop, cooked up in some Democrat basement by some jackass who wanted to make Stefanik look just like Rashida Tlaib.
