Republican former Virginia Congressman Scott Taylor, who was caught cheating in his 2018 reelection bid before being defeated by Dem Elaine Luria, and then tried to become a lobbyist for Belarusian dictator Alexander Lukashenko’s regime, is now apparently a CNN contributor and a pretty whiny one at that. Taylor on Monday told anchor Abby Philip he’s “offended” by the fact that the New Yorker’s Jane Mayer used anonymous sources for her “hit piece” on rapey white nationalist Fox News host Pete Hegseth about his drunkenness, sexual indiscretions, and gross incompetence while helming two different astroturfed “veterans” organizations in the 2010s.
Hilariously at least one of these anonymous sources was still on Hegseth’s side. As flagged by Political Wire on Monday, the author of a 2015 email claiming that Hegseth had screamed “kill all Muslims” during one tour and then unzipped his pants and pissed on a sidewalk in front of other staffers at the Koch-backed Concerned Veterans of America, had told Mayer “If you print that, I will deny I wrote it.” When the writer was reminded that the email been sent from the same personal account he still uses, he said, “I don’t care. I’ll just say it never happened.” That is so fucking MAGA.
