Maybe should’ve added a “(?)” to the headline because what this gaupropagandaleiter is saying isn’t entirely clear. Or maybe it is clear but it’s so baffling that she’d actually say this shit and admit, even obliquely, that Republicans are treading a dangerous path. The Trump Regime themselves don’t seem to think so, and neither does Politico Playbook in their Tuesday morning jerkoff piece.
“We couldn’t script this any better. Democrats are again on the ’20’ side of an 80-20 issue… It’s the same thing that won Trump the election,” Politico quotes one “gleeful person close to the White House” as saying. They then write “In the eyes of the White House, Trump already had a clear mandate from voters for the mass deportation effort that was driving those ICE raids in LA. And aides believe the chaotic scenes that followed – masked protesters pelting police with rocks, setting fire to cars and waving Mexican flags on abandoned freeways – will only bolster public support for Trump’s hard-line approach. Indeed, every time a Dem speaks out against the president’s actions in LA, the White House is happier still. And guess who’s the ultimate foil? Enter California Gov Gavin Newsom…” Alright, enough Politico Playbook mushroom slobbering for one morning.
Then there was Axios on Monday with “Scoop: Cotton urges GOP senators to double down on fiery LA protests” complete with the “Why it matters: Republicans are convinced they have a winning issue” and the bullet points of “Americans have a choice between Republicans’ law and order vs the Democrats’ car-burning, illegal alien rioters,” that Tom Cotton’s staff wrote to other GOP Senators.
Yet here’s Frau Ingraham apprehensive over the situation’s potential to backfire on MAGA.
