In the interests of civil discourse, I will pass over the obvious crack about his name sounding like one of the steps of washing a hybrid car.
Some of what has been written about his law firm working to help its clients obtain stimulus funds or point out how the health care law can benefit its clients. Well, no frakking shit, that's what law firms are supposed to do.
What bothers me more, though, is that the Wisconsin GOP, of which Mr. Priebus was the chairman, engaged in "voter caging". Vote caging is a polite way of saying "voter suppression", a strategy to prevent people from voting, to deny them their constitutionally-granted right to vote.
Voter caging differs, only in degree, from the days when Southern nightriders, the White Citizens' Councils and sheet-wearing Klansmen used intimidation and violence to keep Black people from going to the polls. Voter caging is age-old racism in a three-piece suit.
For that reason, Mr. Priebus bears watching as the head of a political party that has, as a working strategy, the denial of the right to vote to American citizens.

If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.

COMMENT MODERATION IS IN EFFECT UFN. This means that if you are an insulting dick, nobody will ever see it.
Not my original observation, but remove the vowels from his name and you end up with: RNC PR BS.

I can't spell his name other than cut and paste, and I'm too lazy to cut and paste, so I'm just going to call him Rancid Prybar (thanks, Gordo!). But anyhow, Rancid Prybar's party can hang onto power in the "majority-minority" future only by doing what the white racists of the Old Confederacy did, and you correctly point that out. But more importantly, this also accentuates the attitude of the Republican Party about democracy: They don't like it. Oh, they might talk a good game, but their notion of democracy is sorta like Josef Stalin's -- if you don't vote for their candidate, you're not qualified to vote, and your vote shouldn't count. And Josef Stalin was from Georgia so clearly would be an idol for Republicans to emulate. Just sayin' ;). (Yes, I know, the wrong Georgia, but Republicans are geographically ignorant, so I doubt any of them know the difference ;).
