Mike Lindell, the noted election denier and Donald Trump ally known as the “MyPillow Guy,” announced [in November] that he will run for chair of the Republican National Committee.
“With all my due diligence and in prayer, I am 100% running for RNC chairman against Ronna McDaniel,” Lindell told former Trump White House strategist Steve Bannon on his “War Room” podcast.
Lindell, who is under federal investigation for election tampering and had his phone seized by the FBI in September, claimed he has been encouraged to seek the position by people across the country.
I don't know if he has a chance. but the current RNC Chairwoman is a Trumper and those who want to replace her are even more Trumpy. Which makes no sense, as most of the hard-core Trumpist candidates running in contested elections were beaten. In an off-year election, the Democrats held onto the Senate and even flipped one seat.
The Republicans are acting like a gambler who is behind and who keeps placing larger and riskier bets, trying to catch up.
That's bad for the country. We need two, viable, national parties. The GOP is, whether by design or default, is working hard to become political arm of the neo-Nazis and Confederate mouth-breathers. But since the core base of the GOP in much of the country is made up of MAGA wannabee terrorists (egged on by Canadian incels), things are not going to change anytime soon.
And now Captain Pillow Guy is claiming that DeSantis' election was fraudulent.
ReplyDeleteA pox on all their houses.
Remember when GOP leadership had substance and principles (even if you didn't agree with them, you respected them...and they, you)? If you can, you came of age in the late 60s, early 70's; it's been downhill since then, first with Nixon and his Southern strategy, then ever darker and deeper, as the politics and religion of the South metastasized to the nation at larger...and the purported Party Of Lincoln tried tell America that whatever they did, the Dems must be worse, that any criticism of the Right was witch hunting.
ReplyDeleteNow we have the apotheosis of the Right in George Santos: all lies, all fabrication, criminal background, all flim-flam buffed up in an empty suit.
“Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last? Have you left no sense of decency?”
Nope.
Lindell is a former coke addict. Got that from Imus back in the day when he was with Fox. The Iman had lost his fastball, so he let things slip from time to time.
