Breaking news: Republican voters don’t want to sleep in the bed they’ve made.
While the politician can go screw himself, the effect of these crazy conspiracy theories is felt far and wide by regular people. It’s not just Republicans that are affected by this.
We should all keep that in mind.
Hopefully this time people will learn that baseball bats are the only solution for neighbors who spout Republican lies since their own personal safety is at stake.
Look, I’m all for accountability. But right now, with respect to Helene and recovery/rescue efforts, is not the time. It’s a Good Thing (TM) that Republicans come out and denounce these falsehoods, because hopefully their base will listen. It’s important that in this, among other things, we learn to work together as a country.
lol don't you know that once you go against the established hive-mind republican narrative, you're officially a RINO
this guy will be voted out immediately
other misguided quotes:
the entire republican ideology is about NOT working together, but blaming problems on people they don't like and punishing them for it. this has been going on for years and years. we have republicans in the US congress saying democrats control the weather and intentionally wrecked WNC because it would hurt the republican vote
there IS NO "working together" with these people, i hate to tell you
The majority Republican NC congress is the antithesis of the idea of working together for the public good.
indeed. the NC house and senate are both full-blown republican, and they can't even agree with each other on a state budget
absolutely fucking useless
my wife and I visited my parents yesterday.
The base isn't listening.
Yeah.......it's good that they denounce these falsehoods...... Once it affects them!
It's convenient isn't it? Spread falsehoods about Haitians, or just saying nothing, but when those falsehoods start affecting them, suddenly it's time for restraint.
I'm sorry but Republicans have, at best, enabled the alt right monster. Biden is helping them. If he wants people to stop spreading falsehoods, he should have started with things that didn't affect him.
But then again if he did that, he'd be a Democrat.
So does that mean it’s finally the time to talk about gun control? What about the failed violent insurrection at the Capitol?
Is it at least the right time to point out that Republicans want to dismantle the weather monitoring system?
