Today’s quote comes to us from CNN’s house conservative, Scott Jennings.
Here is his reaction to the Democrat Party hierarchy’s sudden demand that graham platner step away from his nomination to run for the U.S. Senate in Maine – only after the latest accuser Jenny Racicot, a progressive Democrat, made accusations against him:
“All of the things that have been stated, it was all out in the public and people like Ro Khanna, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Tim Walz, the Bulwark, Pod Save America, all these people came together to overlook it all, to explain it all, to rationalize it all.
“He was vetted. People knew all these things and a whole bunch of Democrats in Maine showed up and voted for him anyway. And a bunch of donors from around the country sent him money anyway…
…What changed? Why are you bailing on Graham Platner now?!
“You already signed off on Nazi tattoo, a self-described communist, somebody who’s had rape fantasies, somebody who has been on a social media platform known as a playground for predators.
“And on and on and on and on and on.
“And the difference between this accuser and the previous one is simply this, she’s a liberal. It’s okay, I guess, for Democrats that their candidate’s assault conservatives.
“But he broke into someone’s house. And apparently, according to her, raped her. And because her politics are correct, they can now believe it.”
Is Jennings correct? Is the only reason for this abrupt turnaround the fact that his latest accuser is, in essence “one of them”?
I don’t know for sure if that is the reason. But I do award Scott Jennings for making valid points about why platner should have been dumped long before Racicot’s accusation (points I have also made, it should be noted), which should cause people who view politics honestly/not from a purely partisan position, to seriously consider the possibility.
