Pegging the Freedom Caucus as QAnon (or something else) only goes to show your tendency to peg them as you like, as opposed to what they are saying they are.
When Kevin McCarthy says things like:
* “It will be hard not to [hit Pelosi with her gavel”,
* threatens funding of future campaign of GOP candidates,
* promised “unlimited war” for vote,
* prematurely move into SOTH office,
* while sporting a foreign color handkerchief on his coat breast pocket
* and vote with DNC 47% of the times (Pelosi only side with GOP 7%)
* having egged various international organizations to announce him as “elected SOTH”, and
* “I earned it”,
what we have here is a terribly-constructed PR optic of an entitled anti-American globalist with little care for the 20 much needed GOP votes that is crucial for a suitable GOP mandate over next two years.
- czzr 4y ago“foreign color”?
- ganoushoreilly 4y agoI believe this is in reference to wearing the Ukraine enamel pin and flag colored handkerchief instead of the traditional US Flag Enamel Pin while in the house.
- Tomte 4y agoAmerican politicians (all parties) wearing those flags on their lapels still looks weird and sinister to me.
- klyrs 4y agoGrowing up, my neighborhood was controlled by Bloods and an aligned minority of Folks. Wearing the wrong color is serious shit
- egberts1 4y agoYeah, for many Americans, it can be rather serious.
- klyrs 4y agoPegging McCarthy as anti-American only goes to show your tendency to peg him as you like, as opposed to what he says he is.
- egberts1 4y agoHe didnt say he was, he just flaunt it, color-wise.
- defrost 4y agoTo be clear, you're saying that for a US-citizen to show support for any non USofA country is to be un-Central-North-American ?
- klyrs 4y agoRight. So what you and I are doing is making judgements based on people's actions, and using those judgements to describe those people. Only, you're trying to frame resisting Russia's expansionist war as anti-American. Which is pretty sus if you ask me.
- egberts1 4y agoNo judgement here, just posting on all the things that he has already said and my opinion on what is probably a poor PR image on him.
- cafard 4y agoAnd I bet he wears a non-American color tie now and then. If he's still around on March 17, have a look.
- HDThoreaun 4y agoMcCarthy fucking up doesn’t mean the freedom caucus are no longer qanoners. Both are true
