GOP And Media Use The Hillary Playbook To Go After Nancy Pelosi (Another Strawman/woman distraction)

[UCmeNdc]

Now, who do you suppose is pushing it? The GOP, of course. They LOVE to demonize her, and without Hillary, they need some other female figure to attack.

And there's the Third Way-ish Rep. Tim Ryan, who challenged her the last time but is now telling people he will run for president and win back Trump voters.

The media, of course, loves attacking her because it's so much easier than taking on Paul Ryan or Mitch McConnell. The stories write themselves, and fit so nicely with their classic "Dems in disarray" narrative. I don't hear a drumbeat saying Mitch (age 76) should retire. I wonder why.

Pelosi supporters recognize the play and are fighting back on Twitter.

1. Unfortunately, many Democrats are following along. (nt)

2. The GOP flat out SAID they were going to do this to Pelosi

And some run with it any fucking way.

3. And they'll do it to Elizabeth Warren

As predictable as the sun rising. A smart successful woman (especially an older woman) brings out the misogyny like nothing else.

4. I like the point about Paul Ryan and Mitch

Notice that although the left doesn’t like them they do not get air time belittling them and trying to destroy their character of which we know they have none.
We don’t fight like that, but, sometimes we just don’t fight. Stolen Supreme Court seat comes to mind.
