(82,849 posts)Whenever I consider some dumbass Republican knucklehead and wonder how they got elected, I find that I can take a look at the map of their district and get a clue. Parts of Crenshaw's district look like they're drawn such that one block could be in his district, the next block is out of his district, then the next block is back in his district.

(11,730 posts)He is trying to thread the needle between his vocal support of Trump and the Insurrection and his understanding that it was illegal and wrong in every way.
When you commit way, it is a lot easier to communicate your side. Take Cheney and Kinzinger, who both have views that I find abhorrent in other areas, they however, understand that the insurrection is an affront to everything that the United States purports to stand for. They speak with clarity on the situation, without ever having to backtrack, say they were taken out of context, etc... Jordan is a trainwreck because part of him understands how absolutely repugnant his position on the situation is. I don't know if he has any personal shame, but he understands how it looks to other people. He also understands that he can get into serious trouble.

(2,471 posts)It was their politics and that of their leaders that led them to break the law.
The crimes they are accused of now are criminal, but if they get charged for trying to overturn a legal election that makes their crime political.
We should embrace the term and throw it back in the faces of the republican party.

(64,995 posts)Yes, they are political prisoners, because THEY let their personal politics impel them to commit crimes.
Political prisoners? Perhaps.
Criminals? Definitely!

(36,775 posts)GOP has changed 'Back the Blue' into 'Backstab the Blue'.
"Kill him with his own gun" was their rallying cry.

(1,306 posts)Released recently with Republican representatives telling a supposed supporter the truth instead of the TV lie.
Are these the same people who made the other, and will there be more? And, will they all be edited together into a TV ad?
That undercover video of Romney telling the truth sunk him in 2012, how about we use them to sink the entire party in 2022?

(11,730 posts)Sometimes to get people to be "honest" you have to play along.
Look at the guy who pranked Gaetz and Greene on the beach in California. He was very happy and upbeat, and Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum were all smiles until the troll started talking about "he's not a pedophile", then they booked it.
This may be the case here too. It would be great if it were. Sends a message to all the insurrection supporters that there is nowhere they are safe. They want to part of the insurrection, then they are going to have to walk the walk too. Johnson got shit for saying Biden won. Jordan will get shit for saying the insurrectionists who assaulted the police should be held accountable.

Jordan just kept changing the subject.
