Title: What The Republicans Need To Hear
Post by T And T Garage on 11/04/19 at 18:19:59

Former Rep. David Jolly (R-FL) was interviewed by MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace on “Deadline: White House.”

“What has happened to the Republican Party?” Wallace asked.

“These are the moments where my anger is somewhat palpable because you’ve just got to be honest,” Jolly said. “These are — in today’s Republican Party — spineless politicians rotten to the core, without virtue, without any level of human integrity, devoid of self-respect, self-reflection, without courage, and without the moral compass to recognize their own malevolence.

“And one day maybe they will have the recognition of how they failed the country and themselves in this moment, but that would be giving them credit that somewhere down deep they have the goodness to recognize how to reconcile their own failings with what is right and just in American politics and frankly what is right and wrong in the eyes of adults and children alike,” he continued.

Jolly said. “I agree they inevitably will make the case this is not impeachable. The problem is it requires every single Republican to align with Donald Trump and say that only Donald Trump speaks the truth, that Lieutenant Colonel [Alexander] Vindman — a man of honor and Purple Heart recipient — does not speak the truth. Ambassador [Michael] McKinley — somebody who’s referred to as the Dean of the foreign service corps — does not speak the truth. Ambassador [Marie] Yovanovitch — somebody who dedicated her life to promoting freedom and U.S. ideals on the world stage does not speak the truth. Only Donald Trump does.”

“And there is no greater example of selling your soul to a charlatan than what Republicans are doing right now in the House and the Senate,” he continued. “And their legacies are on the line just as much as Donald Trump’s.”

“We know the character of Donald Trump,” he noted. “We know the failings of Donald Trump, what we’re watching play out in this impeachment proceeding is the failings of a Republican Party and every single member that goes along with this.”

“Amen,” Wallace replied.

They speak truth to power when they're out of power...
While they're in,... they speak fear to power...

Former Rep.......

He's looking for speaking gigs, jobs and invites to parties. He gets to speak on MSNBC now...he's getting airtime! Yippie... He was going nowhere as a Republican and as soon as the Dems are done using him, he'll go back to being a lawyer.

I would expect no other response from a trump supporter.

Thankfully, those ranks are in the minority.

As usual, Mark focuses on identity rather than substance- the reflex of a hallow demagogue. The interview is demonstrative of the self-inflicted wound rending the Republican Party; to dismiss it is foolish.

So you guys expect me to believe if the tables were turned, you'd be like "well, I guess we've got to take everything he says seriously cause he used to be one of us....."

Get serious. Ronald Reagan was a Democrat who woke up and switched parties. Listen to him did ya'?

More excuses, focused on motive rather than substance. Yet again, you'll speak to anything but the topic, Mark.
