Trump has said he likes uneducated people and this might be the proof.
The Republican Party has captured the minds of those who live in the rural counties of America. Those voters are mostly farmers and rural shopkeepers. They lack education and they are not well-informed. Most of what they know about politics is by word of mouth, otherwise known as gossip.
Using your 38% of “trump’s base”, the other 62% of said base is too afraid, corrupt and dishonest to make a public statement refuting the lies of the 38%.
Someone please explain to me how Republicans in Michigan elected Rep. Lisa McClain.
She was apparently so desperate to suck up to Donald Trump at his Michigan rally this past weekend that she falsely
boasted to the crowd of adoring Trump fans that the former President had “caught Osama bin Laden.”
CNN reports, "In reality,
bin Laden was killed on May 2, 2011, when President Barack Obama was in the White House and Trump
was hosting the season of “The Celebrity Apprentice” featuring
Gary Busey and Meat Loaf."
Dean Obeidallah writes, "But in reality, why would facts matter to McClain – a first-term member of Congress who
voted to reject the 2020 election results after the January 6 attack – when speaking at a Trump rally? Neither she nor Trump was there to educate voters but rather to spew pro-Trump propaganda designed to bolster the former President at the expense of our democratic republic.
"After all, the star attraction of Saturday’s rally was Trump, who peddled even more lies about the 2020 election,
claiming, “We did win. We did win.” No, Trump lost. But McClain clearly was not troubled by Trump’s very lies that gave us the January 6 insurrecton."
Then McClain made this startling comment. “Under President Trump, if my memory serves me correctly, I don’t believe we had any wars. We got a war in Ukraine right now.”
Republicans elected this woman to Congress?! Well, yes, they did.
Memory, such as it is, did not serve the congresswoman well. Of course, Americans fought in wars during the Trump administration. US ground troops fought under Trump in Afghanistan, Syria and Iraq, though Trump did reduce the US military presence in all three countries. A Navy SEAL was killed in a 2017
raid against al Qaeda during Yemen’s civil war. The US conducted Trump-era
airstrikes on ISIS in Libya amid
the civil war there. In Somalia, the US
conducted airstrikes and
was involved in raids against
Al-Shabaab, an al Qaeda affiliate.
At one point, McClain criticized Biden by citing the war in Ukraine. US troops are not involved in Ukraine.
Republicans like McClain and the people who voted for her are expected to win control of Congress in the November mid-terms.
Really!
