House GOP reeling after a top recruit blasts Trump on tape

[MarathonMike]

Something is rotten in Sandusky.

House Republicans are scrambling to fix a potential nightmare that's unfolding in a must-win race in northwestern Ohio.

The GOP is eager to block J.R. Majewski from winning its nomination to challenge veteran Democratic Rep. Marcy Kaptur. Majewski lost his previous bid for Congress last year, after a news report on his military records indicated he lied about combat duty in Afghanistan.

Republicans turned to former state legislator Craig Riedel to beat Majewski in this cycle's primary. But last week, an audio tape surfaced of Riedel calling Donald Trump "arrogant" and vowing not to endorse the former president. Now the primary looks poised to become a referendum on which is worse in today's GOP: criticizing Trump, or allegedly lying about one’s military valor.

In today's GOP, I think we can all figure out how that decision will turn out.

Go ahead and vote for the demise of America, we'll try to save it by voting Republican whether it's Trump on not.

Rather it be the one not lying about service, but even that is iffy. So many lies now dont know who to believe.

Thank you for your "whataboutism," Binar. You're making your tribe proud.

He's going to post that in every thread. Because he's NOT obsessed with males Gay sex.

No, but a lot of Cult 45 will undoubtedly find that kind of blasphemy worse than someone embellishing his military service.

Exactly. Tom Cotton got reelected even after getting caught lying about his military service.

You do not, under any circumstances, criticize the Savior. All other transgressions can weighed on their respective actions, but you do not, will not, and cannot, commit blasphemy.

If you do this in the Republican Party, you are finished.

Criticizing Donald Trump is Republican suicide.

Posting conspiracy theories about the GOP?

And then it turned out that Cotton was one of those 'Stolen Valor' creeps, taking credit for imaginary Military honors.

So you even read your own links?

This is a 5 year old story about Tom Cotton pointing out the fact that Blumenthal lied about his military service. He says that Blumenthal has no moral highground to question Judge Kavanaugh's credibility when he lied about being in Vietnam.

Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) ripped into Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) on Thursday for lying about his military service and then questioning Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s credibility.


“@SenBlumenthal lied for years about serving in Vietnam, which is all you need to know about his courage & honesty,” Cotton, who is not on the Senate Judiciary Committee, tweeted during the questioning. “Maybe he should reconsider before questioning Judge Kavanaugh’s credibility.”


{mosads}Blumenthal has said he served in Vietnam, when he in fact sought at least five military deferments and eventually landed a spot in the Marine Reserve, where he was essentially guaranteed not to serve in the conflict itself, The New York Times reports.


Blumenthal went after Kavanaugh’s credibility in the Senate Judiciary Committee hearings Thursday of Christine Blasey Ford’s allegations that Kavanaugh sexually assault her in 1982.


The senator asked Kavanaugh if he was familiar with “Falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus” which is a legal principle that dictates jurors can rule a witness to be false in everything if he says one thing that is not true.

This is the sickness of the rightwing. Anyone, whether they are corrupt, a habitual liar, a hypocrite, a molester, a groomer, a rapist - anyone is better than a Democrat, because a Democrat may want a billionaire to pay more in taxes - or pay any taxes.
