Well said Adam. It’s always hypocrisy and has been since the MAGAites took over what was once a proud party with integrity. Now there’s none. Just pure fascist propaganda with no accountability. And whenever Dumpie accuses the Democrats of doing something illegal/immoral, rest assured it’s deflection as they’re already doing it. The fight doesn’t end with this election, it has to continue until there is sanity restored to our Democracy. Our family have voted early as we always do, and opening up Arizona’s primaries to ALL voters will be key here and in other states. If we can stop the partisanship, the center can bring that sanity back. We appreciate your willingness to fight and we stand with you!

"Trump loyalists feigned shock and clutched their pearls over Biden’s words." - the hypocrisy is astounding !!

Representative Kinzinger, I appreciate you! I cannot imagine what you and your family have gone through. Your love of our country and your dedication to the truth is amazing and inspiring. You are a REPRESENTATIVE OF GOOD. Here's to all those who want to channel their superpower of good and haven't voted yet. ✌

Republicans have long become the Party of Hypocrisy. Do not pass Go, do not collect $200; go directly to Hypocrisy Jail.

We know what he meant and who he was referring to, but of course they will change the narrative. Why isn't there more information coming out about Trump and his corrupt crew? Lev Parnas, Roger Stone Flynn (who no longer deserves the title of general)! Those that he pardoned and will be in the next administration. Where is Myles Tayler on the topic of trump telling him five years ago that Trump wanted to trade Puerto Rico for Greenland?

You worked so hard on that committee... I work so hard getting your message out. I won't give up... it's grass roots like us to inform one person at a time. I have changed a few but you work for the big guys now and I just think those people I mentioned need to brought back to the forefront!! Now!! I just recorded short videos going back three years ago. The direct connection between Trump and extremist groups. Roger Stone being the largest connective tissue.. I will share them on fb. I have a large following considering I was a spouse 27 years of military and have friends around the world but it has come with a cost. Like you said though. You are on the right side of history. That's what keeps me going.

Rachel Maddow recently produced a great new documentary called "From Moscow with Lev" that was aired this fall. He has "escaped Trumpism" and is actually actively working to keep Trump from being elected. Here's a link with more info: https://www.msnbc.com/lev

These Republican buffoons want us to believe that the Trump campaign rented Madison Square Gardens for the most important rally of the entire campaign, and they did not vet what the speakers nor indeed,the candidate were going to say….and a hate fest ensued. Now, because Joe Biden called the ardent Trumpists “garbage” they are bigly butt-hurt and want an apology. Until their candidate apologizes for the garbage that spews from his cake-hole and from that of his toadies…and which they eagerly lap up as though it were manna from heaven..they should remember that you are judged by the company that you keep.

I watched a clip of this comment by Biden. Neither the mainstream interpretation of it nor the White House spin of it are what I saw / heard. I saw / heard a tired man groping to deal with his fatigue and increasing stutter and neuro-divergence. I think if people look at the clip, which I found on YouTube, they will see what I saw. Harris did a good job of distancing herself from the claimed sentiment but what one of her surrogates needs to do is say what I've just said: In the immortal whisper of Nancy Reagan, "We're doing the best we can, dear." Namaste. Keep up the good work, sir.

Adam Kinzinger's avatar

agreed, wont be able to change that narrative, unf.

Corinne Corley's avatar

Maybe if a strong surrogate comes out and calls it for what it is. . . hmmmm. . . maybe a former Republican Congressmember . . . who supports Harris. . . of which two come to mind. ;-)

Absolutely agree Corinne! Thank you!

I don't care if he did call them trash. The most patient, tolerant person on the planet can only take so much. I could list the dozens of vile, hateful things said about Biden, Harris, both Barack & Michele Obama and many others over the past 10+ years but we would be here all day. I'm not worried about MAGA feelings or outrage at this point. I'm also called nasty names on social media by MAGA's every day even when I make a positive statement - it doesn’t matter what I say if I'm not praising & applauding Trump. I just laugh and block.

I would go much harsher than Biden - who has not only been vilified and persecuted, but has been denied any credit for the miraculous recovery we've had since he took office - when he called them "trash", that's almost a compliment. I would call tRump 'toxic waste', which has poisoned large swaths of ordinary people and turned them into vicious zombies 🧟‍♀️. His carcinogenic rhetoric and actions have been spread into nearly every branch of government and the courts. It will take years of chemo and radiation therapy to clean up their toxicity.

Biden has been a great antidote to much of the poison, and Kamala - with her joy, optimism, and brilliance - will be even better. I think we can let Joe have his slip of anger and frustration. I can imagine what he would say if he was honest about how he really feels about the toxic, hateful MAGAs.

Their hypocrisy is almost unbelievable, and yet they use it proudly.

It's time to take out the trash.

Oh my god … enough w/even responding to the press nitpicking Biden’s every retort to Trump hate … the garbage in the world isn’t Puerto Rico it’s those calling Puerto Rico garbage. Go ahead & say it. This isn’t 2016 calling a bunch of ignorant &misguided ppl blanket deplorables … everyone w/any sense of decency has had time to stop the hateful rhetoric. If they still applaud it, if they still support it, if they still engage in it … that’s garbage that needs to be contained.

Absolutely, Adam. Absolutely just a distraction.

Hypocracy is rooted in MAGA campaigning. I’ve long pondered why more hasn’t been said about the double standard exhibited when laws are broken and playground bullying is given a pass when MAGA performs as they do. Yet, when any unnecessary slip of tongue occurs by non MAGA it’s above the center fold. Unfortunately, I’ve become biased when I see a rude act by someone because I immediately conclude that person must be a MAGA. Current example: a Yankees fan wrestles a fly ball from a Dodgers mitt. I thought…I bet I know for whom he votes. Has civility died? Have laws become transactional and a choice? HARRIS/WALZ bring back a democracy for lawful, caring people. May election results provide evidence our country is filled with more sanity than tyrants.

Marty! That's exactly what I said when those fans physically fought for the ball!! Disgusting and I'm a Yankee fan!

You hit the nail on the head with this post Adam!!! The MAGA cult clan are the biggest hypocrites I’ve ever seen!!!!Someone says something about them and it’s terrible-really people!!!MAGAS are constantly attacking others and it’s just fine for them!!!!!

Thank you Adam

Meat for the cult. The OTHER thing is, media, including CNN are wasting WAY too much time on this, just adding fuel and NOT talking about the GREAT economic report today AND IF that orange nightmare wins, he will be crowing "SEE, see what your DADDY did for you?" Even typing that I almost threw up my latte.

At the same time, sorry, President Biden needs to just be quiet this week. He is doing a great job in the oval office and he needs to stay there. Kamala can handle it.

I'm 79, and I find MY biggest issue with my brain is names. I'll see a movie star from the 40s and 50s and damn their name escapes me. VERY frustrating. My point is, many of us lose a little as the normal part of aging. Some are very lucky and are sharp as a tack their entire lives. Some are very unfortunate as we know. Joe has always had brain to mouth issues and Kamala doesn't need it.

Now Donald? THAT is a whole other VERY dangerous story. And we are SO lucky , Steve Bannon is baaaaaaaack!!!!!!! He is supposed to go on trial in December and of course will be doing legal cartwheels. Even as Donnie can't pardon him this time, I can see Bannon skating out from under. Kamala MUST win. I just got a text this morning from some R PAC about voters cheating. Kamala MUST win!!!!

Adam , right on with your comments. Hypocrisy for sure and I’ll add gaslighting to their narrative. Trump’s supporters continually try to defend and explain his lies and rhetoric into some sort of believable answer. I have to say I’m over the nonsense!

HI2thDoc's avatar

The fact that you and your family (!) have been threatened because you stood up for the truth is just so awful and ridiculous. This is surely a direct consequence of trumpism. Steve Schmidt said that he had never been threatened or had boxes of excrement mailed to him until trump entered politics.

To say trump has damaged America is not strong enough. He has driven us to the brink of destruction. He must not win.
