Plouffe: Republicans Speaking to Their 'Sick, Perverted One-Third of the Country' Injected by Fox News, Breitbart
[BREITBART] Barack Obama
teachable moment...
’s 2008 presidential campaign manager David Plouffe said Wednesday on MSNBC’s "The ReidOut" that Republican politicians were "speaking to their sick, perverted one-third of the country," which he claimed got "injected by Fox News and Sinclair and Breitbart."

said, "Ron DeSantis — he may be a sociopath. We don’t know what his pathology is, but he’s not stupid. I think that he understands that if he is going to inflict death on schoolchildren, he’s going to have to make it real hard for their parents to vote, right?"

Plouffe said, "So I think that there’s a third of the people out here in Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, who voted for the recall. There’s a third of the people who say it should be a personal choice. Yes, the Republicans are making it harder to vote so that third has more power in general elections. But let’s make no mistake, that third or 30%, that hardcore MAGA base, they’re going to drive Republican politics."

He added, "I think these governors, legislative leaders who have stood in the way of vaccinations, who belittled COVID, who don’t want masks in school — here’s the thing, we’re basically two-thirds of the country in support of mask mandates in schools. So again, they’re speaking to their sick, perverted one-third of the country, you know that gets injected by Fox News and Sinclair and Breitbart, all the stuff. Listen, I believe today, Joy, the only country that has a worse COVID outbreak than the United States is Mongolia. So if you can’t make something of that politically as tragic as that is, maybe you don’t deserve to be in politics. I think one thing, Newsom made this campaign about COVID."

#2 the only country that has a worse COVID outbreak than the United States is Mongolia.

According to the Worldometer, Peru leads deaths/million pop at around 6,000. The US is #22 with 2,000 and Mongolia is #118 with 324.

#3 The Democrasheviks have found their Nikolay Yezhov. May the little troll meet the same ending.

#4 Ron DeSantis — he may be a sociopath.

Classic Democrat projection right there.

#5 If Joy told me my garbage can was stinky I'd stop to appreciate the aroma.

#6 "sick, perverted one-third of the country"

Don't forget heavily armed and homicidal.

#7 I like to think "heavily armed and practical," myself.

#9 The republic has sort of let me down of late. I think the defense will be somewhat more granular.

#11 It is unwise to think of the Left as unarmed.

Keep in mind, they are in control of the armed forces.

#12 ^ the brass, sure. And the service academy grads.

But not the rank and file, the reserves or the NCOs.

I'd rather be with the latter - especially after watching the former group's performance over the past two decades.

#13 Call me stoopid names long enough and I will surely come to see your way of thinking.

That's in Dale Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence People, isn't it?

#14 Plouffe doesn't like the Deplorables? The feeling is mutual. I wouldn't be surprised if the 1/3 of the country he speaks of has grown considerably since he was cooking elections.
