[Red State] Yesterday, I went against my general policy and called someone an idiot. On rare occasion, something or someone convinces me that policy is made to be broken. Yesterday was Jim Acosta. Today, I’m biting my tongue; I give you "pop music critic" Chris Richards, courtesy of The Washington Post’s "Perspective" page.I don’t mean any personal disrespect to Chris, but I’m compelled to make order of the mess.
On Thursday, the Post published Chris’s coverage of the President’s intention to posthumously award Elvis Presley the Medal of Freedom today. According to Chris, "Yes, Trump is sending a message here."
Oh, boy. Here we go.
The first robust paragraph:
"Yes, Presley is among the most pivotal and controversial musicians of the previous century, so yes, this is another needling MAGA maneuver ‐ a little nod to the good old days, back when black visionaries could invent rock-and-roll, but only a white man could become the king."
Another needling MAGA maneuver!
