Acosta Stumps GOP Politicians With Simple Question

By Red Painter — July 5, 2021

Jim Acosta attended a pathetic MAGA Rally held by The Former Guy and had a chance to speak with quite a few GOP politicians about why they still support TFG, if they believe the Big Lie (no surprise, they all think the election was stolen) and a bunch of other questions. The pathetic fealty and groveling they do in the hopes of taking the mantle and getting the MAGA base to support them is pathetic, even by political standards.

I wrote this tweet about the clip:

Excellent segment right now on CNN with @Acosta at a rally talking to GOP politicians about why they still support him when he continues to push the Big Lie.

The fealty they still give TFG is pathetic.

The responses were golden:

Fealty. a feudal tenant's or vassal's sworn loyalty to a lord. Nails it. Well said.

It's a Cult...

I think this nailed it:

He gave them permission to be their worst selves, and they will never abandon him as a result.

And in response to another clip:

I believe the Ma Cawthorn Homeschool Education System failed young Maddie. Some politicians play dumb … @CawthornforNC isn’t playing.

Never forget that Madison admires Hitler. Not joking.

I agree.

@CawthornforNC is the essence of cultism.

“I think the election was stolen, but have no basis.”

“There’s plenty of proof but I can’t point to any.”

“The fact that 60 cases were thrown out of court doesn’t mean my claims are without merit, it means that the system failed.”

A cult. That is the only way to describe it.
