Augh. What is CNN's problem? Can they not find anyone more reasonable and sensible to represent a conservative viewpoint than Kayleigh McEnany? I'd have added qualified to that list, but she's actually qualified, at least on paper and by experience. It's just that she's reactionary, rhetorically incapable, and doesn't hear anything anyone else says. This is not sticking to talking points, this is actively refusing to hear anyone else's arguments.
She does the same thing that the one example I mentioned from that article about Trump supporters did. You know, the one that said something like "immigrants don't always ...", which absolutely means you are saying that immigrants do do whatever, but you know a couple good ones or some such.
Whoever one of the journalist types was who was on countered her one talking point by giving statistics on rates of felony crime among legal immigrants, and did she support legal immigration? Of course she supports legal immigration, but the poor father whose daughter was murdered, etc. She refused to discuss the stats on felony crime among illegal immigrants as fact, she kept trying to frame it as an issue of safety, as if it was the illegality of the immigrants that was critical to whether or not we were all at risk of being murdered in our beds. And, of course, would never say the actual words while saying it every other possible way, but we all know what kind of depraved violent terrors illegal immigrants are.
Anderson Cooper is just not able to deal with this, and she has got to go.
Thank goodness for Rachel Maddow on MSNBC. Her quietly snarky presentation was great. Specifically, of the GOP in Montana sending out a letter that effectively said they'd rather spend more money on a special election to replace Ryan Zinke than let people vote by mail, which is less costly and was proposed by Republicans and election officials across the state. Because if they vote by mail more people might vote and that might give Democrats an advantage. Like, they straight up said we'd rather spend more money to have fewer people vote so we have a better chance of winning.
It's not even clear that that is necessarily true, but assuming it is, that's not a democracy, that's not even a republic. That's a petty little group of dictators who want to disenfranchise United States citizens to keep themselves in power. Boy, are they real Americans, or what? (That's sarcasm, in case it isn't clear.)
