The person behind the mic would be booed off the stage somewhere in the second clause. The RNC may once have had some affinity with truth, but that’s so far from true now that it’s hard to believe. And yet, the talking head is depicted as speaking truth.
He reminds one of a German officer that tried to depose Hitler. Of course, the dude helped put in him power in the first place — and kept him there for years, but kudos nonetheless.
The insurrection business needs to come to an end! It is consuming congress, when other important matters are at hand!!! The world saw,heard and followed it….
Notice how the “mainly peaceful protests” of January 6th are discussed ad absurdem in the media every day, yet the TREASONUS attempted coup to dislodge a duly elected President (the Russian Hoax) by the Democrats, the FBI and the media is NEVER EVEN MENTIONED any more!
I know that Goebbels said if you repeat a lie often enough it becomes the truth, but Mr. Ramirez has realized that in this day and age people can also rewatch the videos and hopefully the lies will harm the liars.
Ramirez is just joining McConnell in an attempt to keep the R’s and former R’s voting with the R party candidates in the house and Senate elections this year. It’s supposed to show a big tent effect to win elections.
Mitch McConnell Is ‘Done,’ Trump Allies Blast Senator After Jan. 6 Remarks
“We saw it happen. It was a violent insurrection for the purpose of trying to prevent the peaceful transfer of power after a legitimately certified election, from one administration to the next. That’s what it was,” McConnell asserted, describing the pro-Trump attack against the federal legislative branch of government.
McConnell said he also felt the RNC should not be “singling out members of our party who may have different views of the majority”—pushing back against the censure of Cheney and Kinzinger.
A number of Trump allies lined up to attack McConnell following the remarks.
“Mitch McConnell is done in the Republican Party. You need to realize it,” longtime Trump adviser Boris Epshteyn told right-wing strategist Steve Bannon during a Wednesday episode of his War Room podcast.
“Nobody wants to see Mitch McConnell around anymore. It’s over Mitch, it’s over,” said Epshteyn, who served as a senior adviser to Trump’s 2016 campaign and then as a White House assistant director of communications in early 2017.
“The sleazy left and the sleazy RINOs seem to have a lot in common, don’t they? Mitch McConnell condemning the Republican National Committee for censuring Cheney and Kinzinger while behind the scenes and closed doors, he threatens his own members if they don’t fall in line,” Mark Levin said on his show.
Bannon also suggested on a Wednesday episode of his podcast that McConnell is an “establishment” leader, saying that the GOP Senate leader mocks Trump and his movement. He asked guest Representative Madison Cawthorn what the GOP should do about members like McConnell.
“We do need to get rid of these establishment go-along to get-along Republicans,” Cawthorn responded. He argued that the “boat is sinking” and “it’s time to save the Republic.”
If the former guy runs again (God forbid), I hope our cartoonist will roundly denounce him, and for our nation’s sake endorse the Godless communist baby-eatin’ liberal Democrat running against him.
“Going Bonkers” would have been more appropriate than “Going Backwards!” on that winter agenda sign. Like the way Ramirez drew Ronna McDaniel. Like a fat sassy little hag, for which she is!
This production is unusual in two ways. It lacks Mr Ramirez’s artistic wizardry, and it’s actually apposite. Very apposite, amid reports that Ms Cheney (who remains an odious person, despite her one single Come to Jesus moment) is in big trouble in (sparsely-populated) Wyoming for “opposing Trump”. Never mind that her opposition is, as Mr Ramirez’s image implies, somehow connected withi “truth”.

Kudos to Monsieur Ramirez.

Party over country followers have been doing it for centuries. The Republicans are just following their political DNA.

Mike Pence and Mike Ramirez see an alternate path for the GOP. Now the GQP will label them RINO’s too.

It is understandable why Republican leaders are at odds with the RNC. It is time for a new committee.
