FOTP News in Review for . . . Sunday, November 12th, 2023

Ronna ROMNEY McDaniel, chairwoman of the Republican National Committee, stopped by Meet the Press on Sunday to remind people, if such reminders were necessary, that today’s GOP is party of cowardice, collaboration, and conspiracy.

But enough about the Republican mainstream.

Right below its dermis, more to the point, are those in the party who believe Democrats are actually killing Republicans, think 10,000 dead Palestinians is not enough, or want their porn usage checked by their unofficially adopted children.

It’s not even your crazy uncle’s GOP anymore.

Oddly, and perhaps parenthetically, the host of MTP Kristen Welker did not ask the RNC chair why her uncle, Senator Mitt Romney (R-Utah), whose name Trump asked her to drop (she did), chose not to seek reelection in a party whose members are, well, let him tell you.

“Look . . . “(Rep.) Marjorie Taylor Greene and (Rep.) Paul Gosar, I don’t know them, but I’m reminded of that old line from the ‘Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid’ movie where - where one character says, ‘Morons, I’ve got morons on my team.’ And I have to think anybody that would sit down with White nationalists and speak at their conference was certainly missing a few IQ points.”

There’s an uncle to be proud of, if you’d ever acknowledge him.

Let’s begin.
