'F*** the Bible Voters': Democratic Fundraiser Crosses Every Line Imaginable
That’s it. I have come to the personal conclusion that liberals have completely lost their marbles.
This story reminds me of my mother trying to teach me as a young child that we are judged by the company we keep. I didn’t understand it then, but I certainly understand it now, especially as it applies in the world of politics.
However, that lesson is completely lost on the left.
The Washington Examiner published a piece by Ryan Girdusky on Monday that clearly illustrates that reality.
As he wrote, the Democrats have their sights set on overturning some Republican congressional districts in the November midterm elections by convincing voters their supposedly moderate candidates hold dear the center-right values of the voting demographic.
However, Democratic campaigns in Texas and Kentucky have teamed up with a motivational speaker “who has a history of hostile rhetoric and negative views of middle America,” Girdusky wrote.
That can’t possibly play well in those states.
“Retired Lt. Col. Amy McGrath and former Tennessee Titans linebacker Colin Allred are running in Kentucky’s 6th Congressional District and Texas’ 32nd District, respectively,” he wrote. “Both candidates have been campaigning as centrists, and neither have endorsed extreme positions like, for example, abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement. But despite their carefully crafted images, they have been working with far-left-wing activist and motivational speaker Laura Gassner Otting.”
And while her background seems harmless enough for a liberal, it hardly tells the entire story.
“According to her website, Otting is a professional motivational speaker who ‘helps innovators, idealists, and critics get “unstuck” in their thinking.’ Before becoming a motivational speaker, she was a political appointee for the Bill Clinton White House and then worked for several nonprofits,” Girdusky wrote.
Here’s where it gets sticky for Otting and Democrats.
Nothing ever dies completely on the internet. It never goes away. Girdusky found some old Facebook posts where Otting emotionally up-chucks all over conservatives and everything they stand for.
How is she going to paint Democratic candidates as centrists when she holds core beliefs that are diametrically opposed to her target audiences?
The Examiner posted screen shots of some of her vile rants, explicit language and all.
Her disdain for those who didn’t support Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is apparent in this post from August 2017.
“F— the patriarchy,” she began.
“F— the white males standing by in silence.
“F— the bible voters who looked away and believed the worst rumors about her instead of facing up to the worst facts about him.
“F— those who think they are being ‘replaced’ because they have to, for the first time in their privileged lives, compete with people who spend their days being twice, thrice, and four times as good to still just get table scraps.
“And f— those who didn’t vote, stayed out of the fray, considered themselves non-political, or couldn’t bring themselves to vote ‘for the lesser of two evils.'”
After Donald Trump won the election in November 2016, she went into a rant against “sexist” and “racist” America.
“So, America wants major change?” Otting wrote. “But, also overwhelmingly sent every ineffective male Republican incumbent back to the House and Senate? Don’t tell me this isn’t about misogyny.
“It turns out hate trumps love after all.
“Side note: who knew that America was even more sexist than racist? And jeez, it is racist.”
Girdusky connected the dots and noted that while Otting holds deeply disdainful feelings about conservatives and middle America, she held fundraisers for candidates Allred and McGrath at her home on June 25 and Sept. 25, respectively.
Girdusky said he attempted to reach out to the Allred and McGrath campaigns for an explanation, but representatives failed to return his calls.
Maybe the lesson here for Democrats is to be smarter about portraying themselves as something they aren’t. Americans are on to them.
