“MeidasTouch host Ben Meiselas reports on the latest interview by MAGA Republican leader James Comer who admits his focus is on manipulating public perception instead of the facts and evidence to undermine President Biden.”

From the Meidas Touch

To be completely accurate and honest here: I don’t agree with 1 part of the title from my own post here. Representative James Comer (Republican, Kentucky) is not a GOP leader.

This is the real Grand Ole Party:

“The initials synonymous with the Republican Party—“GOP”—stand for “grand old party.” As early as the 1870s, politicians and newspapers began to refer to the Republican Party as both the “grand old party” and the “gallant old party” to emphasize its role in preserving the Union during the Civil War. The Republican Party of Minnesota, for instance, adopted a platform in 1874 that it said “guarantees that the grand old party that saved the country is still true to the principles that gave it birth.”

In spite of its nickname, though, the “grand old party” was only a mere teenager in the early 1870s since the Republican Party had been formed in 1854 by former Whig Party members to oppose the expansion of slavery into western territories.”

From History

What James Comer and the rest of the MAGA wing of today’s Republican Party (which doesn’t even believe in Republicanism, as a party) represents the confederate wing of the 19th Century Democratic Party, as well as the early and middle 20th Century Democratic Party. But they’re now Republicans. And if you are familiar with your American political history, you already know the story there.

As far as what House Republicans are doing here, they privately know that Donald Trump is very unpopular. That perhaps as many 3-5 American voters don’t want him to be President of the United States again. But he’s still very popular in their party and the likely Republican nominee for President again. So what they’re trying to do here, is the get the focus off of Donald Trump and back on President Joe Biden, whose also pretty unpopular today.
