The optics of a Confederate flag behind Lake on the Arizona campaign trail can only hamper her efforts to appeal to moderates.

    What is with failed talk show hosts and American politics?

          I live in Cincinnati, that’s literally the point.

    The campaign told the Guardian it “does not respond to British propaganda outlets. We stopped doing that in 1776.”

    I know the Guardian isn’t propaganda, but that was at least a noteworthy burn.

      Not really. Specifying “British” and nothing else suggests she’s willing to respond to American propaganda outlets (well, “she” as part of the campaign.) Also, the other dodge (that Kari went to the store but doesn’t own it) doesn’t in any way diminish the fact that she still gave the speech in front of the flag. If she didn’t want that image, she could have asked for it to be taken down or gone somewhere else.

      It’s too bad she stopped paying attention past the 1860s.

    She is willing to going to war for the rights of racists and misogynists. It really boggles the mind that these people exist in our modern world and actually get support.

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
