Youngkin, Earle-Sears, Reid, Miyares All Appeared with Brian Kilmeade, Who Just Called For “involuntary lethal injection” of Homeless People; But None Have Condemned Those Remarks. Why Not?

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

So let’s just get this straight, these are clearly the rules everyone’s playing by.

  1. If any Democrat, anytime/anywhere, random activist or endorser or whoever, says *anything* that Republicans deem offensive (and/or that actually IS offensive, stupid, etc.), then top Democrats like Abigail Spanberger must *strongly* and *immediately* condemn, disavow, etc. those people. And even when Spanberger or whoever DOES condemn/disavow the remarks, it won’t be sufficient for Republicans, or stated the exact way Republicans want it to be stated, or not stated quickly enough, or not stated frequently enough, or…
  2. If a leading Republican – Donald Trump, for instance, who says offensive, extreme, insane, divisive, etc. stuff pretty much constantly – or media figure – Fox “News” host Brian Kilmeade, for instance, who on 9/10 called for ” involuntary lethal injection…just kill them” for homeless people – says something heinous, pretty much nobody calls for leading Republicans to condemn/disavow any of that. 

In the Kilmeade case, for instance, has anyone seen literally ANY calls for Virginia Republicans who have appeared on his show – Glenn Youngkin, Winsome Earle-Sears, John Reid, Jason Miyares, etc. – to condemn the “involuntary lethal injection…just kill them” comments? And has anyone seen any of those Virginia Republicans – Youngkin, Earle-Sears, Reid or Miyares – condemn Kilmeade on their own, without any prompting or demands that they do so? Nope, didn’t think so…those are the rules, apparently.
