The NRCC’s oh-so-subtle press releases (cont.)

Posted in:

* NRCC at 1:51 this afternoon…

Say cheese!

Sean Casten proudly displayed his commitment to a socialist agenda yesterday, posing for a “Unity” photo-op with fellow socialists AOC and Ilhan Omar.

Unity indeed. Casten votes with AOC 94% of the time and enthusiastically supports Item #1 on the socialist agenda: impeachment.

Three cheers for open borders and banning red meat!

The photo was of all freshmen Democrats.

* NRCC at 1:50 this afternoon…

Say cheese!

Fake nurse Lauren Underwood proudly displayed her commitment to a socialist agenda yesterday, posing for a “Unity” photo-op with fellow socialists AOC and Ilhan Omar.

Unity indeed. Underwood votes with AOC 93% of the time and supports Item #1 on the socialist agenda: baseless impeachment of President Trump.

Three cheers for open borders and banning red meat!

I wonder if anyone actually writes stories based on these releases or if the rhetorical missiles just sit unopened in dozens of in-boxes.

  1. Being a lover of the rhetorical missile, I’m gonna go with that.

  2. The Republican Party is so old, as far as attacks. No wonder the base is shrinking here and elsewhere. What are the plans that voters want, or do the attacks purposely obscure unpopular ideas—like Madigan attacks do?

    you literally just did

  4. ===Item #1 on the socialist agenda: impeachment.===

    I had no idea the Constitution of the United States was a socialist document.

  5. ===you literally just did ===

    Yes, in order to ask that question. lol

  6. Meh.

    Slip and Sue, Ives, Oberweis…

    They will have to run with Trump.

    None of those three are bridge-builders outside the Trumpkin universe.

  7. AOC is the GOP strategy this year. She will be in mail boxes all over the country.

    Comment by Frank talks Tuesday, Sep 10, 19 @ 2:14 pm

  8. Neither Casten nor Underwood cosponsored the Green New Deal (which Bloomberg says will make beef more expensive. Not ban it.) Is there an open borders bill? A Schengen Area agreement of some type? What number is that?

  9. ===She will be in mail boxes all over the country===

    Good luck with that.

    Comment by Rich Miller Tuesday, Sep 10, 19 @ 2:28 pm

  10. Well, in IL-14, don’t like Oberweis? You have Catella, Gradel, Lauf, Malouf, Marter (of Oswego), and Rezin.

    Can any of them build a bridge, or two?

    Comment by John Lopez Tuesday, Sep 10, 19 @ 2:29 pm

  11. Rich - Thank you for reading these emails so we don’t have to.

    Comment by NIU Grad Tuesday, Sep 10, 19 @ 2:31 pm

  12. ===AOC is the GOP strategy this year. She will be in mail boxes all over the country.===

    “We’re racist, just ask us”

    That’ll work.

    ===Can any of them build a bridge, or two?===

    That’s why we have primaries, lol

    I’m excited to see the Oberweis helicopter video again, reinforcing who Oberweis is and has been for a long time… in a year Trump is running too.

    That’s fun.

  13. ==Rich - Thank you for reading these emails so we don’t have to.==

    This. We owe you one, Rich

  14. 3 cheers indeed, but unironically

    Comment by SWIL Voter Tuesday, Sep 10, 19 @ 2:53 pm

  15. At least Casten isn’t for “baseless impeachment” like comrade Underwood.

    Comment by Dgd Tuesday, Sep 10, 19 @ 3:30 pm

  16. === … comrade Underwood. ===

    Ooh, such a brilliant comment. Trump would be proud.

    Comment by Norseman Tuesday, Sep 10, 19 @ 3:39 pm

  17. “Impeachment is item #1 on the socialist agenda.”
    Only socialists favor impeachment, like the Gingrich House that impeached Clinton?

    Comment by anon2 Tuesday, Sep 10, 19 @ 4:01 pm

  18. Trump wants to be besg friends with Putin and Kim Jun Un, but AOC, casten, and Underwood are the people the GOP want us to worry about?

    Comment by Ike Tuesday, Sep 10, 19 @ 4:18 pm

  19. “Best friends” not “besg friends”

    Comment by Ike Tuesday, Sep 10, 19 @ 4:22 pm

  20. ==Gingrich House that impeached Clinton?==

    Obviously *they’re* not the socialists. I’m sure they had to impeach Clinton because he was a socialist. It just makes sense.

    Comment by lakeside Tuesday, Sep 10, 19 @ 4:24 pm

  21. I wish all the mainstream liberal democrats were actually as radical as the GOP claims they are…

    Comment by Actual Red Tuesday, Sep 10, 19 @ 5:29 pm

  22. Partisan outfits eat these things up and the right-wing retweeters repeat repeat repeat.

    That’s how lies like the conservative fib about Rep. Underwood’s nursing career get started and continue.

  23. ===Can any of them build a bridge, or two?===
    Most likely Gradel. He raised the most dough last quarter, and is an outsider (so no voting record). Probably stands the best chance.
