    McCaul went on to call the tactics despicable and added, “If this is the level of my party, I think it’s in the gutter and we need to get out of the gutter right now.”

    Hey, McCaul - you can get out of the gutter any time you want. If that is the level of your party, and you continue to carry water for them you are complicit.

    Threats of violence, sounds like a Jordan MOB call. Guess Jimmy hasn’t changed his attitude much since helping to orchestrate January 6th for Trump, voting against election results, defending Trump during his impeachment, opposing Trumps investigations, voting to repeal the Affordable Care Act, backing Trumps ridiculous Mexican border wall, backing Trump’s efforts to roll back regulations on environmental regulations, financial regulations, and labor regulations… etc etc etc

      It definitely sounds like a mob threat. “We hear you’re not voting our way. That makes Mr. Jordan mad. You don’t want to make Mr. Jordan mad.”

      Oh, they said that they “weren’t violent like the left” before threatening to sexually assault her.

      They’re on base, and you can’t tripple-stamp a double-stamp, no take-backs, etc.

      These fuggin’ morons think (just like Trump) that using the magic words “non-violent” is a free pass to say whatever stupid and horrible shit they want without consequences.

      I guess Fox news and other right wing outlets are saying the left is violent? It wasn’t the left I saw trying to overturn American democracy on Jan 6th…with lots of violence.

      I am sure the right has spun the Jan 6th people as being peaceful tourist-because they have. The rights leader is an orange liar.

        Fascists have to accuse the left of being violent or they have no cover to be violent against the left.

        The left doesn’t need to lie about the fascists, the fascists are violent and that’s just basic facts.

        Didn’t one of these die hard “America First” Republicans stab a little boy to death in front his mother like not even a week ago? It’s clear who’s violent.

    Whoever told him to do this was very clear to remind the caller to not announce any acts of violence, to keep it all non-violent. And he was like “uh-huh. Uh-huh. Okay ‘we’re going to be up your ass molesting you, non-violent, non-violent’”

        Obama is just a puppet. You heard the voicemail, this guy said “We are Antifa now” this is clearly a Soros funded BLM crisis actor trying to sow chaos and damage public perception of republicans. We would never threaten a woman. She has every right to feel safe in her kitchen amongst the survivors of her 12 school age children.

          Claims to be a supposedly radical and violent left wing group… Threatens them because they won’t vote for Jordans.

      Conservatives by default assume they’re one of the special people in the imaginary hierarchy.

      It’s why even the poor ones always have so much disdain for “others” being helped. Even when that might also benefit themselves. Because now that “other” is potentially being elevated to a similar status.

      Or even more simply, these idiots got main character syndrome and we all get to suffer for it.

    To be clear McCaul, the faction you are referring to are the MAGAts supporting Trump. You know, the supposed second coming of Jesus you’ve been supporting. He has taken the GOP into the gutter. The GOP was shit before but now they are absolutely traitorous scum sucking shit bags.
