There’s No Place in the GOP for Stooges of the Blue Media – Opinion

Mike Pence, former Vice President of the United States, probably believes that even if he’s not the front-runner in 2024 GOP Presidential Nominations, he still has a chance and could be one of the five top contenders.

That’s not going to last very long if he continues doing what he did Friday. Now that GOP voters have seen Trump and DeSantis, they are no longer impressed by so-called “Republicans” who willingly serve as stooges for the Democratic Party’s Blue Media. Mr. Pence deserves every bit of the glowing coverage he is receiving from the Washington Post, the Huffington Post, NBC News, and other similarly-inclined shovelers of the Democratic Party’s narratives.

This is something you may have not heard of. It hasn’t received a lot of coverage on our side of The Big Ditch. CNN and Rolling Stone liked it. But other than the NY Post, it doesn’t look like anybody on our side wanted much to do with it.

Here’s what our would-be 2024 presidential nominee did for us on Friday: he went in front of a group of Republican donors who were assembled at the RNC retreat in New Orleans, and told them that, “There is no room in this party for apologists for Putin.”

Unless you just wandered out of the forest — and didn’t read Jeff Charles’ Progressive Media Still Pretending Conservatives Love Putin — you’re probably aware that Putin Supports the RepublicansThe Democrats’ latest bloody shirt is being waved by their propaganda media and degenerate Democrats in their ongoing campaign to divide and sow hate among their base.

So, what was Mike Pence doing even talking about “Putin apologists” in the GOP? He is most likely reciting something that he had read in the WaPo. Fair enough, Mike Pence did not mention Donald Trump during his speech. The press was also barred from entering the room. But also to be fair, who among us is surprised that Pence’s comments turned into Blue Media headlines like: Mike Pence Blames Trump for Putin’s Praise at the GOP Event? Isn’t this what they always do?

Pence is an old man and should be aware of these traps. These are the same things we learned from pre-Trump GOP members, who always walked on eggshells as they believed the best. Democrats’Media was The media.

Well, it’s not. However, it was once 20 years ago. Only about 32 percent of the public — basically the Democratic Party’s base — trusts the so-called legacy media to cover events fairly, or to even tell the truth. Virtually no one who votes GOP — these are the people Pence will need if he intends to be the party’s nominee — believes a word those people say. Who on this side of The Big Ditch believes that more than a handful of self-identified “Republicans” who also happen to be nutjobs, qualify as “Putin apologists”? Sure, The Other Guys are all saying that, but that’s why they are The Other Guys. They don’t speak for us. They don’t even know us. They think we’re all high school dropouts named Cletus who live in trailer parks.

There does exist this stupid narrative in the Blue Media that pointing out that Vladimir Putin is unlikely to sport a two-digit IQ amounts to “praising” Putin. That’s just naked propaganda BS designed to persuade stupid people; it’s nothing we should counter or even react to. The Democrats do have a lot of stupid, ignorant people within their base. They motivate them with this type of garbage. But most of them don’t even vote.

From where I sit, the worst castoff from Ron DeSantis’ press shop would be an improvement over whoever advised Mike Pence to toss this one right over the plate for the WaPo and its friends to hit out of the park. This was dumb. The Republican voter has now understood the truth. We don’t have to accept this kind of lazy deference to a mythical “mainstream media.” There is no mainstream media. There is “our” media and “their” media, and GOP candidates who seek coverage in “their” media by parroting their talking points had best expect to get their votes over there as well — because they won’t get ours.
