On the show today, there are two main points: When you attack a dead guy, no matter how true your attacks may be, it drowns out whatever message you're hoping to get across; and progressives will never miss an opportunity to chip away at the rights of individuals, even if it means standing on a pile of bodies to do it.
President Donald Trump had some great economic news to talk about in Ohio yesterday, but a five-minute tangent of criticizing the late Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain was all anyone was talking about when his speech was done. The best thing the President has going for his reelection is just how crazy Democrats have become, but the worst thing he has going for him is his ability to stop all over his own message.
It's one thing to counter-punch, which the president usually does and does well. It's another to punch down. Yesterday, Trump not only punched down; he punched the ground — a grave. No matter how valid the criticisms were, they come across as unseemly when the target is dead. We make the case (and expect to catch outrage over it - let the hate email flow).
New Zealand is moving to ban every type of gun the Mosque terrorist attack shooter used and any accessory they could think of. Liberals in the United States immediately cheered the move and called for similar action here. The problem for them is, in New Zealand, owning a gun is a privilege. In the United States, it is a right. It's why Democrats are talking about packing the Supreme Court; they want to control any institution they can use to impose their will on the American people.
A woman in the U.K. is under investigation for a possible hate crime because she used the "wrong pronoun" to describe a trans person on Twitter. Meanwhile, a program to educate kids on LGBT issues is being halted in Birmingham because the Muslim community complained about it. It's the insanity of intersectionality come to life.
Finally, New York Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez accused Fox News hosts of calling her "Cortez" because they're racists and she's Hispanic. The only problem is, as usual, it was a complete lie. She won't apologize because, well, no one will hold her accountable.
Political correctness is fascism, and fascism is on the march.
