Seven Republican Senators Anonymously Criticize JD Vance to Leftwing Hack "Journalist"
Update: JD Vance Calls the Sneaky Anonymous Critics "Cowardly"

From the article:

"Republican senators are privately expressing frustrations over Vice President JD Vance's suggestion in a leaked group chat that the Houthis are more of a problem for Europe than the United States and his voicing of doubt that it was in the U.S.'s interest to strike the Iran-backed group in Yemen."

Really a non-story as he was not supporting the houthis, he was saying that it was Europe's problem and the US has to stop coddling them.

Donald Trump, Jr. minces no words: He attacks these seven anonymous critics as "cowards" and "pussies."

Why can they not state their criticisms publicly?

The GOPe has long practiced these dishonest, cowardly tactics. Their agenda is unpopular and scarcely different from the Democrats', except that the GOPe wants to shower the Corporate Class with trillions of dollars' worth of government favors because it's only the corrupt donations of the Corporate Class that keep this crew in office.

Trump's agenda is mostly popular, and even where its popularity is shaky, as with tariffs, he and his allies talk about it openly.

Why can't these even Senators -- and let's face it, we're all pretty confident that it's McConnell, Tillis, Corwyn, the two-faced Lindsey Graham, Collins, Murskowski, and that other dingbat from Alaska -- do their actual jobs as senators representing the public and bring their criticisms and arguments to the public?

Oh: And that idiot neolib fairy from Utah, or maybe the ultra-liberal Bill Cassidy from Louisiana.

The answer is: Because they've never done that in their entire careers. Their entire careers have been spent lying to voters and keeping true to their Corporate Class masters. They tell public lies and private truths. The idea of actually bringing their real ideas and agenda to the public is anathema to them.

They literally think that's crazy-talk. Don't you know that real power is wielded steathilly, in the darkness, shielded from the prying eyes of the peasants?

They're all afraid that, because their agenda is unpopular and has been repeatedly rejected by the public in democrat voting, they will face, get this, consequences and push-back from voters for admitting their agenda.

Why yes. That's how the system is supposed to work. The public is supposed to have the power to influence policy by expressing its support or disapproval for policies.

These anti-democracy oligarch liars can only push their agenda through stealthy, dirty maneuverings. They can never just stand in the well of the Senate and say, "I dissent, and here is why."

You all remember when Thom Tillis encouraged Pete Hegseth's brother's ex-wife to make her scurrilous, evidence-free allegations, to give him the pretext he craved to vote against Hegseth.

But publicly, he pretended he was supportive of Hegseth. He only voted in favor of him because, coward that he is, he knew the voters would hold him accountable for tanking a Trump nominee.

Which is their right, of course.

It reminds me of Bill Kristol's concept of "civil discourse." He would attack Trump for criticizing GOPers in public, or to their very faces. That's not civil, you see.

"Civility," per Kristol and his gayops grifter, consists of lying publicly while planting nasty anonymous quotes against your enemies in the press and smearing them with fake "dossiers."

That's not civil. Trump's criticisms may be uncivil, but it's both uncivil and dishonorable and craven to spread your smears anonymously so that no man may argue against you.

Apologies: I never said what the criticism was. I wrongly thought it was encapsulated in the tweet I linked.

Update: Now JD Vance agrees -- the sneaky GOPe Gollums are "cowardly."
