Apparently, Republican strategist Cheri Jacobus is talking smack about me from behind a block.
Okay, fine. Let’s do this.

For those who aren’t familiar with Jacobus, she was a lifelong Repub operative right up until she had the messiest of divorces from the people who paid her over her Never-Trump stance.

Trump called her “a big dummy”.
In her infinite wisdom, Jacobus thought that was the kind of thing you could sue someone over.
She sued. She lost.

Since then, she has rather awkwardly gone looking for sympathetic new friends over on the left.
After all, she’s a victim of right-wing meanness. She’ll be the first to tell you that... endlessly.

Here’s the thing though, Jacobus spent her career happily peddling vile sleaze herself.
I mean, in 2015, it was JACOBUS who insisted Clinton apologize for saying the GOP’s treatment of women was unfair.

But that’s just the tip of the Jacobus iceberg.
Some of her sleazeball greatest hits:
There was the time she dog-whistled to bigots over Obama’s Muslim-sounding middle name.

...and then there were the times when Jacobus vomited up hit pieces repeating GOP sleaze about Obama’s ties to community organizations that registered voters.

...and then there were the times Jacobus claimed Obama was an illegitimate president who stole an election through voter fraud.
That sound familiar?

...and then there was the time she repped sleazeballs who ran a TV ad of Obama *literally* pushing an old woman off a cliff.

...and just to cover all the Republican bases, there was the time she slammed Hillary for not being a good housewife...
...wait for it...
...when she was First Lady.

I could go on and on. I mean, this is what this woman did for a living.
This is a woman who *I kid you not* once suggested a politician who was discovered to be gay might still be against gay marriage because Jesus.

Whether it was repeating Bush Admin lies about WMDs or pumping fake Benghazi propaganda, Jacobus was there for it.

Let me offer you a couple pro-tips, Jacobus.
The left isn’t the right.
We actually read.
We actually remember things.
We bring receipts.

We remember the homophobic, race-baiting, bigoted dog whistles.
We remember the water-carrying for misogyny.
We remember the “voter fraud” lies and claims Obama was an illegitimate president.

The left ain’t Fox News, ma’am.
If you want to pull off a rebranding, start by being less of a sanctimonious ass about others’ past statements.
You were a talking garbage pail until about five minutes ago.
Maybe pick fewer fights with people who know your whole deal.
