See in the lead up to considering running Herschel would have reviewed all potential damaging information available or accessible in the public realm.
He knew this could come out.
So then you have a choice. Try to avoid it or confront it early.
If you decide to confront it early then the question is how do you push out this information and what framing is it given.
As a result of this coming out via @AP, team Herschel can make this about McConnell attempting to interfere in Georgia.
That is actually a very useful and powerful narrative given the recent events in Georgia.
So by getting this info out early it actually sets the table for Herschel to announce and pitch that he will represent Georgians not McConnell’s interests.

So saying I am a conservative could mean you fiercely believe in defending individual liberties as delineated in the bill of rights AND believe a woman should have the right to an abortion. Or to be a porn star. 2/5
Yes mostly people presume that a conservative is a person committed to maintaining or conserving the culture or even a religious conservative orthodoxy but it is actually false to say that a these are intrinsic to being a conservative.
I’m going to try to break down my issue with how Tucker rolled out the NSA story.
First of all, Tucker broke his own story.
Supposedly because he was approached by an NSA whistleblower. 1/
This meant he had total control of how the story was “reported”.
When he told his audience the story that NSA was collecting his coms he also gave a why. He said they were targeting him specifically with the intent of destroying him, “take my show off the air”. 2/
At the time he was breaking “news”, he withheld a key piece of information that his audience should’ve been told because it would’ve affected their understanding of the story and undercut the claim he was making. It’s like a prosecutor withholding exculpatory evidence. 3/
“Similarly, Justice Alito criticized attempts made to paint the entire legislature as racist based on a “racially-tinged” video and unfounded claims of voter fraud made by one politician, writing:” 1/3
“Under our form of government, legislators have a duty to exercise their judgment and to represent their constituents. It is insulting to suggest that they are mere dupes or tools.” 2/3
Maybe you noticed last night but if not I’ll fill you in. There are those on the right, people you would assume would be on “our side” and 100% MAGA who are either angry at Trump or jealous of him.
They believe this is their movement and they want it back.
They’re using all sorts of disinformation tactics to lift themselves up diminish Trump.
They are trolling Trump’s attempts to help people like @MaxMillerOH defeat RINOs like Anthony Gonzales.
Diminishing the incredible political power that has 1 million people watching a rally online and 25,00 people showing up in person 6 months after Trump lost the WH and a year and a half before the mid terms.
As though they or any of their preferred politicians could touch that.
