The real story behind this @VAYD @virginiadems @TerryMcAuliffe gambit will be a compelling story of how to kill a dying campaign.

Whose stupid idea was this?
Who directed the op?
Who dressed up for the op?

No candidate or party should ever again hire the operatives involved.
What kind of people think staging a dirty trick operation harkening back to a tragic day when a person was killed is a good idea? This kind of people. 👇
After 37 years in campaign politics, I’ve pulled a few stunts, dirty tricks, whatever. There are simple rules to the game - the central one: if you get busted, the caper must be considered, at its core, comedic.

These dim @vademocrats spoofed a tragedy where a woman was killed.
And you can’t take yourself too seriously, for sure, because sometimes it’s you who ends up in the chicken suit. (Bolanos v Villabos, FL Senate 2006)
And, if you aren’t too bright, or you don’t have boundaries nor experience, or you’re obsessed with race baiting, you might end up dressing as something not funny at all.

These people need to be exposed and marked as needing a new line of work. NOW.
One thing is abundantly clear: the McAuliffe campaign is over. Done. Cooked.

Unfortunately the activist Democrat media will blame stupid campaign gaffes for the loss and discount the indication of a national trend away from the Biden Democrats. (And they won’t be totally wrong.)
Now we know who the idiots were at the top of this op, and color me shocked. 🙄
And, of course, the biggest losers beyond the candidate they damaged with their stupidity are the fools who fell for it.

Jake Sullivan is at the center of the Russiagate hoax - he created the NatSec corruption as a campaign tactic - and he should be investigated fully for his actions.

Instead, he’s in charge of national security under Biden because we live in a joke country.
Former Acting Assistant AG for NatSec Mary McCord is at the center of the Russiagate hoax - she lied to the FISA court to get warrants on Carter Page and should be investigated for her actions.

Instead, she now advises the court she lied to because we live in a joke country. Image
Former CIA Director John Brennan is at the center of the Russiagate hoax - in 2015 he asked US allies to spy on 26 Trump campaign figures to start the corrupt investigation. He must be investigated.

Instead, he is a member of the @DHSgov Homeland Intelligence Experts Group because we are a joke country.Image

Proving CDC learned nothing from COVID: they’re still fatally bureaucratic and cannot handle emergency data collection.

As COVID took off, we could not get CDC to move quickly or even resolutely on data collection. Simple 1-day changes took them weeks. 1/
apple.news/A_ZLzv672Q02fd…
In month 2 of CDC database changes which should have taken days, HHS leaders took CDC off the job and started HHS Protects, a nimble data management system which quickly made up for time CDC had lost.

CDC went nuts, leaked accusations to the media. 2/ nytimes.com/2020/07/14/us/…
CDC lost that battle; HHS fixed the data. As a result the Center had a bureaucratic meltdown, surprising everyone by simply taking all their data off their Web site.

Warned nobody.

Just disappeared their data in the midst of a pandemic.

POOF!

.⁦@KimStrassel⁩ spells out the wreckage that was once the American justice system. It’s a big club and you ain’t in it.

Put a finer point on it: we all live in Russia, where this same system prosecutes and imprisons people who aren’t in their club. wsj.com/articles/john-…
2/ It's a big club, and you ain’t in it. You and I are not in the big club. And by the way, it's the same big club they use to beat you over the head with all day long when they tell you what to believe. All day long beating you over the head in their media…
3/ The table is tilted folks. The game is rigged, and nobody seems to notice, nobody seems to care. Good honest hard-working people… these are people of modest means -- continue to elect these rich cocksuckers who don’t give a fuck about them. They don’t give a fuck about you…

.@thamburger Is it a bit uncomfortable to have it known you were working so closely as this with a paid partisan? Fusion fed you lies and you dutifully transcribed them as stories, even after your Moscow bureau called them “impossible BS.”

“It is, indeed, hard to believe.” 🤣
Look! A Fusion GPS buffet table! 🤣

A not-unrelated story:

“Walter Duranty, the New York Times’ man in Moscow, outright lied about the [Holodomor], deliberately misleading his readers. In 1932, he was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for reporting.”

4 million innocents starved to death.

In 1992 I was a media guy on the Bush-Quayle re-election team. I called up my friend #PJ O’Rourke in NH.

ME: Hey PJ. I’ve got a funny scam I wanna play on Clinton-Gore. You in?

PJ: Hell yeah. Will there be smoked meats?

ME: Um nooo.

PJ: Ok. I’m still in. What’s the plan? 1/ Image
I explained that my team was responsible for all satellite TV work on the Bush re-elect and our sat-time buyer had tipped us off to a big Clinton-Gore buy. We figured out there was a national college student rally planned for Clinton at dozens of campuses across the country.

2/ Image
Bill Clinton would speak at one school, then Hillary at another, Al and Tipper at two other schools. Surrogates at watch parties speaking across the country. One long consecutive remote rally, all connected by satellite. Actually a pretty innovative campaign event for 1992.

Let me help you here, @dchangmiami. As one of many immunocompromised patients who received the Evusheld antibodies at @IcareMedicine, I feel blessed. It wasn’t easy, but it could have been if BidenCo could find their backsides with both hands. They can’t. 1/
Evusheld is an important treatment made available by @GovRonDeSantis and @FLSurgeonGen Joseph Ladapo for immunocompromised Floridians including cancer recovery patients like me. I was vaxed 3 times with Moderna but an antibodies test revealed that I had zero B cell immunities. 2/
This was a shock for our family. Still in the early stages of my cancer recovery it was a real possibility I might get sick with Omicron. I called many hospitals; I couldn’t get a human on the phone. (Are you surprised?) The first place to even talk to me was @IcareMedicine. 3/
