Former RNC Chair Sums Up Current GOP Accurately

   After the PR stunt by Jim Jordan, former RNC Chair Tim Miller had this to say, which perfectly encompasses today's GOP:
   
   “If you are fighting for victims of crime, you will be going out there saying, ‘Oh, hey, we’re proposing reforms, like we’re proposing police reforms.’ Whatever it is. ‘Criminal justice reform we think that will make our streets safer,’” said Miller.
   
   “That is not what this is. This is just a big show, a performative show, to performatively fight Alvin Bragg. That is what the whole Trump era has been,” he continued. “That’s what the party has been. They want people to be this supposed big middle finger to the left — to the people that they hate — but they aren’t actually doing anything.”
   
   “He’s not doing any of the hard things,” Miller added. “It’s just all this, ‘Oh, I can do a good tweet or a good, you know, have a good hearing performance that makes fun of somebody that my people hate.’ And that is fighting I guess, in this sort of distorted worldview, and that is the whole party now. And he’s had success within the party because he represents that.”
   
   This, again, shows how the moderates on the right can see the MAGA people for just who they are - a hate-spewing, anti-democratic group.

      The eleven hours of questioning Secretary Clinton - after a dozen previous congressional investigations that showed the tragedy of Benghazi to be exactly that: a tragedy - Jordan once again in his signature coatless state  walks in front of the cameras and grandstands for those in the cheap seats.

         Yeah, that's an accurate summary.  Weaponizing the government for media talking points.
