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?
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?
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.
