Here’s one for you out of the Democrat playbook.
Democrat political consultant — and former candidate for the State Legislature — Elizabeth Arnold, went on a Twitter rant about the gender, age and attractiveness of one of the candidates for Kansas’s third district House seat.
Here’s a compilation of Arnold’s thread:
Do you think it’s a coincidence Kansas Republicans are recruiting attractive young women to run for office?
They learned it works in local and state school board races and #ksleg races, so they’re sticking with a winning strategy.
Nobody expects an inoffensive, seemingly-moderate, suburban mom-type to be a complete radically extreme conservative, right?
They’re insidious b/c they deploy a facade of feminism to lend a veneer of acceptability to the GOP’s racism, corruption, & antisocial policies.
These white, wealthy women wear the mantle of respectable conventionality, making them the perfect apologists for and protectors of abusers.
They provide cover for those who abuse the law, ethics, morals, and other humans.
They dress up policies that abuse our fellow citizens.
The GOP knows their brand stands for hate, lawlessness, authoritarianism, and supremacy. They know the only way to convince voters to support them is trickery. They know their best chance at fooling voters is to run “nice” women.
Just remember, nice is different from good.
No, no, she was not commenting about the young, attractive, female Sharice Davids. See, the fact that Davids is young, female and attractive is not a factor by Arnold for Davids.
And, it’s apparently not a factor for Arnold when she looks in the mirror. The same Arnold who ran (and lost) for the Kansas District 20 House seat.
Arnold simply rehashes the position of The Squad — the team of freshmen Democrat women. According to The Squad, unless you repeat and live the positions of the radical, Democrat, Left, you can’t be a woman. You also can’t be a person of color, a different sexual orientation or just about anything other than a white male. (In which case you’re damned if you do/don’t.)
Oh, and here’s the reality in any case: You should take the background and experience of someone like Sara Hart Weir over Sharice Davids any day of the week and twice on Sundays. Davids, a political unknown with a minimal resume and clearly inferior command of the issues, defeated the incumbent Republican because, arguably…she was a young, attractive, LGBTQ, female. She was the polar opposite of her Democrat opponent, and Kevin Yoder, and that put her through.
In any case, this is the garbage identity politics that you’re getting from Kansas political consultants.
It won’t stop. And you know what to expect from the Democrats who are leading Rep. Davids around right now.
