Something Republicans are truly good at is hypocrisy:
“During the confirmation process for Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett, Sen. Kelly Loeffler, R-Ga., decried the ‘anti-faith attacks against Amy Coney Barrett coming from the left’ as ‘disgusting.’ Loeffler was part of a conservative chorus lamenting any mention of the judge’s faith.”
What tune do suppose she’s singing now, when running against an opponent who is a pastor? How about this:
“In a debate Sunday night with her challenger, the Rev. Raphael Warnock, senior pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, Loeffler waged an all-out attack on her opponent’s Christian beliefs.”
(Read story here.) Loeffler, who was appointed to a Senate seat position after Sen. Johnny Isaakson resigned last year for health reasons, and has never been elected to a public office, is in a Georgia runoff election on Jan. 5 and could suffer the same fate as another appointed-not-elected GOP Senator, Martha McSally, who was defeated last month. Loeffler, along with Georgia’s other U.S. Senator, David Perdue, who’s also in the runoff, is embroiled in an insider trading scandal; she and Perdue both dumped stock after learning in confidential Senate briefings, and before the public knew, that Covid-19 was about to become a pandemic; then, after the market tanked, they bought it back, making millions.
Of course, it’s not news that Republican are hypocrites. There’s Lindsey Graham’s infamous flipflopping on impeachment, Mitch McConnell’s brazen flipflopping on confirming justices in an election year, and Trump voting by mail in Florida while attacking mail voting elsewhere as “fraudulent.” Their constant doom-and-gloom bleating about “deficits,” followed by borrowing a trillion bucks from our Chinese friends to give billionaires a huge tax cut. And countless other examples of Republican “do as I say, not as I do” hypocrisy (e.g., secretly sending their mistresses to get abortions).
They just have no credibility about anything anymore.
