Meanwhile, Saccone dug deep into the GOP playbook and went full retard (from Roll Call):
Pennsylvania state Rep. Rick Saccone accused the Democratic party of being energized by “hatred” for “our country,” “God,” and “our president” on the eve of a most important day in his political career so far.
Saccone made the comments Monday at a rally at a local volunteer fire department in Blaine Hill. He squares off Tuesday against Democrat Conor Lamb in the special election for Pennsylvania’s 18th District.
“They say the other side is energized,” Saccone said in a video posted to Twitter by NBC News. “Let me tell you, they’re energized for hate for our president. They have a hatred for our president.”
“I’ve talked to so many of these on the left,” Saccone said. “And they have a hatred for our president. And I tell you, many of them have a hatred for our country.”
“I’ll tell you some more — my wife and I saw it again today: They have a hatred for God,” Saccone said. “It’s amazing. You see it when I’m talking to them. It’s disturbing to me.”
And there you have it. When the only 'accomplishment' these assholes can point to fails to get traction among working class voters, there's always demonizing and questioning the patriotism of others.
The GOP is hopelessly ethically and intellectually bankrupt. That's hardly a news flash. But it would be nice for a change if the Republicans weren't so intent on reminding us of it every goddamn day.
