President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

"Presidential Harassment"

 

Minnesota's own Jason Lewis is a swell guy

ST. PAUL, Minn. — A recently defeated Republican congressman from Minnesota is blaming the Democratic House takeover on the late Sen. John McCain's vote against repealing the Affordable Care Act.

First-term Rep. made the argument in a Wall Street Journal opinion piece published Sunday. Lewis lost to Democrat Angie Craig last week in his suburban Minnesota seat.

Lewis says McCain's vote against repealing the health care law unleashed a wave of Democratic attack ads against Republicans across the country on protecting pre-existing conditions.

Jason also said this a while back:

When asked if the Civil War was worth fighting during an interview in 2011 about his book, Lewis did not respond with a clear answer and eventually said it was "kinda hard to say."

As Lewis battles with six other candidates for the Republican nomination for Congress in Minnesota's Second Congressional District, his comments on states' rights and the Civil War provide insight into his beliefs on the appropriate role of the federal government and they also provide material for his political opponents.

Days after Lewis announced his campaign for Congress, Lewis released an updated addition of new material in his audio book from 2011. In the bonus commentary, Lewis discussed recent decisions from the U.S. Supreme Court,including the ruling which legalized same-sex marriage in the United States.

In his criticism of the court's ruling which legalized same-sex marriage, Lewis questions the federal government's role in defining marriage and also in outlawing slavery:

In fact, if you really want to be quite frank about it, how does somebody else owning a slave affect me? It doesn’t. If I don’t think it is right, I won’t own one, and people always say ‘well if you don’t want to marry somebody of the same sex, you don’t have to, but why tell somebody else they can’t. Uh, you know if you don’t want to own a slave, don’t. But don’t tell other people they can’t.

Lewis later said "social decisions" should be left "to the collective wisdom of the states and the people. Because the courts are not smart enough to know what the answer is."

He's also the guy who wondered why "slut" isn't acceptable and filmed a spot in the last week of the campaign that showed him door-knocking, but it wasn't even filmed in the district he represented.

Good job, Republicans. He's your guy.

 

Lulz.

 

He’s deranged. The 25th needs to be used.

 

The alien spacecraft that was in the news last week has taken over their minds and makes them say these things

 

Great job, Iowa Republicans!

 

Come and get us, coppers!

 

MAGA
