Alabama GOP Rep Called His Voters 'Uninformed' - 'They Don't Know the Truth' (Video)
2017-08-10
[PJ] On a talk radio program out of Huntsville, Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL) tried to dodge a question about an attack ad running against him that claims he was a never-Trumper. But instead of simply denying that he was a never-Trumper, he thought it best to bash his constituents. He said, "A lot of people are relatively uninformed, they don't know the truth, they are easy to deceive." That's usually not the kind of rhetoric you want to put out there about your own voters!

#5  Recall the following comments. We know what these self-styled aristocrats think of we deplorables and unredeemables.

What Jonathan Gruber — the “architect” of Obamacare – said:

“Lack of transparency is a huge political advantage,” Gruber said. “And basically, call it the stupidity of the American voter or whatever, but basically that was really, really critical for the thing to pass.”

Secretary Clinton is not an entertainer, and not a celebrity in the Trump, Kardashian mold; what can she do to offset this? I'm certain the poll-directed insiders are sure things will default to policy as soon as the conventions are over, but I think not. And as I've mentioned, we've all been quite content to demean government, drop civics and in general conspire to produce an unaware and compliant citizenry. The unawareness remains strong but compliance is obviously fading rapidly. This problem demands some serious, serious thinking - and not just poll driven, demographically-inspired messaging.

#4  Isn't part of his job to do the informing, say, at town halls and when he's on the radio?

#3  The election of Obama (twice!) proves he was correct: "A lot of people are relatively uninformed, they don't know the truth, they are easy to deceive."

#2  "Alot of people are relatively uninformed, they don't know the truth, they are easy to deceive."

Meanwhile, the MSM basically agreed with Mo's statement and continued to put out their propaganda and disinformation.
