No need for infighting... RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel says everyone is a, wait for it, SOCIALIST

[ck4829]

Hysterical warnings about creeping socialism have been a routine staple in conservative messaging for decades. Republicans regularly labeled President Obama a socialist during his time in office, despite no indication that the label was accurate. During this year’s Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), speakers renewed their devotion to plastering the socialist label on politicians and policies they oppose, and expressed their continued commitment to the scaremongering as the race to 2020 begins.

RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel told MSNBC yesterday, before the first round of Democratic debates, that she wasn’t sure if there was a single Democrat pursuing the presidency that she would not consider a SOCIALIST. Currently, the only Democrat seeking the 2020 nomination for president who has labeled himself a socialist is Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont.

for the "S" word, singing a labor song with workers at the Miami Airport in some kind of rally. The song is associated with Che Guevara and offended Cuban Americans Wolf said. FL Democrats and Republicans were involved.

Politico, 'De Blasio apologizes for quoting Che Guevara as Florida Dems pounce'

MIAMI — Denounced by fellow Democrats, presidential candidate and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio apologized Thursday for what he said was an inadvertent quoting of Marxist Revolutionary Ernesto “Che” Guevara in Miami, home to hundreds of thousands of exiles who had fled the bloody Cuban Revolution he led.

"I did not know the phrase I used in Miami today was associated with Che Guevara & I did not mean to offend anyone who heard it that way. I certainly apologize for not understanding that history," de Blasio wrote on Twitter after Democrats joined with Republicans in condemning him for shouting “Hasta la victoria siempre!" during a rally for striking Miami International Airport workers. The phrase, which means “until victory, always!”, was essentially trademarked by Guevara in 1959 and has been a catchphrase for the Cuban Revolution ever since.

The apology was publicly accepted by Florida Democrats, who were nevertheless upset that the mayor, after a Wednesday night debate appearance in Miami, had helped Republicans brand them as the party of socialism. The Democratic condemnation of de Blasio underscored the political stakes in the nation’s biggest swing state. President Trump has focused on wooing Florida Hispanics who have had roots in nations characterized by economic troubles, such as Cuba, Venezuela, Colombia and Nicaragua. “Mayor Bill De Blasio does not speak for Floridians or the Florida Democratic Party and he would be wise to apologize,” Florida Democratic Party Chairwoman Terrie Rizzo said on Twitter hours before the apology.

Two top state senators from Miami, Jose Javier Rodriguez and Annette Taddeo, also spoke out against de Blasio, with Taddeo saying she was “utterly disgusted.” “Delete Your Campaign,” she wrote in a Twitter hashtag. “Quoting a murderer responsible for death & oppression in communist Cuba and throughout Latin America is not acceptable. Please apologize. Many on strike are Cuban btw,” Rodriguez added. De Blasio’s remarks ricocheted through Miami political circles as hometown Sen. Marco Rubio...

5. With nearly all the Dem prez candidates trying to appeal to the Dem base,

who are relatively more important in the primaries - 'cons do have an easy attack path on the left during these debates especially.

6. And that would be Ronna ROMNEY McDaniel

She ditched her entire name that she had used for years at the request of her new hero, Dumpf.

Wonder how Daddy feels about this, he who started the first try at comprehensive health care program in Mass. when he was guv. That must be counted as "socialist" now according to Ronna.

7. Maybe if we started hitting back at them with the Fascist label,

maybe they'd think twice about throwing the Socialist label around so much. After all, Trump and McConnel are pretty much Fascist wannabes, right?
