Ramirez shows true colors
What? Michael Ramirez dissing a Republican? Best Christmas present ever! Of course, there has been scant proof of any of the accusations against Russian President Vladimir Putin contained in the cartoon, even though it’s widely thought to be true. Less proof, actually, than the data supporting climate change (data ExxonMobil gathered and substantiated years ago), which Ramirez continually rails against.
Could it be Ramirez has finally shown his true colors — those of a corporate stooge, a syndicated mouthpiece who reaches millions of biased ears? After all, his cartoons are printed in Investor’s Business Daily, which sees Republican candidate Donald Trump for what he truly is: a guaranteed vote for the Democratic presidential nominee. That could spell the beginning of the end for corporate welfare at the cost of quotidian taxpayers, which means his wallet takes a hit? Just gleefully curious.
