Huckleberries: When pigs fly and local Republicans ♥ commies
This Huckleberries column ran Monday. Due to the holiday, I didn’t publish it here on Huckleberries Online. Until now:
Yes, that was a pig flying.
The reason? Some Kootenai County Republicans are miffed that Idaho’s U.S. Sens. Mike Crapo and Jim Risch aren’t hopping aboard President Donald Trump’s Love Boat cruise with BFF Vladimir Putin.
The local Republicans think Vlad and nationalist Russia are jolly good fellas for resisting the “progressive globalist agenda” – whatever that is – and that Crapo and Risch are weakening Trump’s hand in foreign relations by not playing “follow the leader” in regard to Russia.
In a resolution introduced last week, the newly minted Russia lovers on the Central Committee criticized a bill authored by Crapo, “Countering Russian Aggression and Cyberattacks Act of 2017.” And resolved to “strongly urge” Crapo and Risch “to re-examine their foreign policy orientations” and “to reverse course and adopt an anti-globalist, ‘America First,’ foreign policy orientation.” Some mentioned the two senators in the same breath as the hated “Democrats.” Never mind that Crapo and Risch are among the most conservative senators in Congress.
The resolution was tabled until next month.
That sound you hear is Ronald Reagan and every other anti-commie, Republican president since Ike spinning in their graves. Full column here.
