Beheading journalists, the N-word, and racist Obama voters: Joe Walsh’s long history of incendiary bigotry

WaEx:

Joe Walsh, who announced a primary run against President Trump on Sunday, has a long history of anti-Muslim comments, racist remarks, conspiracy theories, violent rhetoric, and more.

And the apologies Walsh has offered about his past and the claims about when he decided he could no longer support Trump appear less than forthcoming.

Walsh, 57, a former one-term Illinois congressman elected as a Republican in the Tea Party wave of 2010, underwent a political evolution over the years, from failed pro-choice congressional and statehouse runs in the 1990s to running as a pro-lifer with no exceptions when losing his seat in 2012. Now, he has completed the journey from exclaiming he would be “grabbing my musket” if Hillary Clinton defeated Donald Trump in 2016 to challenging the president in 2020. 

The longtime Chicago radio shock jock teased his presidential run earlier this month in a New York Times op-ed before making it official in a media spree weekend. He is being encouraged by Never Trump leaders such as Bill Kristol, despite Walsh claiming last year that Kristol’s Twitter feed was “like a continuous documentation of the impact Trump Derangement Syndrome has on a person.”

Now Walsh is facing questions about his own fitness, too. more here

  1. Trump clowns the media all day, but only when they attack him. And he doesn’t have to embellish whatever he is talking about.

    Walsh is just a vulgar person. He actually was/maybe still is asking for violence to be brought against people.
    Something Trump never did/isn’t.

    So, Bill Kristol is backing someone like this, but thinks Trump is the problem?
    Kristol and Walsh are both emotional wrecks. I hope it blows up hard in his face. So hard that it takes out chips.

  2. MJA, it wasn’t too long ago that Phox Nooz thought Bill Kristol along with his friends Kondracke and Barnes were the voice of reason. Kristol has always been a full of himself ass and world class never Trumper.
