Seems like our guy in the House is finally talking to some local news media -
in this case the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
And while the bulk of the
reporting in
this piece in today's P-G
is about Reschenthaler’s laughable defense of the twice-impeached Donald
Trump, for example:
“I think that history will regard his legacy in a very favorable light, and I think his impact is here to stay,” Mr. Reschenthaler said. “He would be given at least one Nobel Peace Prize had he not been a Republican — I truly believe that.”
Tucked in at the end is this part about so called "Cancel Culture" and how it's all the fault of the Democratic Party:
This week, House Republicans took part in two key votes involving the actions of own members — and Mr. Reschenthaler said he voted to keep the party together.
On Wednesday, Republicans voted to keep Ms. Cheney in her current leadership role after her vote to impeach Mr. Trump. Mr. Reschenthaler, who is on the House GOP leadership committee, said he voted to keep her.
And:
On Thursday, Mr. Reschenthaler voted against a measure to strip Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., of her standing committee assignments as a result of comments she had made in the past. The House voted, 230-199 with 11 Republican members voting with Democrats, to remove her from her committee assignments.
Mr. Reschenthaler said he did not agree with Ms. Greene’s statements, which included racist and anti-Semitic remarks and called for violence against members of Congress. But he said he decried the move by Democrats as “cancel culture” and something that could spark Republicans to go after certain Democratic members in the future.
Yea, "cancel culture" among the Democrats.
What does this mean,
then?
In case you've forgotten, that's a picture of the pro-Trump forces who swarmed the Capitol in order to stop Congress from confirming Joe Biden's electoral college win. This was one month ago.
Looks like they wanted to cancel the results of the 2020 election, doesn't
it?
And then there was
this:
Even after a mob of Trump supporters stormed the Capitol and forced lawmakers to go into lockdown, 121 House Republicans voted to decertify the Arizona’s electors and 138 House Republicans voted to decertify Pennsylvania’s electors in an effort to overturn President-elect Biden’s victory.
Guy Reschenthaler is on both lists. He voted to decertify the electors from Arizona and Pennsylvania.
Looks like Guy Reschenthaler was looking to cancel the votes of millions of US
Citizens, doesn't it?
On the other hand, Guy won't hold accountable the woman (Rep Marjorie Taylor-Greene) who:
- questioned the attack on the Pentagon on 9/11
- wondered (in public!) whether there's a Jewish conspiracy to burn California forests from orbit
- called for the public execution of leading Democrats including Speaker Nancy Pelosi (how's that for "cancel culture"?)
But he will vote to cancel millions of votes from Pennsylvania and Arizona.
So what about this "cancel culture" Congressman?
