Tara Setmayer: Ocasio-Cortez Is the New Target for Trump’s Fear Mongering

RUSH EXCERPT:

SETMAYER: “It just reconfirmed the fact that the Republican Party has completely bent its knee in a corrosive way to Donald Trump’s as someone who’s been to probably, I don’t know, over a dozen cpacs over my political career, and it was something I used to look forward to as a conservative because it was never a circus like this. It’s really sunken to a place of embarrassment. Watching Republicans clap like seals to that lunacy of a speech yesterday by the president of the United States is just disheartening in a lot of ways. This is where the party is going. You know, the fact that — but it was also very indicative of where President Trump is going and how he plans to run in 2020. It was very revealing. So for those who are going to run against Donald Trump, study that and look at it. What he did inside of all of those one-liners and trying to normalize a lot of the fact that he’s gone against so many norms and institutions and constitutional ideals and decency, he also injected some of the pieces of I will protect you and I’m the only one. That’s what got him elected in the first place, fear mongering. Ocasio-cortez represents this new Progressive target he’s going to target. It’s so muddied with all these other horrible things that, no, we don’t need him to protect us. We need someone else that actually respects the Constitution and the office of the presidency.”
