Steve Schmidt: Grassley, Hatch Look Like Commanders from 'Handmaid's Tale'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 09/27/2018 2:38:23 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Guess we shouldn't be surprised, coming from ex-Republican Steve Schmidt, who now calls the Democrats "the only party left in America that stands for what is right and decent and remains fidelitous to our Republic, objective truth, the rule of law and our Allies."

Appearing this afternoon on MSNBC's Deadline: White House program hosted by Nicolle Wallace -- his sidekick on the McCain presidential campaign -- Steve Schmidt broke out the tired liberal claim that Republicans somehow resemble the villains of 'The Handmaid's Tale.' The show has been described as portraying "a dystopian future . . . wherein a totalitarian society subjects fertile women, called 'Handmaids,' into child-bearing servitude."

Schmidt, forecasting the absolute worst for Republicans at tomorrow's Senate Judiciary committee hearing, said:

"It's a political disaster, starting with 83-year old Chuck Grassley, Orrin Hatch. They literally, put two stars on their sleeves, it looks like the cast from 'The Handmaid's Tale.' It looks like the Commanders meeting."

Fill in the blank: Steve Schmidt is the biggest ---- in politics.

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

PS: later in the evening, Chris Matthews mocked the older Republicans on the Judiciary committee, like Hatch, as residing in "assisted living" and "having a hard time getting up and down the stairs." Video of that also in linked item.

This is the guy the late McCain hired to run his presidential campaign.

No wonder he lost to Obama.

I’ll grant the Republicans make Elmer Fudd look good.

But the Democrats are even worse.

Trashing Kavanaugh to protect the slaughter of unborn babies says a lot more about the Democrats than it does about Kavanaugh.

Steve Schmidt is a big reason John McCain never had a chance in 2008.

These people are simply DELUSIONAL.

They are rubber room, padded walls, straight-jacket wearing, slobbering and drooling DELUSIONAL

You can’t argue with them because they’ve had a mental break and no longer perceive reality as it is.

It would be funny if it were not so sad and isn’t sad because they people are a danger to themselves and others.

They have nothing over Nigerian princes.

But Nigerian princes only want your money whereas the Democrats want to deprive Kavanaugh of his life.

I don’t know any heterosexual men who watch that show, do you?

If America was really like that show, women wouldn’t be seen, heard from
or talked about.

Which shows how little liberals understand conservatives.

Is that anything like the “assisted living” Old Man Joe Kennedy got after he had that stroke?

I’m sure all the young women who ever visited the Hyannis compound breathed a sigh of relief when the Old Man was immobilized by that stroke, and couldn’t “visit” female houseguests in the middle of the night anymore.

You’re under the false impression that anyone is watching?

What is really amazing about this is that Nicolle Wallace is close to the Bush family and most likely knows Ashley Kavanaugh personally from her days in the White House.

I have never before in my life seen such calculated malice so easily on display. It is truly evil.

But Chris the tinkler was perfectly fine with gimpy Hildabeast being President. Not like the position is physically demanding, or anything...nawww

“wherein a totalitarian society subjects fertile women, called ‘Handmaids,’ into child-bearing servitude.” And in the story this is because most women can no longer bear children. Isn’t that a green, lefties’ wet dream? Total control of the reproductive rights of the world which in turn is total control of everything!

Winless Steve Schmidt is the GOP’s answer to Bob Schrum.

If the post-Menopausal ex-hippie Hillary supporters aren’t watching where are they getting the patterns to make those dresses to wear to every imaginable kind of protest?
