MSNBC’s Steve Schmidt: Michigan Protesters ‘Brown-Shirted Stormtroopers’
Breitbart ^ | 30 April 2020 | Pam Key

Posted on 04/30/2020 7:25:21 PM PDT by KC_Lion

MSNBC’s “The Beat,” Steve Schmidt, John McCain’s 2008 presidential campaign manager, compared the lockdown protestors in Michigan to the Nazi Party’s original wing.

..

Melber said, “You have Michigan state Senator Dayna Polehanki, ‘Directly above me, men with rifles yelling at us. Some of my colleagues who own bulletproof vests are wearing them. I have never appreciated our Sergeants-at-Arms more than today.’ Your view of this, Steve?”

Schmidt said, “This is appalling. Someone needs to explain to me what the difference is between those guys and a bunch of brown-shirted Stormtroopers in 1925 is. I’m very serious about this. This is about the Second Amendment. This isn’t about gun ownership. These are temples of democracy, these buildings, where we with test the premise each generation, whether we retain the capacity to govern ourselves. Free speech is important in this country. They are not protesters. When you show up in tactical gear carrying a tactical weapon an AR-15, an M-4, an AK-47, you’re there to intimidate. You’re assaulting the tenants of our system, which is a system that exists to preserve the rule of law, that is the oldest constitutional republic in the world. We should not think for a second, as we’re at the dawn of a new moment in history, that because extremism didn’t rise in a way that was able to take over the country in the past that it’s not still here and it still doesn’t pose a threat. Nobody should be comforted by those images whether you’re a Trump supporter, whether you’re a Biden supporter, whether you’re not going to vote at all. We don’t do that in this country. That is an appalling image, and it makes us look like a basket case as they are beamed out around the world to our allies and to our enemies.”

What the hell would he know anyway? Certainly very little first hand knowledge of stormtroopers.

He was born in 70, I was already back from my RVN tour with the USMC, he hitched his wagon to McCain, Schwarzenegger, and GW Bush
As well as Bill Bradley. All winners, right?

I doubt that anyone in Michigan was carrying an M4. He probably has difficulty distinguishing between one of those and a Brown Bess.

I have already spent more time on him than he desrves.

“Steve Schmidt, John McCain’s 2008 presidential campaign manager”

Steve Schitturd was the campaign manager for the campaign manager for Zero. His opinion is even more worthless than his credibility as a “Republican.”

Seriously, I wonder if SS isn’t on the payroll of a foreign government, perhaps the Russkies or the Chicoms? I mean, if you WERE on the payroll of a foreign government, what would you have done differently?

Well, if he’s on the Demonrat payroll, he’s already on the payroll of hostile foreign government and Soros.

Steve Schmidt...

Wasn't he the guy who undercut Sarah Palin at every turn?

In 2012, he said: I think the notion of Sarah Palin being president of the United States is something that frightens me, frankly.

Steve Schmidt is RINO to the core. A real Republican Progressive.
