The MSM’s name for anyone right of them.
It’s a fabrication of the left and we shouldn’t give it credibility by either accepting it for ourselves or responding as if they were right about their claim
I wish that were true, but some people on our side thought it was a swell idea to adopt that title and run with it.
My take is that they thought a message would be sent that the participants would be seen as die-hard Conservatives. What I think it came to mean, or be used by the opposition to mean, was that these folks were more like the KKK, than normal Conservatives.
The term simply lent itself to abuse by the Left, and they were thrilled to approach it from that standpoint.
I tried to warn folks, but I’ve never had one person say to me that they hadn’t thought of that and that what I was conveying was reasoned.
Sadly...
Now I’ve been proven right.
This was such a no-brainer, because the Left has always tried to denigrate Conservatives as if KKK or worse.
