Heather Cox Richardson is a historian and academic who teaches at Boston College. In a recent video made for her subscribers, she claimed that Republicans use a 'propaganda technique' of accusing other people of what they themselves are doing.
There are MOUNTAINS of evidence that show this is actually, exactly what the left does, but it gets even worse. She goes on to suggest that this makes Republicans just like the Nazis because that's where she claims this tactic comes from.
Now before you dismiss this woman as the idiot she clearly is, you should know that she holds a tremendous amount of influence on the left. Her Substack site has hundreds of thousands of subscribers and she is reported to earn almost a million dollars a year from that alone.
It's just amazing that she can say these stupid and untruthful things with a straight face:
"The Republicans have perfected a technique for a long time now which really became obvious in the 2000 presidential election, but it's an old propaganda technique in which you accuse your opponent of what you yourself are doing.
And we tend to identify that in modern politics with Karl Rove, who's a Republican operative, but in fact, it's an old propaganda technique that is often identified with Nazi Germany.
And the idea behind it is that if you accuse your opponent of what you are doing, it's very difficult then for people to understand when the opponent comes back and says, well wait a minute, you're doing it too.
And what that does is create confusion so that people tend to throw out both sides of the equation and say, well they're both corrupt."
Watch this and marvel at the lies:
💥NEW: “Historian” Heather Cox Richardson *actually* claims Republicans going after fraud is Nazi technique🤦‍♂️

Another thought that the knuckledragging Neanderthal DemonRATS stole from Republics. The bass tards on the left are trying to pass themselves off as Trick or Treat costumed Republicans. The bass tards never had an original thought in their pitiful lives of gazing at and playing with their genitals.
Heather Cocks Richardson, huh? A real nut case.
Exactly the revisionist historian I expected to see when I opened the link……
The country is no longer center right.
Was she talking to a mirror?
Projecting into a mirror!...................
I would disagree only because leftism’s repeated failures need to be called out more. There is a siren call attraction to and it will pop up at the slightest hiccup on our end. It’s our job to continue talking when governing gets boring.
Based on her premise: Heil Heather.
So ironic (and thus so funny) that this liberal ‘Historian’ claims “Republicans accuse other People of what they are doing, just like the Nazis” when in fact, it is liberals who do this all the time - and this story is exhibit A of them testifying against themselves!
Historian and academic — which means she doesn’t have the brains or integrity God gave a pissant. As others have said, she is projecting, as that is exactly what Democrats/Leftists have done for decades.
