Dem Senator Threatens: Pruitt-EPA Confirmation Hearings Will Have ‘Razor-blade Sharp Edges’
Legal Insurrection ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 12/08/2016 1:56:58 PM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

My, my: such a violent metaphor. Aren’t the Dems the peace ‘n love party? On MSNBC today, regarding the nomination of Scott Pruitt as EPA Administrator, Dem Sen. Ed Markey of Massachusetts threatened “a confirmation hearing that has razor-blade sharp edges.”

To which guest-host Peter Alexander stunningly responded: “as the Sierra Club told me last night, they said this is sort of like putting an arsonist in charge of fighting fires.”

Note: Alexander wasn’t merely reporting the Sierra Club’s statement. With his preface—”as the Sierra Club told me”—Alexander seemed to be adopting the slanderous simile as his own.

What does it signify when a Dem senator resorts to this kind of violent rhetoric?

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

Dem Sen. Markey needs to sit down and stfu. The democrats have no say on the Hill now. They just need to follow along like little lap dogs should.

If they were some how able to stop him I would put up someone even more conservative and harsh on the EPA/climate Change. If they stopped THAT person I would kill the agency all together (alone with all of its regulations).

This isn’t a grudge match, actually. This is about sanity.

oh, I feel triggered by this reference to razors, used by depressed people for the activity known as “cutting”.

Where do I go to get my little feelings assuaged. Is there a safe room where I can protect myself from this mean man?

I think it is finally settling in that they have lost...BIG!!!

No House of Representatives; No Senate; No White House, No FBI; CIA; IRS...they lost it all...

Now they sit there and all they can feel is hatred and anger, not at who their party ran as their candidate but Republicans because We the People Of America showed them all who is really the Boss...
