Obviously there aren’t any actual Republicans in that district which means the only candidates they could dredge up would be Democrats or maybe an independent. They should have been cultivating some brave souls there years ago, and you do that in tough districts by going in and speaking to the residents one on one. Yeah, lots of footwork.
Now that the Republicans have been smeared as “nazi” they think they can endorse or back an independent and that person not be smeared by association with the party of the nazi? Good luck with that.
NYT did its part by making sure they could get Jones and Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who the story notes was pardoned by Trump, both described as “far-right” by an ADL guy. There’s your guilt by association right there. Sheriff Joe, who has Hispanic grandchildren, MUST be a racist and a nazi because the ADL thinks he’s the same as Arthur Jones. Fine “reporting” work, NYT.
