The Washington Post's Right Turn ^ | June 30, 2015 | Jennifer Rubin, Queen of the CINOs

In 2012, then-Rep. Todd Akin (R-Mo.) took a winnable Senate race and turned it into a debacle for the whole party. His comments on rape were front and center at the Democratic National Convention. One news cycle after another was devoted to his ignorant remarks. He lived up to the cartoon portrait of a clueless misogynist and made the party once again seem like the party of rich, old white guys who cannot relate to modern America.

I’m taking lessons from Ted Cruz and Don Trump. I’m not backing down in the face of opposition, without a damn good reason. Get used to it.

Megyn Kelly told Ted Cruz that Jennifer is a conservative. So it must be true!

Jennifer Rubin is a disgusting, deliberate lair. She is an anti-Christian bigot.

"And who is Jennifer Rubin?????"

She is a writer for the Washington Post who claims she is a Republican and writes articles that read like they came from the DNC.
