Rep doesn’t mean Republican, it means Representative.

I wonder how many people actually do get confused and think it means "Republican", I suspect it's a lot.

Check the screencaps in posts 9, 10 and 11. Google is “fixing” it.

Saw it, isn’t Reuters grand?
And PMSNBC didn’t care enough to fix it on their end upon receipt.

They know there are plenty of Americans who don’t follow politics but might be interested in this anyway, so they figure they won’t know the difference if they put Republican instead of Democrat.

Honestly, they wish he was. Then they could mock the Republicans as being “the party of family values” but failing to live up to them.

This was a media favorite during the Gary Condit escapade. They would say “Rep. Condit” and never mention his party. I went through the Philly Inquirer one day and found 43 references to various politicians. Every single one said “Dem,NJ” or “Rep,Pa” except for Condit.

Must have looked at “the wiener” through a magnifying glass and thought they were seeing a conservative...

“Democrat Anthony Weiner is married and sent private pictures to a female fan that wasn’t his wife.”

“uhhhh....I hate to have to be the one to tell you this, but...
“Rep.” in this case, does not mean “republican, it means “representative”.”

Yes, you and I know this. But, to the dumbed-down kool-aid drinkers, it served the purposes of the bammy media whores.

named a republican in several outlets - disinformation is a top modus operandi of the Socialists...

They correct it later - but half the dumb as*es in the country will believe it - and that's the goal.
