A former Republican congresswoman is blasting a recent speech from former President Donald Trump, calling it "humiliating" and referring to the event as a "QAnon Fest."
Barbara Comstock, who served as a GOP representative from Virginia from 2015 to 2019, spoke Sunday evening on CNN following the former president's speech. The event, which took place in Youngstown, Ohio, was a rally in support of Senate candidate J.D. Vance, someone who Trump has boosted heavily in recent months.
The speech was largely full of most of the same rhetoric that has been heard from Trump since he left office, and Comstock told CNN anchor Jim Acosta that the event was a "contribution to [Democratic challenger] Tim Ryan." She went on to say that Trump made "J.D. Vance look like a mouse, not a man."
"It was humiliating," Comstock added. "It was a QAnon fest, it was playing this strange QAnon music, they were all sort of, you know, bowing - I think Marjorie Greene was there talking about the one true leader." The event featured a number of bizarre outings, such as one moment when the rally attendees raised their hands to the former president in an apparent show of loyalty.

He will get more people killed and those amongst the trumpnutters who snap will be in prison.

We should, as the Democratic Party, let them drone on and on, w/ the same ol' drivel, the same crap, nothing new, and pound them w/ the things that people truly are really interested in. Not grievances that are outdated, and not even valid grievances either.

We have had them for decades but will there an increase in incidents, and for how long will they last.

(22,112 posts)be surprised, I don't think any of us would be. If they lash out, they hurt themselves terribly, as they did on 1/6/21 (and this memory is still fresh on our minds, being that the one person that caused them to lash out is still on the loose, still not charged, still free to mouth off his crap.
