Democrats with Thin Skin and Glass Jaws

"She is claiming racism despite her confronter not saying anything racist. And she doesn’t like complaints over her political positions. In her world, her politics are off limits, but Trump’s politics are open game for attack, physical and verbal."

 Brian C. Joondeph   "A “glass jaw” is a boxing term referring to a boxer who could be knocked out with one good punch to their jaw. It can also refer to a public figure who wilts under the discomfort of public scrutiny.

"Democrats are great at dishing it out but have very thin skin when anything is dished out on them. And a glass jaw when anyone punches back.

"The latest example is Democrat Rep. Maxine Waters."

. . ."She is recommending starting a riot and violently attacking government officials. Weren’t we told that constituted an “insurrection”? Or does insurrection only apply to Trump supporters? It seems that way.

"CNN defends Waters by saying, “Waters, however, did not call for physical harm to the officials or harassment against Trump’s supporters.” Is that so?

"A bunch of MAGA hat wearers should go to a restaurant in Berkeley, San Francisco, Seattle, or Brooklyn and “create a crowd” and “push back” on those they don’t like and see what happens. There may be fists, knives, and guns, not high fives and back-slaps.

"What if Maxine’s words were turned against her? Would she acknowledge that “Dissent is the highest form of patriotism”, a quote attributed to Thomas Jefferson? Or would she cry foul? Dissent and harassment toward thee but not at me.

"When someone followed her 2018 advice to “push back”, she whined,

As a member of Congress, when people, you know, who evidently had a racist attitude, and recently one of them even confronted me in a restaurant. And they don't say racist things, but what they say is they don't like something I said, they don't like a position that I took, but you know that, you know, if you were not black, you would not be approached that way.

. . ." Rep. Waters didn’t take to the airways when U.S. Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh was harassed at a D.C. steakhouse. Or the same for Sen. Ted Cruz. The White House went so far as to condone such attacks.

"Were these attacks racist? If the justices were black and Democrat would they be condoned? Will CNN ask Rep. Waters?" . . .
