A little encouragement

Mona Charen, the conservative columnist [...] faced audible boos and jeers from the crowd at CPAC on Saturday when she criticized Trump and Moore, but she says she’s also seen an outpouring of support since speaking up about the way GOP leaders have treated sexual misconduct among prominent candidates.

“There are fewer and fewer people who are speaking up. Even I was getting depressed and demoralized,” she said Monday morning on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” “But since I said what I did, there’s been such an outpouring of support that I feel more than ever that people who are — who adhere to basic principles of dignity and integrity and belief that we should stand up for honesty, there are a lot of them out there, and they just need a little encouragement, I think.”

That outpouring of support wouldn't be from liberals, would it? Conservatives can see how viciously their compatriots get attacked when they speak out against the president, the GOP fascists, and their financial backers. I doubt too many of them are willing to take the hit. They saw what happened to Mona, too.

After she left the CPAC stage, she was approached by security guard and escorted out of the venue, Charen told “Morning Joe.” However, she said that on her way out, she did see some CPAC attendees give her “the thumbs up.”

I'm skeptical. I think they were giving the security guards the thumbs up.

“There’s a tone of sort of sophomoric clownishness that’s creeped into conservatism now,” she said. “There’s this mood of trolling the opposition, that if you can create liberal tears, then anything goes.”

You got it, Mona. Time to change parties. Or make a new one.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
