“I think what we are seeing [now] is an extension of the Tea Party movement,” the former staffer told Newsweek.
Higgins also pushed back on the notion that Democrats and the liberal left engage in their own echo chambers.
“Critics would say that the liberal echo chamber is CNN, MSNBC and mainstream media,” he said. "I would say in response to that, that quite frankly it’s b*******. “At the RNC all we had to do was repeat talking points and it would go on Fox News as is. Democrats don’t do that, the DNC [Democratic National Committee] doesn’t do it.”
He added: “Also, I think an important thing about what differentiates the left and right and the media—the left has no similar echo chamber as evidenced by the lack of a left-wing freedom caucus.”
Even the ex-Republican staffer doesn’t pull a “both sides” because he knows firsthand that it’s not true.
B-but I thought both sides are equally bad? Please dude let me reasonably debate this one with you in the free market of ideas please just this once bro
Look at you, man. You’re shaking from whataboutism withdrawal. I thought we talked about this, you were going to start honestly engaging with people and putting your team aside; what happened?
It’s insane how stupid they are. They honestly think they’re so smart and good at lying that no one can figure it out without being told.
They’re not stupid. It works. It doesn’t matter if some people know they’re lying, because some people willingly believe a lie.
Gee, ya don’t say??
Also, the sky is blue
Yeah, you can turn on Fox for like 5 minutes and realize it from the crazy shit they say.
“GOP intentionally spread lies” A real “oh! … maigod” shocker.
“Trump has denied all allegations against him and has pleaded guilty in all three indictments, including two criminal cases.”
I don’t think that says what they think it says.
Former republican staffer is a worthless traitor POS and should immediately choke on a fat syphilitic dick.
Nah. I’m glad they’re opening to gates so everyone can see the crap the GOP does.
The truth always comes out at some point.
