Another day, another Democrat outted as a liar
We all know politicians lie. It’s what they do.
However, smart politicians know not to lie about things that are easily verifiable. If that’s not really an option, then you need to make sure your politics are in line with the politics of the news media. In other words, be a Democrat.
If you do that, then they won’t look any deeper than what you say.
But we also live in a world where there is an alternative media. As a result, you get people like RedState’s Jennifer Van Laar who isn’t interested in shielding Democrats.
Instead, she exposes them like she does here.
Democrat messaging in the 2024 election cycle is quite different from the 2020 messaging of Black Lives Matter, defunding the police, and reimagining justice. In 2020, the only use Democrats had for attorneys was in furtherance of their lawfare and weaponization aims, not actually putting away the bad guys.
But now that they're working to paint Donald Trump as a convicted felon and some type of career sexual abuser and fraudster, this year's Democrats claim they "Back the Blue" and Harris is playing up her prosecutor credentials, saying over and over again that she "took on perpetrators of all kinds: predators who abused women, fraudsters who ripped off consumers, cheaters who broke the rules for their own gain" and that "I know Donald Trump's type."
To hear Democrat California State Senate candidate Michael Kipp Mueller describe his career, he's virtually a clone of Kamala Harris - or, more exactly, a clone of the current fantasy iteration of the Democrat nominee. Like Harris', Mueller's claims don't hold up to scrutiny; we've found no evidence to support his claim of being a "former prosecutor."
According to a RedState investigation, Mueller was never employed by the U.S. Department of Justice or the Santa Clara County District Attorney's office, and we've found no evidence that he prosecuted fraudsters and sexual abusers. (But that, too, is on brand for this year's Democrat Party candidates: they have a very shaky relationship with the truth and make blatantly false claims about their resumés.)
What’s more, Mueller’s description of that period is different from what he said just four years ago.
And there’s absolutely no evidence he prosecuted any of the cases he’s alluded to prosecuting.
See, four years ago, as Van Laar notes, law enforcement was seen as bad by the left. This was right after George Floyd was killed during an arrest gone wrong and people in every city in the nation felt obligated to show out and set their communities on fire because that’s what rational people do.
Democrats leaned into this, siding with the rioters and basically giving them permission to keep doing what they were doing.
Now, though, the American people are fed up with lawlessness.
Rather than admit they were wrong four years ago, you’ve got Democrats like Mueller who simply pretend four years ago never happened and that they were law and order the whole time.
In a sane world, the mainstream media would cover this. They’d have at least tried to look at some of the cases he prosecuted, to talk to the people his prosecution may have helped or hurt. They’d look at what he claimed and figured out whether he was telling the truth or not.
Now, again, I know politicians lie, but they tend to lie about what they’ll do once they get into office. They shouldn’t lie about what they’ve done.
Yet they will do so and continue to do so.
What’s more, it won’t matter. Mueller is running for office in California. While the district he’s running for is currently held by a Republican who replaced another Republican, none of the people who might vote for Mueller actually care that he lied. They won’t turn on him now that we have evidence he did.
Those who oppose him do so because of his policies. They might take issue with him lying about his history, but they already opposed him.
What’s hilarious is that Trump says outlandish things, things most people aren’t going to take seriously in the first place, and the fact-checkers are out in droves to tell everyone that no, he didn’t physically put the first man on the moon or something, but they’re nowhere to be heard on stuff like this.
