• Just wait till they see his plans to turn the Ellipse into a pitch and putt.
• The season of the leaked message is upon us. First up was Jay Jones, the Democrats’ candidate for attorney general in Virginia, who was caught telling a colleague that he’d like his colleagues to die, that he hoped to “piss on their graves,” and that he hoped that the children of Republican politicians in the state might need to die to usher in political change. (NR’s Audrey Fahlberg broke the story.) Next were the “young” Republicans — some of them state representatives — whose group chat, which involved praise for Hitler, the use of grotesque terms to describe African Americans, and jokes about gassing Jews, was released to Politico by a rival. And, finally, there was Graham Platner, a Democrat in Maine who wishes to become a senator in that state but was caught describing himself as a communist, calling all rural white people “racist” and “stupid,” and suggesting that all cops are “bastards.” In response to these mistakes, both parties condemned and disavowed their authors. Just kidding. Jay Jones is still running for attorney general. JD Vance defended the GOPers as rambunctious kids. And Graham Platner insisted that his words were mere childish indiscretions. Stay tuned for the consequences of this indifference.
