I’m not really familiar with Canadian politics. It seems odd though that one of my favorite conservative politican would be making a statement of support for a Canadian politican. So i looked her up. This is what her wikipedia page says about her.
So my question is why is Steve King risk any of his political capital on this particular foreign politician? I just don’t get it. Does he usually weigh in on Canadian elections, or is this a special case for him?
Edit: Guys. Lets not call people names in this thread. Don’t use personal attacks, please.
Emphasizing that I am staying far away from accusing/namecalling anyone, let me ask you this - what political capital is King risking by endorsing this woman? There are those who will perceive this as just another example of the left unfairly slandering, smearing, and besmirching individuals who see the worth in putting their loyalty to country above all else, and rally in support.
I see it as quite the opposite of risking political capital.
“Goldy isn’t a racist, she just loves her country! These damned libs and their mob mentality Fifth State free cheese eatin’ politically correct communists will smear any decent patriot in a similar way. King’s just expressing his support for her national pride, and his contempt for those who see it as racist. We need to vote for candidates like Goldy and King before patriotism is outlawed and the country is overrun by foreign interests!”
Giving King benefit of the doubt, and lets say he doesn’t know about her podcast debut. Most likely he is just endorsing someone who holds similar political views to himself. A West is best, low immigration, Christian worldview.
He has previously also endorsed Frances Marine Le Pen.
Even weirder is she’s not even considered a serious candidate with a zero chance of a respectable showing. So he’s not only endorsing a foreign politician but an incredibly obscure one at that and must really believe in what she’s selling
Or the percentage of his base back in America that really believe in what she’s selling in Canada might be inspired to come out and support him at home if he expresses agreement with her words.
That’s some pretty strong accusations. She’s a journalist and has a cazillion videos on Youtube. Pick a few that back up your strong conclusion? If she’s this hate filled, there’ll be plenty and this should be easy for you?
He’s just illustrating the fact that there are no Real Conservatives ™ left. They’ve all gone into exile.
Except for Donald. And he will lead the exiled out of the wilderness like a great, bigly-fingered lumberjack parting the evil woods of liberalism with large, expansive swings of his mighty axe.
All the while smelling of bald eagle and apple pie.
