Have seen him on stations other than Fox. Said things we all agree with about rTump. So I bought his book! Read a few chapters and sent it back. He's not a nice person. If I'd known about his Sandy Hook stance, I'd never even contemplate buying that bad book. Thanks for informing me. These never trumpers aren't really our friends.

4. You mean one of the most awesomest people on Twitter ever, ever? That Rick Wilson?

Yeah, I'll never understand how people just discarded the very real, tangible, irreversible harm these people did just because he doesn't like the outgoing dickhead.

Same people always praising this human skid mark seem to always find negative things to say about AOC as well.

But that's none of my business.

Can't wait to hear posters twist themselves into knots defending that garbage. "He's grown!" "It's been seven years!" He can turn out political ads like nobody's business but Democrats should never forget who he really is.

7. He didn't. Someone may be mixing up Rick Wilson with Alex Jones of Infowars.....

As a matter of fact the local United Way agency DID hire Gaffney, Bennett and Associates to handle public relations.

Sad that in a quest to continually discredit Rick Wilson he's being accused of saying what he never said. It dishonors the memory of those who were murdered in Newtown six years ago.

9. But accusing them of profiting off their dead children was honorable?

No. There's no quest to discredit Rick Wilson. He did a good enough job of that himself.

10. The premise of the tweet in the OP is false, and he didn't accused the families of those murdered...

....of "profiting off their dead children".

The only entity that Wilson criticized is the "oh so diligent media", which we see here dozens of times a day.

If Rick Wilson is such a horrible person, surely the case can be made without creating truth or distorting it. That only detracts from any message that may be presented.
