Ex-Rep Todd Akin (R-asshole) thinks Trump is "refreshing"

Former Rep. Todd Akin (R-MO), whose U.S. Senate bid was derailed for his “legitimate rape” comments, told Morning Consult that the uncompromising rhetoric of Donald Trump is “refreshing.”

Said Akin: “It’s because you’ve got an incredibly one-sided Democratic national media, and Republicans are scared to death of them. Look at my race. I got hammered, really, because I’m pro-life. That’s the bottom line of it.”

1. Not that he was "pro-life", but he was an idiot

And I compliment the voters of Missouri for their common sense in getting rid of this disgrace - "legitimate rape" - what an asswipe

I wouldn't call it an agenda to turn on cameras and letting Trump do his thing 24/7.
The message is 100% Trump and he's got all the free air time in the world.

Aiken, enjoy your deep whiff of 'refreshing', kinda has the stink of failure all over it.

permavictim. Nothing bad that happens is ever their fault yet everything good is all them.

Todd Akin is the poster boy for this common RW delusion.
