Hot air and deplorables
Yesterday, Republican Rep. Chris Millis introduced a measure to begin impeachment proceedings against Secretary of State Elaine Marshall. The House Rules Committee voted to begin an investigation into allegations that Marshall illegally commissioned notaries of public who are not citizens. It’s nothing more than political bluster that was debunked during her re-election campaign last year. No state or federal law enforcement agency has suggested any wrong-doing on Marshall’s part.
Still, some people believe where there’s smoke there’s fire. But this time, there’s not even smoke. There’s just the hot air Millis is blowing out his ass. The Republicans on the Rules Committee but be wise to get their heads out of there.
So who is Chris Millis? We got a glimpse yesterday. While he was introducing his impeachment charges, a twitter account belonging to a group he leads called NC Conservatives PAC (@NCCPAC) was cheering him on and insulting other legislators. When House Minority Leader Darren Jackson was arguing against the resolution, the group tweeted, “Hey NC House Democrat Caucus…Maybe it’s time for a more Butch leader than @DarrenJNC. Clearly he’s failed. @priceyharrison perhaps?”
It got worse. When Republican Senate staffer Brent Woodcox rebuffed the tweeter, @NCCPAC responded, “Oh please girl. @DarrenJNC sounds like a faggy version of Truman Capote. You know it’s true. Get over yourself.” And finally, the twitter account attacked Woodcox for being overweight, calling him a “a huge fatass apologetic cuck pussy” and telling him to update his profile picture.
