Surprise. The "secret" turned out to be nothing. [View all]

Last edited Tue Oct 29, 2024, 10:15 PM - Edit history (3)

It was like watching a couple of seven-year-olds: "We've got a secret! Na na na na na na na!"

If it was a secret, they wouldn't have been talking about it. Just another distraction.

“It’s nothing scandalous, but we’re having a ball with this. The media, their heads are exploding. ‘What is the secret?’” Johnson told a crowd of about 90 people on Monday at a rally to support GOP congressional candidate Ryan Mackenzie, after a person in the crowd asked about the comment. “It’s this thing we have about — it’s a get-out-the-vote. It’s one of our tactics on get-out-the-vote,” Johnson said.

Edit: it's been pointed out repeatedly that I shouldn't believe anything Johnson says. I don't -- I didn't believe there was ever a secret in the first place. It seemed like an obvious distraction as I have noted on the topic in this and other threads the past couple of days. His ham-handed response only makes it more obvious.

I do find it hilarious, however, that those chastising me for believing Johnson seem to have accepted without question that there was a secret in the first place, simply because he and Trump said so.

Kind of selective, isn't that?
