A couple of weeks ago, while “reporting” on John Kline’s town meeting – in which the congressman spent two hours answering unscreened questions from an audience that was not in any way vetted for friendliness – Jeff Fecke, “reporter” for the Minnesota Monitor (a “progressive” group blog funded by a group of deep-pocketed Washington liberals), editorialized…:
The Kline camp went into this meeting terrified of…something. I’m not sure what.
That’s right; after a career that’s taken him to USMC Officer Candidate School, flying choppers in Vietnam, a stint carrying the nuclear “football”, and beating an entrenched incumbent on his own turf, Ace Reporter Jeff Fecke thought Rep. John Kline (Colonel, USMC, Retired) was “terrified” of questions from a bunch of doughy, patchouli-reeking BDS victims.
So what did MinnMon have to say about this sign of abject terror – Mike Ciresi’s four-minute bump-and-flee with reporters as he announced his candidacy?
Two hours versus four minutes. What’s he afraid of?????
Oh – they said nothing. Doyyy.
