Jeanne Shaheen: Leads with the Lie

Clinton ShaheenThere is zero evidence that Russia hacked the “presidential election” yet New Hampshire Senator Jeanne Shaheen leads her New York Times editorial with, “The Kremlin hacked our presidential election.”

It is difficult to take much she says seriously most days, but opening with an unsubstantiated talking point makes the rest of her remarks difficult to accept, which is sad. Russian hacking and cyber war, in general, is a real thing worthy of some attention.

Jeanne Shaheen isn’t serious about that or anything else unless it advances the party line and partisan politics. 

If she were serious about hate, she’d denounce Chairman Buckley. If she were serious about violence, she’d denounce Antifa. If she cared about women, she’d reject hate and poor treatment spewed at female Republicans. If she cared about gays she’d defend them from attacks regardless of their ideology. And if she cared about children she’d return the millions of dollars given to her campaign by NARAL.

She doesn’t care about any of that, so we’ve no reason to believe she cares about Russians and cyber war except where it may have revealed how the Democrat party tried to fix the primaries for her candidate of choice Hillary Clinton.

That, of course, is also unsubstantiated. Seth Rich most likely perpetrated the DNC leaks but we can’t ask him because he’s dead. Murdered.

Jeanne Shaheen isn’t interested in that either. And no, she’s not interested in New Hampshire either, except when required (about every six years) to retain her position as a Democrat party ambassador the granite state, and only then as a conduit to return the tax money she should have been working to keep here in the first place.

Of course, if she did that, she might not have time to peddle partisan narratives in the NeeYorkk Times.
