Democrats Matteson & Trish: hypocrites on gun control

The two losing political candidates in last year's legislative elections -- Kate Matteson and Gina Trish -- attempted to hijack yesterday's rally on Newton Green for their own political ends.  The rally was held to raise some important issues, not play politics, but Matteson and Trish turned it into a predictable attack on their political opponents -- Assemblymen Hal Wirths and Parker Space. 

Republicans Wirths and Space believe in the Bill of Rights and have worked to protect the Second Amendment rights of New Jerseyeans whether it be for hunting, sport, or self-protection.  Democrats Matteson and Trish are trying to tie that record to a recent school shooting in Florida. 

Sure, it's a piece of political spin by Democrats Matteson and Trish -- and it is certainly at variance with what the two candidates said last year, when they were trying to convince voters that they were Pro-Gun.

Last month, we caught the Sussex County Democrat Committee wanting to use school children for a political protest against the Republicans who beat them at the polls last year.  Kate Matteson is the executive director of the Sussex County Democrat Committee.

It's politics, but isn't using children to advance a partisan political agenda going a bit too far?

This is why you can't trust Matteson and Trish.  They flip-flop.  They twist and turn.  They lie.  They are the worst kind of hypocrites.  And it is all about them running again in 2019.

Should Democrat legislator resign over conviction?

We've been waiting for the campaign of U.S. Senate candidate Bob Hugin to step up and fire back at the group of hypocritical Democrats who accuse him of "racism" because he sought the endorsement of a conservative Assemblyman who attended a Hank Williams Jr. concert and who was photographed standing near a Hank Williams Jr. band banner (which consists of Hank Williams Jr.'s face, some lyrics to a Hank Williams Jr. song, and the rebel flag).  The worst this Assemblyman could be accused of is poor taste.  Racism is a lot deeper than that. 

Of course, one would have to be a person of more than Twitter depth to actually understand that racism isn't about one's fashion accessories.  And as this is the Democrat Caucus of the New Jersey Legislature, you are not going to get much in the way of deep thinking.  This caucus has already done so much to infantilize political discourse.  

Instead of remaining silent, Hugin's camp could have reminded these Assembly Democrats that they have in their caucus, at least one member who has faced criminal charges and who has been convicted of a federal crime.   And maybe they should do something about it, before going after someone who has questionable taste, but who hasn't broken any laws.  Oh, but wait, the hypocrites will say... he has a Dukes of Hazard tattoo!

What a bunch of handjobs... they probably watched the show themselves (and perhaps salivated a little over the bodacious Daisy Duke). 

The Assembly Democrats need to clean up their own caucus, starting with this guy...
