The campaign of neo-fascist demagogue Donald "Rump" Trump has announced the hiring of David Bossie, the noted ratf*cker and force behind the ironically-named Citizens United group, as its deputy campaign manager. A hard-line right-winger, Bossie's reputation was founded on his scurrilous pursuit of the Clintons for the past 20 years, smearing them with deceptive accusations and innuendo. He was fired from his staff position with the House of Representatives (by Newt "Poot" Gingrich's direction, no less) for leaking edited and misleading investigative material in an attempt to smear President Clinton. With Citizens United (a front organization for wealthy right-wing plutocrats), he was behind Citizens United v. FEC, which opened the floodgates to dark, corporate money in political campaigns.
The Clinton campaign's response, delivered by John Podesta, was swift and accurate:
“David Bossie is so craven and maniacal that in the heyday of the overreaching, Gingrich-era Congress, the top Whitewater conspiracy theorist in the House had to fire him for doctoring evidence. He has devoted his career ever since to trying to tear down Hillary Clinton. For months now, Citizens United has been acting as an arm of the Trump campaign, and this hiring of Bossie now makes it official. This is just the latest sign that Donald Trump has put the most extreme elements of the right-wing fringe in the driver’s seat of his campaign.”If anything confirms Rump's extremism and desperation, even given the hiring of Steve Bannon, it's the hiring of this despicable, obsessed hack.
