How The Natalie Harp Affair Should Guide Us

 

Jamelle Bouie has a smart take on Natalie Harp, the smart Ossoff attack line, the White House / MAGAt "hit dog hollers" reaction, and what the lesson is for Democrats going forward (hint: don't be afraid to be aggressive and down-and-dirty). This is a good explainer video to share.

It's A Wonderful Letter


Letter in today's New York Times:
To the Editor:

In her speech at the G.O.P. convention Monday night, Natalie Harp, a cancer survivor, made reference to the film “It’s a Wonderful Life,” comparing Donald Trump to George Bailey, the main character in the film, played by my father, Jimmy Stewart.

Given that this beloved American classic is about decency, compassion, sacrifice and a fight against corruption, our family considers Ms. Harp’s analogy to be the height of hypocrisy and dishonesty.

We believe the late Jimmy Stewart -- a WWII veteran, Air Force General and lifelong Republican -- would be proud of his daughter.
