Dems throw a tantrum after one of their own endorses Mike Lawler

Democrats spent Monday gnashing their teeth in between sips of their tear-stained coffee after Rep. Jared Golden, a retiring member of their caucus from Maine, endorsed Republican Rep. Mike Lawler’s re-election campaign in a stunning op-ed.

Arguing that the House “needs fewer members who treat the job as a stage and more who treat it as work,” Golden deemed Lawler a “true partner” before imploring voters to “find the members who pass laws with the other party, and keep them.”

If you listen closely, you can hear the echoes of the resulting howls even now.

“Mike Lawler is a partisan hack and Trump sycophant,” declared Hakeem Jeffries, the hapless House minority leader.

“In desperation, he is peddling an 11th hour endorsement from a retiring Congressmember who represents an out of town district more than 400 miles away . . . Mike Lawler can try to run from his extremist record. We will never let him hide.”
