The NRCC (National Republican Congressional Committee) is playing with social media today. Now comes Vine. You remember Vine? It was going to get modern Mitt elected in 2012.
So Republicans thought it would be a super idea to post this little sound bite of Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) looking woozy and ragey at the same time, accusing President Obama of never taking responsibility for anything.
Watch here:
Speaker Boehner: When will President Obama take responsibility for something?
We hope he didn’t pop a vein, poor thing. Politics isn’t an easy business. Speaker Boehner is very upset that he can’t get his lawsuit to take off and after finding himself figuratively standing next to Sarah Palin, who then attacked him as being impotent, he’s got to be a bit embarrassed. This is naturally all Obama’s fault, for if Obama hadn’t won two elections, Boehner wouldn’t be trying to appease a foaming tea party base.
The full video is from Boehner’s office from his weekly press conference held on Thursdays, where the Speaker often stands improbably in front of a press wall with “JOBS” pasted all over it as if somehow that will make the Keystone Pipeline a jobs bill.
Indeed. Projection is a terrible thing to waste. Luckily, the Speaker has enough of it to maintain a steady stream of denial over his party’s vow to obstruct this President and refusal to do their jobs for going on 6 years now. And they criticize unions for being lazy.
So this is one way to sell a baseless lawsuit and hysterical, bitter demands for the President to be impeached over things that the Republican President actually did. For real.
But sometimes I wonder if Republicans really get social media; they clearly needed an empty chair for this whole ragey white man redux to work properly.
Anyway, I think you just saw the GOP NRCC’s 2014 strategy. They’re going to be pointing their fingers and wailing, “Barack did it, Mommy!” But on Vine, so it will be cool. Really, really cool. If they learned one lesson in 2012, it’s that people believe anything that’s on social media and this is why Mitt didn’t win. It had nothing to do with their policies or southern strategy or war against women.
Vine! ‘Cuz rage looks better in short, ready-to-be-mocked clips.
