God bless Mary Matalin. I adore her SO MUCH.
The former Republican strategist was on ‘The Week with George Stephanopoulos’ and was the lone voice of reason in a sea of liberal stupidity, which included Van Jones. You know, the guy who said that Trump’s victory was a “white-lash” against black people. Because all those states that voted for Obama TWICE, but then voted for Trump because they finally had enough of the Democrats screwing them over – nah, they’re really closet RAAAAAAACISTS.
Give me strength.
Mary Matalin pointed out the patently obvious problem that the Democrats have – that they’ve lost blue-collar America with all of their babbling about racism and climate change and social justice BS and they need to focus on the issues that really affect regular Americans. She directly criticized Van Jones’s comments and that’s when the trouble started –

Also – the other lady whose all “Wahhhhh – you were so MEEEEEAN to Van Jones, Mary! How dare you!” That’s Katrina vanden Heuvel and I soooo want to slap her across her smug, self-righteous face. At the risk of sounding like a broken record, that’s the kind of snobbish, elitist attitude that got Trump elected in the first place. Sounds like she hasn’t learned a single thing from all of this.
Ugh.
Regardless, everything Mary said is spot-on and right on the money. Having said all that, this expression is the one that speaks to all sane Americans right now –
I feel ya, Mary. I feel ya 100%.
