What kind of political party has to lie to create heroes? Yes, this is a hit piece.

Safe and Effective with Jeff Melody

On November 18, 1978 a political staffer joined with others (including journalists) on a flight to investigate a cult in a third world country. They thought they could fix a situation. The cult leader, realizing that the secret would be exposed, talked 900 members into consuming poison shortly afterwards. That delegation was ambushed when it tried to return to the United States. Today, that staffer is a member of Congress. Jackie Speier (D-CA) is a hero to Marxists in America.

Fast forward to 2021, when journalists and Marxists heap praise on her resilience and strength because Jackie recovered after being shot 5 times. No mention of the stupidity of the plan in the first place--remember only the State's mechanisms are responsible for bad outcomes. People don't make dangerous decisions, the State makes bad things happen to innocent people is their mantra.

Compare the position of those heaping praise for Speier against the reaction to the random assassination of a police officer by a serial criminal. "Well, he should have known people would try to kill him when he took the job."

That's Leftist wisdom for you...
