In reply to the discussion: GOP furious after Newsom gives them taste of their own medicine [View all]
DFW
(59,788 posts)7. Darrell Issa should have used English instead of Republicanese
If he had complained about a Democratic seat, maybe someone would have listened. But he complained about a “Democrat seat” and only native speakers of Republicanese would have understood exactly what he was whining about.
Maybe Newsom should remind Issa that he was invoking the “Garland rule,” initiated by his Republican pal, Moscow Mitch, some ten years ago.
