Jennifer Rubin, of the WaPo and MSNBC, calls on media to stop treating Republicans as ‘normal’
American Thinker ^ | 14 Nov, 2021 | Thomas Lifson

If anyone has sacrificed the status of “normal,” it is Jennifer Rubin, not the Republican party.

In a very crowded field, Jennifer Rubin stands out as possibly the most extreme case of Trump Derangement Syndrome among the former conservatives driven mad (in my opinion) by Donald Trump’s presidency. Her hatred of Trump and the party that now is dominated by him and his supporters is so extreme that she wants the media to stop treating it as a legitimate representative of the roughly half the populace that votes for it.

Yesterday on MSNBC, she called for new “rules” that would require the media to essentially treat Republicans as pariahs. The video excerpt below is 3 minutes long and seems longer due to her tone of voice and demeanor. If you find her intolerable, skip ahead to the last 30 seconds.

(twitter video at link)

Fred T of The Right Scoop nails it when he writes, “The new rule is ‘brag about it and act like it’s ethical.’”

Rubin’s decline has been notable for years now. A years and a half ago, Andrea Widburg wrote an essay on Rubin’s “death wish for Republicans” lamenting her transformation:

Once upon a time, Jennifer Rubin was an intelligent woman. Things started to go downhill when she went to work for the Washington Post, but what really flipped the switch in her brain was seeing Donald Trump become president. Not only did she lose perspective, but she also lost intelligence, self-restraint, and decency.

There is nothing “conservative” about Jennifer Rubin yet she is always touted as the Post “house conservative”. She is an incessant warmonger, which due to bonehead Bush, is tagged as a trait of “conservatives” - not this one, thank you. Other than that, she is known for her constant hysterics attacking real conservatives and anyone who stands for the MAGA agenda.

She actually thinks she has moral superiority.

Just like the Bolsheviks on the Soviet Central Committee, right before they murdered the Czar and his family.

How about no longer treating journalists as “normal”?

ROTFL! Thats over half of America's voting population at this point, who this cow, Jennifer Rubin, is attempting to stigmatize.

The fact that Republican Trump supporters now are in the majority drives Reuben Crazy........

Why would any one vote for Trump who brought us fuel independence and self sufficiency, a bomming economy, and the lowest racial and ethnic minority unemployment since WWII?

Reuben thinks people would have to be crazy to support a President who brough the very best of America forward.

So What does that Make Reuben?

Reuben knows its coming.....and its driving her batty:

We know Democrats are NOT normal. So, in Jennifer’s mind, who is?

To them, we’re a disease - a virus, if you will. And there is only one thing you do with a virus. And given that mindset, I will NEVER accept people here that want to empower them over RINOs, ever, for any reason.

2024 can't come fast enough, I am praying Trump runs and wins. Not only to save the country but to stick it so far up the rumps of these leftists is going to be absolutely glorious. Let's get them crying again!!!

Her and George Will should get a motel room together where they can whoop it up sticking pins in a Trump voodoo doll.

It is a terrible thing to lose your religion and take up with a cult. Trump Derangement Syndrome IS a cult, one that does not permit examination of its rationale or question of its authority. They have declared themselves to be the arbiter of all “truth”, and their dedication to “truthiness” is awesome indeed.

They have led themselves to believe so much that just is not so. That echo chamber must be deafening.

Brought to you by the folks who think printing more money will fix inflation, open borders are a great idea, defunding police will fix crime, a white kid shooting white attackers is racist and stealing elections is cool.

Like you, I can hardly wait to again witness the paroxysms of Trump Derangement Syndrome in these Utopian American Marxist Bigots.

Pretty much defines all Leftists. They think they know better than you. That’s why they see no problem in trying to run (or ruin) the lives of others.

If you find her intolerable, skip ahead to the last 30 seconds.

Some political columnists can’t function without an enemy. They can’t step back and think things over calmly once they have found an enemy to grab hold of.
