GOP governor accused of being CCP agent

Story.

A meeting of New England anti-vaccination activists went off the rails earlier this month when one participant accused Republican Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker of being a communist agent.


As reported by independent journalist Eoin Higgins, a recent public meeting of anti-vax group Stand Up Massachusetts quickly spiraled out of control, as attendees spouted paranoid and unfounded accusations about politicians and public health officials.

Attendee Dianna Ploss, for example, ranted against the Massachusetts Republican Party for not being receptive to her group's concerns.

"The Republicans in Massachusetts cannot be trusted!" she fumed. "Charlie Baker is an agent of the Chinese Communist Party... trust no one!"

Fellow anti-vaxxer Dattatreya Haynes, meanwhile, promoted paranoid beliefs about the group that he himself was supposedly a part of by claiming that "it's very possible that Stand Up Massachusetts has been infiltrated and is being controlled by other forces."

I'm flashing on a song from the Early '60s Folk Music Scare -- "John Birch Society" by the Chad Mitchell Trio:

We'll teach you how to spot 'em in the cities or the sticks
For even Jasper Junction is just full of Bolsheviks
The CIA's subversive and so's the FCC
There's no one left but thee and we, and we're not sure of thee

Wouldn't surprise me if he was. I have no personal opinion on the governor. His constituency would know better. There are some Republicans that appear to be carrying water for the CCP, and lots of Democrats as well, like the OP.

You really are a deep-cover liberal, aren't you? Only in this to make the RW look crazy-stupid?

Well, there is this fuzzy orange-yellow thing . . . I've seen it somewhere before . . .

Guess there are some in Massachusetts who don't understand what a communist is (or once was) any better than the board Trumpettes do.

Massachusetts Republicans, like California Republicans, probably are kinda Commie by red-state standards.

Fuck! We know Guiliani was on the take from everyone!!
You don’t have to be an “agent”
You just have to be stupid, greedy, and UNAMERICAN

Guiliani … is ALL of those and in the middle of everything !!

California Republicans are just as right-wing as any others. That's why they don't get elected statewide anymore.

What a fucking retard.

Again, in total denial of reality.

I like to think that Giuliani isn't in the middle of anything but trouble anymore and not receiving a check from anyone anymore either.

I guess I was judging them by Schwarzenegger.
