Right winger Erick Erickson writes: I don’t really care what you think about Joe Scarborough, but no American deserves to have the President of the United States targeting him with accusations of murder.

“Even I am shocked that I would talk about President Trump and humility, but in this one regard he actually does exercise more humility than Pete Buttigieg. President Trump has said more than once he has never felt the need to repent for anything. That raises questions about his salvation that I have explored in the past and also why …

Once upon a time “Never Trump” leader Erick Erickson, last appeared on JMG when he fell for the far-right hoax that David Hogg wasn’t at school on the day of the Parkland massacre.

Over on the Resurgent, right wing commentator Erick Erickson has recounted a conversation with an unnamed GOP member of the US House.

I haven’t been in a Safeway since …

Right wing bloviator Erick Erickson writes: There is only a one way street and the crowd that demands tolerance only wants tolerance for themselves. All others must be silenced. The political left is becoming the American ISIS. But let’s not excuse the right. Increasingly, there are those on the right who think they have to behave exactly as the left …

Right wing radio host and erstwhile Never Trump cheerleader Erick Erickson today went on a tweetstorm declaring that he doesn’t have to care about climate change because he believes in Jesus.

In other words, an ordinary douchebaggery-filled day …

Right wing commentator Erick Erickson writes: I think the White House does the American people a great disservice by inviting Gateway Pundit in to the press briefings. I’m not sure there is a greater purveyor of fake news on the left or right than that site. Inviting in a known purveyor of fake news gives that purveyor a credibility that …

Erick Erickson has the super sadz. He writes at The Insurgent: President Obama, with the support of the anti-Christian left, signed an executive order that prohibits discrimination by any federal contractor, without exception, against the gay community. It sounds both good and noble. The problem is those religious organizations adhering to their faith cannot now compete on a level playing …

Trump gets both barrels from right wing pundit Erick Erickson today. He writes: Stop saying conservatives opposed to Donald Trump want Hillary Clinton to be President.

Perhaps his medication wore …

Right wing pundit Erick Erickson unloaded today on Donald Trump’s supporters in an essay for The Resurgent that is getting wide notice.

Right wing commentator Erick Erickson writes: Mitt Romney has given up on trying to recruit someone for a third party effort against Clinton and Trump. I opposed Romney in 2008 and 2012, but I think the time has come for Mitt Romney. I’d gladly work for a Romney Presidency given the choices between Clinton and Trump. There is more and …

“Republicans owe Bill Clinton an apology for impeaching him over lies and affairs while now embracing a pathological liar and womanizer. That apology will not be forthcoming. In fact, for years Republicans have accused the Democrats of gutter politics and shamelessness. Now the Republicans themselves have lost their sense of shame. “As Marco Rubio withdrew from the Republican primary in …
