Early in Representative Jim Hagedorn's effort to win elected office, we looked at his political blog Mr. Conservative. Lovely stuff, which he later deleted. Five years later, Tim Murphy looked at the rich vein of content for Rolling Stone in House Candidate Called Female Senators “Undeserving Bimbos in Tennis Shoes”; Jim Hagedorn’s old blog, “Mr. Conservative,” is a ticking time bomb.
Now that sort of rhetorical fire is back on the part of Jim Hagedorn is back, talking about his fellow Republicans. In the Rochester Post Bulletin, Matthew Stolle reports in Hagedorn says his wife was victim of radical left tactic, 'cancel culture':
. . . Hagedorn said his wife fell victim to "cancel culture," a radical left tactic, engineered by a small clique devoted to her undoing. The result was "needless chaos within the party."
"As the dust begins to settle," he said, his wife will be vindicated and shown that the allegations against her were baseless.
"The antagonists offered no proof or factual evidence to back up their claims," Hagedorn said in the post. "Instead, they littered the public square with innuendo, anonymous stories, absurd guilt by association and other nonsense.
"Then, working as a mob, they brutally forced Jennifer out without one minute of due process," Hagedorn wrote. . . .
Hagedorn said his wife's mistreatment was conducted by a "small but vocal Clique" in the party, but rank-and-file Republicans are "not happy with the way things went down."
"Republicans must stand for due process, follow the facts and give people a fair chance," Hagedorn said. "We must reject the societal cancer of WOKE political correctness, cancel-culture and judgment imposed by cyber mobsters."
Oh my. Here's the Facebook post. We recommend reading the entire post and the comments.
