Look at Minority Whip Hoyer Pretending Not to Be a Knee-jerk Partisan

House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-MD) is one of the most rabid partisans in Congress. The self described “tax, tax, and spend, spend liberal” routinely spews whatever asinine talking points the DNC puts out regarding the evil Republicans and their tax cuts for the rich at the expense of the poor.

Suddenly he’s besties with former President George W. Bush.

Happy birthday to former President George W. Bush. Thank you for your friendship and cooperation across the aisle. #TBT pic.twitter.com/Z9mlhMsWsZ

As President, George W. Bush was vilified by Democrats, including Hoyer.

This tweet can only be a veiled shot at President Trump. Hoyer is one of Nancy Pelosi’s top yes-men, and we know that since Trump got elected Pelosi has “prayed for Bush to be president again.”

I think the only thing worse than irrational partisanship is disingenuous, fake bipartisanship.
