Cognitive Dissonance
Steve Bates notes that Pruneface¹ [in his disguise as Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell] is complaining about Zero stealing the shtick of the GOP by talking about ‘unelected activist judges legislating from the bench and overturning laws enacted by the elected representatives of the people’, which is obviously plagiarized from the standard Republican stump speech.
While he could have filed an intellectual property complaint against Zero, it would have come as an unpleasant shock to the Republican base that the party actually has any ‘intellectual property’, an obvious characteristic of liberal elitists.
