The post was neither inaccurate nor was it self-serving. I do not mention myself in the post. The conduct of the meeting was not menacing. We simply had rules and an order of speakers. Those things exist in the House of Representatives as well, to which the gentleman aspires. The gentleman chose to ignore those rules and speak out of order. When asked to cease, he argued, and when someone confronted him, he chose to leave rather than give simple courtesy. There were witnesses to all of these events. The organizers respected these rules and imposed them on ourselves. It was perfectly reasonable to expect compliance.

The gentleman oddly uses the term “panacea,” a fix-all, which has the connotation of being a false hope. No one has made any such claims for Progressive Democrats of America. One suspects that the word has been plucked from a thesaurus without reference to connotation, which suggests that the gentleman is not familiar with the word. That casts doubt on his verbal acuity.

So there is a man who was unaware of his filed Primary opponents, will not respect the rules of host groups, and possesses limited verbal skills, who wishes to challenge an incumbent for a Congressional seat. The same man repeatedly talks up how easy four-time victor Mica is to beat and brags about his qualifications as a CPA. And somehow I’M the one with the problem? Yeah, … no.
