In a hilarious tweet, 9News reporter Brandon Rittiman nailed the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee for being lazy. According to a site called DiffChecker, which compares text differences between two text files, regardless of whether a legislator voted against the American Health Care Act, like U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman, or for the AHCA, like Rep. Scott Tipton, the messaging was the same. Here is Rittiman’s tweet:
No matter whether you voted AGAINST #AHCA (like @RepMikeCoffman) or FOR it (@RepTipton)– the @dccc spins it the same:#COpolitics #9NEWS pic.twitter.com/UEBoQwTtYQ

In response, DCCC national press secretary Tyler Law said, “Nailed It.” Um, not exactly Tyler. Could he be any more craven and cynical? This damned if you do, damned if you don’t approach to politics is one of the big reasons people hate politicians. Law isn’t winning hearts and minds – or votes – he’s just alienating average voters. So, good luck with that in 2018.
