Nine days ago, I wrote about Dana Milbank scoring an “own goal” because he claimed we needed bigger government to deal with coronavirus, yet all the nations he cited for their effective responses actually have a much smaller fiscal burden than the United States.
Today, we have the Twitter equivalent of an “own goal.”
R.D. Hale, a British guy from the #SocialistCampaignGroup tweeted that he wants to move to an island and start a new country with Jeremy Corbyn and Bernie Sanders.
As far as I’m concerned, that’s a good idea. I certainly wouldn’t be upset if hard-core leftists decided to leave the United States (there’s even a satirical version of this idea).
But Tom Harwood, as you can see, had a response that was far more clever.
Ouch! I don’t know if “own goal” does this justice. This is a brutal dunk by Harwood on Hale.
Especially since both Sanders and Corbyn actually have offered praise for Castro and Cuba.
The bottom line is that the utter misery and deprivation of the Cuban people is a pretty good indication of what would happen if lunatics like Sanders and Corbyn ever had free rein to impose their policies in the U.S. or U.K.
P.S. Here’s the best counter-tweet of 2019.
