Missouri governor’s comments on coronavirus, McCloskeys raise eyebrows

In the interview, Cox asked if Parson would pardon the McCloskeys if they were convicted. Parson responded: “By all means, I would, and I think that’s exactly what would happen.” He said he wouldn’t know until he heard “all the facts” but “if this is all about going after them because they … did a lawful act, then, yeah, if that scenario in fact happened, I don’t think they’re going to spend any time in jail.”
In an interview on Friday with talk-radio host Marc Cox on KFTK (97.1 FM), Parson indicated both certainty and acceptance that the coronavirus will spread among children when they return to school this fall. The virus has killed 1,130 people in the state despite a weekslong stay-at-home order in the spring that helped slow the virus’ spread — and the state set a record on Saturday with 958 new cases.
“With less than 40 days until the expected Republican National Convention is slated to arrive in Jacksonville, I am compelled to express my significant concerns with the viability of this event. At this point, we are simply past the point of no return to execute the event with safety and security that is our obligation,” Williams said Monday. -- Duval County Sheriff Mike Williams
Does the Lincoln Project have a secret agenda? The answer is surprising.
The Never-Trump Republicans who founded the Lincoln Project are highly skilled at marshaling such sentiment. Their videos brutally attacking President Trump routinely go viral, turning them into heroes among the “Resistance glitterati.” https://crooked.com/articles/lincoln-project-friend-fraud/
I had a long and spirited conversation about all these criticisms with John Weaver, a co-founder and leader of the Lincoln Project. First, a few highlights:

Mr. Windsor had come out of nowhere to fill an unsettling opening in the market. He left a job selling ads for a local website in 2019, not long after his then-wife won an order of protection against him. This April, he was running a wedding venue. Statehouse reporters were stunned at his sudden emergence at news conferences, and at how quickly he parlayed those appearances into testifying in June for a Republican-backed bill to make the virus data less scary. So were people who had known Mr. Windsor in Mansfield.

The ex-Googler said they provided substantial guidance on a 2015 Wall Street Journal article headlined “Some Things Should Not Be ‘Forgotten,’” which advocated against the ‘right to be forgotten,’ a policy that allows people to force search engines to remove certain personal links. “It was a successful op-ed,” the ex-Googler said. The Journal article does not mention Google’s involvement. Its author, Jason Wright, declined to comment.
Former Florida congressman Allen West unseats James Dickey to become Texas GOP chairman
West defeated Dickey, who was running for a second full term, early Monday morning at a tumultuous virtual state convention.
West represented Florida’s 22nd Congressional District from 2011-2013. He built a national profile for his bombast, sparring with his House colleagues and railing against then-President Barack Obama. West came to Texas in 2014 to become the CEO of the National Center for Policy Analysis, a Dallas think tank that shuttered three years later.
