The Democrat National Committee reportedly got into a tiff with comedian and “Veep” star Julia Louis-Dreyfus last year over an anti-Trump dementia joke she’d written for her Democrat National Convention speech.
However, you’d be mistaken to assume the beef was a result of the committee caring an iota about someone attacking and mocking then-President Donald Trump.
Rather, the DNC reportedly complained about the comedian’s dementia joke primarily because they worried it’d draw attention to then-presumptive-Democrat presidential nominee Joe Biden’s own cognitive failures, according to a report from Vanity Fair magazine.
Published Friday, the report documented a fascinating phone call in August of 2020, the month of the convention, between Dave Mandel, the leading producer of “Veep,” and Stephanie Cutter, the convention’s chief program executive.
They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
