On MSNBC’s MTP Daily, Katy Tur turned Rep. Dave Brat (R-VA) into a far right conspiracy mess as the House Republican tried his best to defend Donald Trump.
If midterm election years have a reputation for being tepid and boring, a typically alienating cycle where the opposition party stokes its base with a referendum on the sitting President, 2014 is bucking the script.
Even though Brat appears to be an extremist outlier in the conservative movement, his outrage that Cantor voted to raise the debt ceiling and end the government shutdown is not outside the mindset of the majority of Republicans in Congress and it is down to Brat’s economic ideology.
