Do you remember Kevin McCarthy's landlord getting bumped off in 2021?

A month before the 2020 election, the goofball Democrat pollster and OxyContin lobbyist Frank Luntz complained that the Trump campaign was “the worst campaign I’ve ever seen and I’ve been watching them since 1980. They’re on the wrong issues. They’re on the wrong message.”

He famously added: “Nobody cares about Hunter Biden.”

It fell to yours truly to remind people that Frank Luntz was not actually a credible figure in the world of polling.

One month after the 2020 election, Frank Luntz was actually trying to tell people that the economy during Trump’s first administration had been lousy! This was the first indication that Luntz was not only a disgraced OxyContin lobbyist but possibly a customer of the stuff during the Trump years. What else could explain statements this dumb and disqualifying — other than powerful drugs?

By the way, you can even get a t-shirt with the very phrase they will one day engrave on Frank Luntz’s abandoned gravestone in Purdue Pharma’s parking lot: “I am a supporter of a very famous medication right now, OxyContin, because I think that this is a miracle drug which allows people to get through the day.”
