Joe Walsh Tweets About Jimmy Kimmel’s ‘Sad Story,’ Gets Ripped Apart

[Catholics vs. Convicts]

Joe Walsh is probably the #1 most terrible person in politics/media today.

I will feel no sadness or remorse when Joe Walsh dies cold, bitter and alone.

It's not worded well, but it seems that his point is that anecdotes should not dictate policy, which is 100% correct.

That is literally the backbone of the modern conservative movement; "I feel" versus "I know", emotion versus logic, the ability to use a personal/anecdotal instance to refute aggregate evidence to the contrary, storytelling versus policy, etc.

Democrats should be using this more often, not less. People don't listen to facts: they listen to what they feel.

Millionaire Jimmy Kimmel talking down to us isn't going to bode well next year. You all haven't learned a thing.

Somehow a former white supremacist saying that doesn't inspire much fear in me.

And yet every single person who listened to Jimmy Kimmel's anecdote understood the argument that he was implicitly making: A system which dooms children to death at birth based on how much money their parents have is bad public policy.

Joe Walsh is pretending that he didn't understand Jimmy Kimmel's argument.

Joe Walsh has not presented an effective counterargument.

This must be Joe Walsh.

FTR, Joe Walsh settled his child support dispute in 2012 and his ex-wife made a public statement that it was a "misunderstanding". All of his children are legally adults, so he is, at least now, not a deadbeat dad.

What a Christian-like thing to say coming from the party of Jesus!

He's still a deadbeat dad at heart.
