Rodney Davis loves “civility,” plays dirty politics
Rodney Davis’ team sent a volunteer to pose as a reporter during a private press call held by Betsy Dirksen-Londrigan. What follows is a roller coaster where the troll admits to being a troll, and working on behalf of our beloved Representative Davis.
Now, the Davis campaign is freezing out WCIA, because I guess that’s what happens when media hold their elected officials responsible.
Excited to see what other kind of horseshit Rod has up his sleeve.
And for what it’s worth, Betsy took the high road, even during the call, because she possesses human decency.
UPDATE: Rod called into WDWS’ morning show this morning. They didn’t ask him about this. Shocking.
