Jaw Dropping Nonsense – Erick Erickson: “Jeb Bush is The Most Conservative Republican Governor”… [Erickson is a JOKE! TM]
Erick Erickson became the center of the GOP discussion this week with his disinvite of Donald Trump from the Red State gathering of political candidates.
In addition, Erickson did not invite Dr. Ben Carson saying: “he’d seen him appear at charity benefits and talk about himself“.
So Erickson takes to the stage to introduce his friend: “I love this guy“, “the most conservative governor“, Jeb Bush.

Jeb Bush, “the most conservative governor”; surely soon to be followed by: Nancy Pelosi, the most open-minded democrat.
Friday night, blogger Erick Erickson rescinded Donald Trump’s invitation to appear at the “RedState Gathering,” a conservative conference in Atlanta. Erickson made the move after Trump said in an interview that he was asked tough questions by Fox News’ Megyn Kelly because she was menstruating.
Erickson, however, has a long history of extremely sexist comments. He has repeatedly stated his belief that women, in general, should not work. He said men should play “the dominant role” and women earning the primary paycheck is “bad for kids and bad for marriage.”
He specifically cheered Trump’s sexist and mean-spirited attacks on Rosie O’Donnell. He supported the exclusion of women from Augusta National Golf Club, saying “I don’t want to be hanging out at some women’s event!”
The list goes on and on. Jeb Bush appeared at the RedState Gathering on Saturday and pronounced that Erickson was “on the side of women.”
Erickson tried to distinguish his own comments from Trump’s by claiming he has apologized. But he only apologized for one sexist remark — referring to the first day of the Democratic National Convention, which featured female speakers, as the “Vagina Monologues.”
"Erickson made the move after Trump said in an interview that he was asked tough questions by Fox News’ Megyn Kelly because she was menstruating."
Actually, no, he didn't, but such is the slovenly and purposefully biased reporting by a site called Think Progress. What he did say was, "You could see there was blood coming out of her eyes. Blood coming out of her wherever." which leads to a strong inference that is what he meant, though he did not use the word "menstruating".
