Just when you thought #NeverTrump Republicans couldn’t go any lower, they have jumped to the defense of a Hollywood director whose pedophilia obsessed Tweets were so indefensible Disney fired him.

Big League Politics previously reported that Ben Shapiro jumped to the aid of “Guardians of the Galaxy” director James Gunn, but now he has friends joining with him.

Shapiro’s fellow #NeverTrump media figures Erick Erickson and David French have now put out Tweets in opposition to Gunn’s firing.

No. This is wrong. His old tweets were 100 percent offensive and gross, but this is not how we judge people. This is not how we determine the fate of a person’s career: https://t.co/U8hcO403Lw

To give some context, in case you haven’t yet seen them, this is a small sample of the comments Gunn sent out (Graphic Language below):

Erickson and French are both leading figures in the #NeverTrump movement. French even considered running against Trump as an Independent before bowing out, proving it was nothing more than a publicity stunt.

Along with being leading #NeverTrump figures, they both were vocal critics of Roseanne Barr, who was lost her wildly popular ABC show after making comments perceived as racist by some.

They didn’t use the same logic used to defend Gunn to defend Barr, one must wonder why? Could it be that Barr is pro-Trump, while Gunn has publicly spoken out against the President?

Longtime Democratic pundit James Carville chalked up Bernie Sanders’ resounding Nevada caucus victory to Russian interference on Saturday, claiming that Vladimir Putin was the ‘big winner’ of the caucus.

Carville is known for something of a running feud with Sanders. The Vermont socialist called the Democratic political consultant a “hack” earlier this month after Carville claimed he would be hopeless in a general election against Donald Trump.

It’s probably not too surprising that a figure closely linked to Bill and Hillary Clinton(Carville consulted Bill Clinton’s successful 1992 political campaign) isn’t a fan of Sanders. But his claim that Vladimir Putin is celebrating as Sanders stakes out a clear path to the Democratic nomination is nothing more than a cynical ploy.

Elements of the so-called intelligence community have made unsubstantiated claims that Russia is waging internet influence operations to boost the campaign of Sanders. The Democratic frontrunner pushed back against the Deep State-linked reports, which surfaced a day before the Nevada caucus.

Years after Robert Mueller’s seemingly endless probe into alleged grand Russian conspiracies to interfere in Americans failed to result in any major indictments or arrests, cable media entities remain wholly addicted to narratives alleging widespread social media influence campaigns waged by the Russian government.

Democrats are pulling of page out of a book they’ve used before in leveling Russian interference accusations against Sanders, and it increasingly appears as if the same set of vague and unsourced accusations are going to be trotted out against any political populist who threatens the interests of established interests within the Republican and Democratic parties.
