Vox Fails Yet Again: GOP Senators' Letter 'Unprecedented' Protocol Breach

March 10th, 2015 3:38 PM

Do the good folks at Vox.com ever tire of being wrong? Apparently not. 

Josh Trevino of the conservative Texas Public Policy Foundation explains why it's "TIME TO RESET THE VOX "DAYS WITHOUT AN ERROR" CLOCK:" 

Fresh off demagoguing the tragic death of a new Texan, Vox's Max Fisher declares the Sen. Tom Cotton letter "an unprecedented breach in protocol." Except it's not, of course: in the modern era, we see United States Senators and Congressmen communicating and even traveling abroad to counter Presidential foreign policy rather often. There's the Ted Kennedy 1984 outreach to Yuri Andropov to form an electoral alliance against Ronald Reagan (yes, you read that right); there is the 1985 John Kerry and Tom Harkin trip to Managua; there is the 1985 Jim Wright "Dear Commandante" letter; and there is the 2002 Jim McDermott trip to Baghdad. For starters.

One may dispute the merits of these acts, but they happened, and if you're going to write on the topic, you may want to know that.
