New York Times journo Trip Gabriel, who is covering 2020 for the paper, just compared Amy McGrath to Luke Skywalker:
Mitch McConnell liked to call himself Darth Vader in the Senate. Looks like Amy McGrath will run as Luke Skywalker. https://t.co/xZZpu0uGAi

“Is this journalism?”

McGrath will get the full Beto treatment before it’s done:
And the Times will give her the full Beto tongue bath right up until her early evening concession.

And so much for “We don’t pick sides”:
"We DoNt PiCk SiDeS!!!"

This really is worse than when failed presidential candidate Eric Swalwell compared Dems to “The Avengers”:
This is worse than Swalwell and the Avengers.

And as for the comparison, does this mean McGrath is Mitch’s daughter?
Amy's his daughter? (SPOILER!) https://t.co/zT8JRaNGB4

And maybe Gabriel hasn’t seen “The Empire Strikes Back”:
Luke Skywalker got totally owned by Darth Vader in the first fight, so this is actually a great comparison, Mr. NY Times. https://t.co/7znpw2jNxy

We remember:
she’s going to get her hand cut off and be left hanging upside down dangling from a garbage chute?

Hopefully, Mitch puts this in an ad:
Hell yeah can’t wait for Mitch McConnell to chop off her arm with a lightsaber
— Caleb Hull (@CalebJHull) July 9, 2019
Or maybe McGrath will be old Luke?
And then spend the rest of her days after her loss on a secluded island drinking green tit milk and sulking.

And. . .yikes:
she's going to make out with her sister
— Alex Griswold (@HashtagGriswold) July 9, 2019
And there is an argument that Luke is the real villain in the films:
so you're saying her bad judgment will lead to the decimation of an entire planet or that her failure will be so total that she'll end up on a stormy island and disavow her entire belief system? seriously dude, watch the movies.
