Republican strategist Chris LaCivita takes issue with my point about the GOP holding their criticism over the long weekend.
LaCivita is best known for his role in the Swift Boat ads.
He told TPMDC the Republicans are smart to (mostly) avoid direct criticism of President Obama related to the Nobel Peace Prize, arguing they should spend their time attacking Obama’s domestic policy.
“Why divert an attack on the Nobel Peace Prize when there are bigger issues and bigger fish to fry back home?” LaCivita said, adding he thinks Obama won for giving “a couple nice speeches.”
“I don’t know what it does for us, for the country,” he said. “I don’t care what the French think of us and I could care less what the people in Oslo think of us.”
