Judicial Watch has received a lengthy FOIA release based on Michigan state inquiries into the details of state Health and Human Services Director Robert Gordon departure from his position [SEE HERE]. Within the FOIA release there are emails between Director Gordon and Governor Whitmer using guidance from pollster Frank Luntz. In essence Luntz was helping Gretchen Whitmer construct the wording used to manipulate the Michigan citizenry into buying the COVID propaganda.
Judicial Watch – […] Much of the Luntz Report deals with wordsmithing. A table in the report categorizes words as “Words to Use” and “Words to Lose.” For example, use “protocols” and lose “orders & decrees;” use “social distancing” and lose “physical distancing.” Another Luntz recommendation is to “Call It the Pandemic,” based on his surveys that found the word “pandemic” is “more significant, serious, and scary” than the alternatives “COVID-19” and “The Coronavirus.”
[…] The survey of 1,100 people, which included an “oversample of 300 African Americans,” found that there was a “chasm” between Republicans and Democrats on Covid, and “In every possible way, Democrats and Republicans think differently and act differently.” Luntz said they “tested specific words, sentences, phrases, and attributes Americans need to hear to change their behavior and stop the spread of the coronavirus.” When asked the survey question, “Which is more important to you regarding Covid-19?” survey respondents outranked “Health” to “Liberty” by 48% to 13%. Among African Americans, 54% responded “Health” and 6% said “Liberty.”
Based on his findings, Luntz had a series of “insights” he offered:
-
- Nothing scares GOPers more than an IRS audit‚ except testing positive for COVID.
- Despite vocal criticism from President Trump, President-elect Joe Biden was rewarded, not punished for “staying in his basement” for two months.
- There are only two trusted organizations and people – the CDC and Dr. Anthony Fauci. No one else is close. And don’t forget to utilize survivors of Covid as well. Congress also lacks credibility.
- If you want Republican buy-in, you must make the case that the science is settled and that everyone now agrees.
- “Say “Public,” Not “Government”
- MORE
Throughout the early months of 2020 (during the COVID narrative beginning) Gretchen Whitmer was positioning herself to be a vice-president to the eventual nominee. Whitmer’s public positions on COVID were backstopped with those political ambitions in mind. Obviously once Barack Obama, Tom Perez, DNC club members and Chicago organizers stepped-in with urgency to get rid of Bernie Sanders they utilized James Clyburn and the AME network and that changed the dynamic for Whitmer’s prospects.
Ultimately the Chicago network and Black Grievance Industry formulated a plan to trigger racial grievance as a tool to compliment the mail-in ballots; and that approach meant a more useful Kamala Harris would be selected for the 2020 Potempkin ticket.
As the spring progressed into summer, and Whitmer’s extreme lust for power showcased her rabid political self-interest at Clintonian levels, the toxic internal dynamics in Michigan (backlash upon her insufferable dictates) made her a political liability; however, the Obama crew still needed to use the electoral manipulations (Wayne County mail-in ballots) that Whitmer’s ideological administration could provide.
All of that said it does not come as a surprise to see Whitmer using the services of Frank Luntz any more than it was a surprise to see Fox News’ Bret Baier call Arizona for Biden before the polls even closed. The entire political machine (insider network) were acting with one aggregate goal in mind… Get rid of Donald Trump.
The 2020 usurpation is only recently beginning to have the threads unraveled, and for people to see just how easy it was for corrupt interests in seven key regions to swing the entire election through fraud. (Clark County, NV. – Fulton County, GA. – Maricopa County, AZ. – Philadelphia, PA. – Wayne County, MI. – St. Louis, MO and Madison, WI) It was strategic use of these key blue populations that led to the overall swing in the overnight hours.
DeceptiCons (Wall St Republicans) were/are more than happy to support that objective.
Just like the DeceptiCons would not lift a finger to confront the Obama effort to use the IRS to target the Tea Party, do not expect Republicans to do anything to confront the election fraud. It is against their unified interests.
A whore by any other name.
Whitmer or Harris? Oh, I’m sorry. You were talking about Luntz.
All of the above.
Well played, Sir.
Well played.
As Jerimiah Wright would say “He’s been riding dirty”! ?
Frank Luntz: Political hore.
It’s been long in getting here, but he’s finally being exposed.
I never bought into Frank Putz or his phony “focus group” BS. Just something about that RINO slob that didn’t set right with me.
His “poop eating grin?” as my long departed father would say…only more crudely.
‘Possum grin was the polite tern around here.
He’s always been batting for the other team. Any GOP member who employs him or is even seen within 5 feet of him, should be branded the traitorous POS that Luntz has always been.
I still remember when Fox News had this clown on all the time.
I still remember when Fox was news.
I guess you can include Mccarthy
Yup! He’s number one on the list if he stays “close personal friends” with lumpy Luntz.
Even if he doesn’t’ he’s gotta go. No better than Boehner or Ryan.
brothers by a different mother!
Birds of a feather flock together.
If??… he is living in the same house.
And McCarthjy supposedly rents one room but has access to the full penthouse Luntz owns.
The ultra-jowled one.
AND TURTLE….
“Another Luntz recommendation is to “Call It the Pandemic,” based on his surveys that found the word “pandemic” is “more significant, serious, and scary” than the alternatives “COVID-19” and “The Coronavirus.””
Why would a governor need such a wordsmith and assistance with speaking publicly on a virus that was so deadly that businesses and school kids needed to be crushed and freedom wiped out?
Gee McCarthy, nice friends you have there.
Yeah, that’s real obvious. It was a political game, all along.
In my region, most people knew this – or have come to question it.
Time for Frank Lumps to go. He had a good run, and fooled many of us. I hope he can retire to a hobby which doesn’t cause the populace harm.
THIS ^^^^^^^ is important!!!
WHEN did Luntz utter that recomendation?
WHO got on board immediately afterwards?
If were going to try to get ANYTHING done, we have to play
by these assholes rules. The first rule would be
The second rule would be :
Who rushes in to back it up, out of the blue??
Remember? Bryan, Hillary’s flying monkey was the first
to utter “Defund the Police” over twitter, when nobody else
had bothered to say anything that insane or stupid prior to
having a BLM ready moment to spring it on anybody?
Remember Arabella Advisors was Bryan’s employer at the time
that the tweet went out?
And, remember everybody went batshit crazy backing it up after
Hillary’s flying monkey posted it?
Do you think anybody posting a backup to that tweet would ever,
in a kazillion years have considered such base bullshit as a way to
cure problems prior to Bryan posing it? No way in hell. All the backup
people had been let in on the joke, longgggggg before. The logic of it
doesn’t even begin to stand on it’s own.
The same logic applies to “Call it the Pandemic”. Who was onboard
with the verbage from the get go, pounding it it, over and over? Anyone
doing that was in on the scam from the get go.
If we’re looking for guilty parties then look back to when ” The Pandemic”
starts appearing right and left from our rulers. They’re the ones that were
sitting in the smoke filled room.
“There’s your sign”.
Mockingbird Media isn’t just conjecture or a “conspiracy theory”. You can see it in operation 24/7/365
“Settled science” is what stuck out for me, especially since my own personal scientist was debunking their propaganda throughout the scamdemic. I couldn’t figure out how they could be getting such dumb information and believe it. Answer: it wasn’t ‘science,’ it was b.s.
Gretchen has a bigger one than Cuntz Luntz.
???
Re “Gretchen has a bigger one than Cuntz Luntz.”
“Has” or “IS?”
🙂
Gretchen has a nickname she was labeled with in high school by a boyfriend and it’s Stretchen Gretchen.
You can guess why and probably get it right in the first two guesses
I heard she likes to call herself Big Gretch…not being dirty minded, I thought she was referring to being a power hungry b!tch…you have given an entirely new definition!
Luntz the puts
Isn’t his 15 minutes of Fame up?
Not surprised. Makes you wonder what he also did for Kevin McCarthy and the GOP RINO Leadership and what other Democrat did he assist? Yet, FOX News couldn’t get enough of him.
If someone would release his tax return we would be shocked
He used to run around w/Eric Cantor.
Sometimes it’s stunning to see the stupidity people spend money on.
Were half of that 1100 people surveyed in the CDC parking lot?
Just dug through sundance’s links for context on timing – this Luntz stuff happened in December of 2020.
I can’t quite imagine any consultant, even the perennially incompetent Luntz, advising today that the CDC and FauxChi are the “only two trusted organizations.”
Are you sure about that? Fraudchi showed his true colors long before December 2020.
He didn’t say that because F. was actually credible, but that’s the narrative he wanted to push.
Well, he IS right, we don’t give congress ANY credibility.
Just remember that Luntz is Kevin McCarthy’s great, long-time friend, and roommate/landlord.
Further proof that “It’s a big club, and we ain’t in it!”
They were ALL on the same page from the get go. Read the Time Mag. article. It was one giant SCAM to get rid of a true President of the People.
Another traitor to the Republic is exposed. May he meet his maker soon than later.
AS PODESTA…TODAY ?????
Hey Luntz,
I know that you are reading this and my survey with a scientific sample size of one says. . .
FOAD!!
The respondent means that most genuinely and sincerely, so please take it to heart.
The word is quisling.
Oh you mean the guy who lives with Kevin McCarthy. I’m sure this was never discussed between them though.
McCarthy is a snake. Period.
Survey says losers!!!
Never forget that Paul Ryan and his ilk were pushing McCarty for Speaker before he blew himself up. Time has shown that he hasn’t changed one iota.
Frank Lunz is going down — a weirdo. Who replicates the Oval Office in their own home? Only a weirdo.
Dr. Anthony Fauci is also going down. I wonder what he has in his home?
Both small fish.
Both were riding high at some point, and both are expendable.
We really, really — and I do mean ‘really’ — need the BIG FISH.
We need the BIG FISH who seriously believe they are never, ever — EVER — expendable.
I think that both those clowns have been going down for a long time.
LOLOLOL
Who’s the catcher?
I love your work but why did you mention St. Louis, Missouri here? St. Louis is true blue, but Missouri overall is a very red state these days and went solidly for Trump again?
I was going to make the same point. Missouri is not a swing state and went red right down the ticket.
And what was Luntz’s buddy McCarthy doing while all of this was going on, supporting old Frank?
GOD help us. What a bunch of evil minions Great white throne judgement awaits all of you unless you repent
look it up Is it really worth selling your countrymen out for power. Power is fleeting eternity lasts forever. Grammy
“What does it profiteth a man to gain the whole world and lose his own soul.”
Thanks due once again to Judicial Watch, who always comes through for us when no one else can, or will.
A pox on Whitmer may the Bird of Paradise Fly Up Her Nose
Now if Judicial Watch could only get those Mark Short emails unredacted…..
Anything and everything anywhere close to Odumbo is evil and
anti-American
Amen to that! No truer words………..
How much influence did his roommate Kevin contribute to all of this communist propaganda.
If this is not crystal clear as to the coordination of attacks on this country from all enemies foreign and domestic I don’t know what is
Frank Purz = The Enemy Within.
A real “pandemic” doesn’t need word smithing to get buy in, just saying.
The whole stinking cabal is being unveiled everyday. Lumpy is just the kind of self serving beta male that likely has no self esteem or respect. A manipulator in every sense of the word. I’d love to see someone slap that rug off his head!
McCarthy’s “Today I’m MAGA, tomorrow not so much” slipperiness is most certainly due to Kuntz.
Gee, is this the same Fran Klutz who in 2015 said Trump would not win the primaries and would not be the GOP candidate?
CBSNEWS: Last Updated Aug 7, 2015 3:12 PM EDT
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump may have outscored his fellow candidates in talk-time during Thursday night’s GOP primary debate, but Republican strategist and CBS News contributor Frank Luntz said he saw the “destruction of a candidacy.”
….
@FrankLuntz, your so-called “focus groups” are a total joke. Don’t come to my office looking for business again. You are a clown!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 7, 2015
So this is why they threw him under the bus.
I imagine this is what many modern American political leaders do. They sit around a table and debate whether the call a cat a “feline,” a “cat,” or a “pussy.” It will take them hours but I think we all know what word they will choose.
The times have been too easy for these people. Easy times produce soft people like Luntz and McCarthy.
For $50,000, I’d advise them to use “kitty.”
How about a Brit version: Kitty McKittyFace.
(I still can’t forget that incident where the Brit public chose Boaty McBoatFace as the name for a military ship, and the oligarchy lost their minds over it… Makes me laugh!)
I’m sure he was paid handsomely, courtesy of the Michigan taxpayers. Nothing they say or are willing to do is a surprise. I just wish more people would wake up and revolt against these scumbags.
“If you want Republican buy-in, you must make the case that the science is settled “
LOL…..people pay this clown money?
“the science is settled” is why I bought into that climate change is political and not science.
That’s the LAST PHRASE you’d want to use to “get Republican buy-in”.
Unless he’s talking about the GOPe.
I’ll never forget that when I was living on Long Island, NY (left in 2013), I used to always go to his focus group web site and answer his dumb questionnaire. I was anxious to get in there and stand up for conservatism. So I would never get called until 1 time in October 2012. I got notified via email that I was selected and would need to attend the focus group in NYC. Then we got hit with hurricane Sandy and it cancelled. Maybe it was for the better. lol
Strangely, just before sandy, it looked like Romney could take PA. No power for a week. Back on and Nobama won. I no longer answer polls. Well, maybe sometimes, but I lie. 😉 never tell the enemy the truth.
I wonder if Fat Frankie went over his list of words with pajama buddy Kevin McCarthy ?
I used to love a good wordsmith, but my only thought was that they wrote the most compelling books.
Luntz has shown me the darker side of the wordsmith. Words mean things, and finding the most impactful words to give a desired meaning that is contrary to the truth, is the evil practiced by wolves in sheeps clothing.
Coaching from Luntz on how to maintain focus on and repeat a script, using Luntz’s ‘Words to Use’ table without deviating, never get tricked into using any ‘Words to Lose’, I now better understand why a politician can never give a straight answer to a seemingly simple and clear question.
<Words mean things>
I’ve been saying that for years! 🙂
Your observations made me think about Obama’s fundamental transformation. People heard that phrase and thought he meant fixing/improving not completely changing our country. Pandemic sounds scary till you see tic tick nurses dancing, doctors singing on tv and empty hospital parking lots.
It’s why people don’t trust politicians. They are not authentic. They don’t say what they truly mean, only what they think they need to say to get in and stay in power. Politicians: “Truth? Meh.”
“oversample of 300 African Americans,”
My observation shopping this weekend is that blacks are maintaining mask wearing. The Overlords scared them well.
Ditto, here in north Alabama. Very sad, I feel bad for them because I know they’re being hoodwinked and giving into peer pressure. They need to free themselves from the MSM.
Same here in NC. Black people are remaining masked.
Vitamin D is one of the factors that provide better outcomes with Covid. Most
People are deficient in Vitamin D, especially people with dark skiN (and people shut inside because of their work, or age/condition).
A lot of black people would
know people who died from the bio weapon. A friend of a friend at a western Indian reservation described an entire family wiped out. And if the Overlords had not obstructed information about Vitamin D, and access to Ivermectin, colchicine, HCQ etc a lot of those people would likely still be with us
How did this guy ever consider himself a Republican? I guess that in the vein of the Shrubs, Pierre Delecto, and McShame. And he wonders what happened to the thinking of GOP voters?
Well, this article, someone posted earlier, explains most of it, except for the praise of AOC at the end, even though we can’t stand Amazon.
https://amgreatness.com/2021/05/14/the-republican-party-sucks/
Another paid for traitor to the Republic. Mr. Luntz has shown his true colors. may his fall from grace be as harsh and painful as can be.
What B-level horror flick is this picture from ?
Humanoids from the Deep (1980)?
She really does have scary eyes.
“What B-level horror flick is this picture from ?”
The Mask?
Can’t help but wonder if he worked with Kate Brown of Oregon too.
Kevin McCarthy has to go.
He is emblematic of much, that is wrong with the GOP. His departure wont cure all ills, but will be great signal.
There cannot be a better future with him as Leader.
I have no doubt Whitmer was Creepy Joe’s VP pick – but he was over-ruled.
Is that a photo of Luntz or just another photo of “Pat” from the other article? ?
Maybe Luntz is why everyone calls it “the jab” instead of a “shot” or “inoculation”, etc.
The “jab” drives me crazy. It’s a boxing punch or being snotty/taking a swipe at someone. Every time I point this out to someone they’re like “I never thought about that”. Deep state is laughing as people adopt their language. Dumbed down to a 1 syllable word.
Well it’s NOT a vaccine. It cures NOTHING.
Deep state laughs that it is accepted as a vaccine.
I’m relentless about calling It the spike protein gene therapy.
Almost no one in this area of Garbageville / Riot town understand what I’m referring to
It is exactly that.
Shots could be construed as something good about fire arms…wait, fire arms, arms…oh no! We need to use Jab!
Everything they do is well planned, well scripted and comes from the ivory towers of corruption. Now that they have control of the voting machines and are able to harvest votes in democratic districts in swing states the game is over for the people.
“Which is more important to you regarding Covid-19?” survey respondents outranked “Health” to “Liberty” by 48% to 13%. Among African Americans, 54% responded “Health” and 6% said “Liberty.”
And therein lays the whole of the issue and why no one will stand up for anything… Liberty means that little to that few.
The rest are cowards!
Found in the bin…. 🙁
“if it saves but one life…”
As far as MAGA supporters go, association with Luntz should be the kiss of political death for any GOP member seeking their vote.
This is why we should get into the habit of saying ‘government schools’ instead of ‘public schools’. ?
Whitmer and Luntz are exactly the white supremecists that Biden is talking about.
Arrest them, Joe!
Tammy Bruce has been talking about the DEMS “WORD SALADS” as she calls them. She used to be a very Liberal Dem who woke up. Amazing that these so called smarter than you people have to have someone tell them how to talk and what to say. Amazing how the one they were calling Dumb
could stop and give a speech anytime without people telling him what to say and his name is TRUMP
Every single thing she got from Luntz sounds like BS — and we the Michigan citizens paid for Luntz’s BS tips.
No wonder we never believed a word she said. Luntz should have given Gov Shutdown tips about avoiding rank hypocrisy in her own behavior but of course he’s blind to that behavior himself.
Luv from West Michigan
His shitty $4 dye job gives this loogan away. McCarthy lives in Luntz house FFS. I bet they are just friends though…
After this revelation and the old find out that Kevin McCarthy is a tenant in a Frank Luntz dormitory for wayward boys, I think of Lunz and the Mary Matalin of our time. How can we make Luntz go away?
So is Luntz the scriptwriter? We have all seen the Fox News montage that begins with one station and multiplies to all of them. I often wondered who was in charge of the daily email that coordinates every news cycle. McCarthy is certainly in on the inner workings of Dems if he is living with the Chief Communist Propaganda Messenger. What was this guy’s equivalent called in Russia? China?
Luntz is a dangerous putz.
