As Mollie Hemingway might say, “I’m old enough to remember when Jonah Goldberg and the other NeverTrump all stars mocked Trump supporters for saying ‘He fights!’ I’m 2 years old.”

As we celebrate the positive, generations-long impact of Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation to the Supreme Court, a lot of analysts all across the political spectrum are taking stock in one very important ingredient to this victory.

President Trump fights!

While virtually any other Republican President would’ve caved within seconds of the allegations emerging, President Trump didn’t. And as I’ve written many times in the last month or so, I hope other Republicans are taking notes.

From a piece back in August that looks ahead to 2024…

Conservative Inc. love to mock Trump supporters for saying “He fights!” And that always reminds me of Leftists rolling their eyes when we say “Broken homes create disparity.” They take the one thing that’s actually the most true, and marginalize it to reduce or eliminate its potency. Trump beat The National Review, The Weekly Standard, Rich Lowry, Stephen Hayes, Stuart Stephens, and the rest of the conservative griftosphere because they thumb-wrestle for participation trophies while he dropkicks people for the win. When the media attacks Conservative Inc., they release press statements apologizing and then spend years atoning for the sin of losing in the court of public opinion. It’s almost never about what actually happened. Apologies, walking back, “toning down” and the like are very often about losing the conversation. And that’s all our side, before Trump, knew how to do.

Considering what we just witnessed with Brett Kavanaugh, it’s a timely and durable observation if I do say so myself.

So I figured as part of our overall schadenfreude of the day, it’d be fun to look back at some of the NeverTrump grifters mocking us for our appreciation that “He fights!”

Let’s start with Jonah Goldberg, and specifically this gem from October 2016 about how Trump supporters “thought it was a good idea to blow a winnable election on a goon ‘because he fights.'”

Of course there are plenty more…

Then there’s Stephen Miller. No, not that Stephen Miller. I’m talking about Twitter-famous @redsteeze who — like Alec Baldwin — I want to quit, but can’t, because when he’s good he’s great. But Botox Frosted Hair, aka redsteeze, was another part of the conservative media griftosphere who mocked us for supporting Trump because he fights. A few of the many, many examples…

@TheRickWilson Yeah but he's winning all of those Rick. He fights. — Stephen Miller (@redsteeze) August 9, 2015

Trump just wants to purify the country and kept hitler's speeches at his bedside,but this isn't about white supremacy. He fights! — Stephen Miller (@redsteeze) August 8, 2015

@BecketAdams HE FIGHTS* *Against private property rights — Stephen Miller (@redsteeze) October 6, 2015

Oh and look at this. Here we get Miller mocking our appreciation for Trump’s gumption while tagging along with Goldberg mocking us for something entirely unrelated. It’s kinda like “BOGO,” only for douchebag hot takes from swamp-dependent bottom feeders who built their careers losing. And who were immediately exiled from the conversation when Trump started winning it nationally, socially and culturally.

Problem is his trucon base loved this press conference. Loved it. "He fights" trademark TM — Stephen Miller (@redsteeze) August 16, 2017

Here’s another great one. Yeah, we really screwed up by “trusting” Trump. He’s clearly a stooge for Schumer. Good call, Stephen.

Their fault for trusting a guy who donated to Chuck Schumer for years. But he fights or something https://t.co/zud02xADXG — Stephen Miller (@redsteeze) September 7, 2017

And here are several more, some from NeverTrump hacks you already know. And some from NeverTrump hacks you never heard of who spend all their time giving reacharounds to the more famous NeverTrump hacks.

"But he fights!" Until someone fights back, then he just sends an insult on Twitter and runs away. #Loser — (((AG))) (@AG_Conservative) September 15, 2015

"He fights" was always a brain-dead refrain, and this tweet demonstrates why. He fights by attacking his own record in flailing desperation. — Noah Rothman (@NoahCRothman) October 24, 2017

Wow haha. This one really didn’t age well…

Remember when the "but he fights!" crowd was dismissing everyone who replied "choose your battles" as quisling squishes? I do. — Noah Rothman (@NoahCRothman) August 1, 2016

The once-great, now-terrible Jon Gabriel — who at some point stopped being original and started doing whatever he thought “the kids” were doing — also left a pretty decent papertrail of idiot-based NeverTrumpism in his wake…

This guy…

@JohnEkdahl He fights, John. I rest my damned case. — Jeff B. (@EsotericCD) August 11, 2015

And this one…

And this one, famous on MSNBC for loving Jeb(!) and hating Trump…

I was marginally for Graham-Cass but it is funny to watch the But He Fights crowd run into the reality of governing. — Tim Miller (@Timodc) September 22, 2017

The list goes on and on.

As noted: They take the one thing that’s actually the most true, and marginalize it to reduce or eliminate its potency. And Trump beat them all because they thumb-wrestle for participation trophies while he dropkicks people for the win.

Just to be very clear: If Trump didn’t fight, then Brett Kavanaugh would be a footnote and right now we’d be fending off claims that Amy Coney Barrett once attended a party where someone said something racist.

You’re damn right Trump fights. And it’s a good thing too. Because that’s not only why we just won a tremendously monumental Supreme Court battle, but it’s also why the media and Democrats won’t get to spend the next 5 decades curbstomping us with #MeToo politics…

The failed and now-exiled NeverTrump crowd built their careers twiddling their thumbs while the media and Democrats used identity politics to divide our nation and pummel the right socially and culturally. But because Trump fights, they won’t get to do the same with #MeToo politics. It’s a victory for due process. It’s a victory for social evolution and progress. It’s a political victory for the pro-Liberty movement, and a major loss for the big government SJW activists. And yes it’s a big win for the Supreme Court.

And it’s all because Trump fights.

AUTHOR’S NOTE: This piece was updated at approximately 7:45PM ET on the date of publication to include the name “Botox Frosted Hair” for Stephen Miller. The name is an old favorite for Miller, and the update was inspired by the temper tantrum he threw on Twitter in response to the original post. A tantrum for which he’s been rewarded a 42-to-1 reply-to-retweet ratio, and counting…
