Allen West, Washington Outsider, Returns To Washington

it's Howdy Doody time
WASHINGTON — On the roof of his new North Capitol Street office building, Col. Allen West points over to his old office, the United States Capitol.
Article Photo“I’m coming back here to keep an eye on Washington, D.C., and report back to people,” West said in a recent interview with BuzzFeed. “There are people that want to know what’s going on here, and I believe that folks still believe that I’m a trusted voice.”
It has been five months since West left Congress. When the one-term former congressman and face of the 2010 tea party wave lost in a close and extraordinarily expensive contest last November to a young Democrat named Patrick Murphy, Democrats were gleeful. But he did not leave quietly. He fought with the courts and election officials for two weeks before conceding, and at the time, the congressional press corps joked that West might continue to show up for work in the Capitol even if he lost. 
That’s kind of what ended up happening.
Three weeks ago, West returned to D.C. full-time, moving into an apartment near Capitol Hill. He stays in D.C. Monday through Friday, returning to Florida on the weekends to spend time with his family. He’s made multiple appearances on Capitol Hill, only this time he’s there as the director and star of an online TV show, NextGeneration.Tv, a project of the conservative PJ Media company. The show is the latest attempt at drawing a younger conservative audience to political programming, and PJ Media hired young pundit Michelle Fields to work as a host and correspondent alongside West.
this seems to be a dependable thing, be a right wing off the hook fire breather try and out hate, over do it get ostracized by your constituents, then get a TV show, usually with FOX but maybe he was to inflammatory for Fox when the right wing is trying to remake it's nature and wink, wink "values.
So does West, who paints himself as a consummate D.C. outsider, see any conflict with the fact that he’s selected Washington to be his primary residence even now that he’s out of office?
“No, absolutely not,” he said. “When the big guy at PJ Media talked to me” — West will not say who exactly approached him — “about coming on with them, and he kind of laid out what he wanted me to do, I told him, you can’t cover Washington D.C. and the political scene from [PJ Media headquarters in] Los Angeles. So they made the decision to invest here, and put the resources here, and as you can see we’re in a beautiful building, we’re in the shadow of the Capitol, so you can’t have a better spot.”
this PJ place has got to be the second dumbest business media in the world, anything he comes up with will be tainted by his record of hyperbole remember "there are 81 democrats in congress that are communist"?
just one and hi mama issues revealed by his disrespectful attacks against women, oh that's right he was still a soldier in the war against women during those rants.
will anyone talk to him as another right wing proaganda source or will they not want to have their names connected with his especially while trying to change the way the talk but keeping the same bigoted, racist, hate "VALUES"?
