President Elect Yoon Announces that One Time Rival Ahn Cheol-soo Will Lead Transition Committee

It looks like Ahn Cheol-soo’s reward for ending his campaign and supporting Yoon Suk-yeol is that he will get to have a big vote on who joins the new government:

President-elect Yoon Suk-yeol named his candidacy merger partner Ahn Cheol-soo chairman of the transition committee Sunday, making the first step to take over the administration and set the agenda for the next five years.

Yoon also tapped his campaign chief, Rep. Kwon Young-se of the People Power Party (PPP), as vice chairperson of the committee, and appointed former Jeju Gov. Won Hee-ryong, who served as policy chief of the campaign, as the committee’s planning chief.

Ahn, who heads the minor People’s Party, dropped out of the presidential race at the last minute to support Yoon under a candidacy merger deal. The two said at the time that they will work together in forming the transition committee and the government.

“We share the same values and philosophy about running state affairs,” Yoon said of Ahn’s appointment at a press conference at the PPP headquarters in Seoul. “Ahn has a will to lead the committee and I also believe he is the right person.”

As long as he doesn’t put Ahn in charge of covid policy.

The guy has no idea how to stop a virus.

As long as he doesn’t put Ahn in charge of covid policy.

He is already in charge of the new government’s Covid policy.

Isn’t it what you anti-vaxxers and anti-Covid crowd wanted all along?

Technically, no one actually knows how to stop a coronavirus. They mutate faster than leftist talking points on the internet.

So I think at this point we’re supposed to denounce ourselves as racist transphobes who support Putin or something.

But that dog don’t hunt.

Joey Leghairs’ team wants WW3 to try to “fundamentally transform America” (and then Korea) into just another ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡ like every communist country turned into.

His handlers can’t stand our liberties and freedom to tell them to shove that porcine squat right up under their white feathers.

To paraphrase Frederick Douglas’ “Four Boxes of Liberty” speech:

— Soap boxes won’t stop ’em.
— Ballot boxes won’t stop ’em.
— Jury boxes won’t stop ’em.
— Cartridge boxes won’t stop ’em.

We’re well past any “self-help remedies” stopping the downward slide.

Only if American and South Korean Christians repent and ask God to forgive us and heal our nations can we stop ’em. And only if it’s God’s will. 2 Chronicles 7:13-14 is one model.

Pray as if your country depended on it.
