What in the world is going through what passes for U.S. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s mind?
The nimrod Man of the House says he is considering whether to “expunge” the House record of its two impeachments of Donald J. Trump.
So, I am sitting out here in the middle of Flyover Country wondering: How in the world does that make a lick of sense? It doesn’t!
Expunging the record will not suddenly cleanse our memories of what happened. Trump had a “perfect phone call” with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in which he asked him for a “favor,” which was to find dirt on Joe Biden. No can do, said the House, which impeached him for seeking political help from a foreign government.
Then came the1/6 insurrection. The House impeached him again for inciting the assault on our nation’s Capitol with the aim of stopping the certification of the 2020 presidential election result and for his refusal to stop the assault as it was unfolding.
Historians will continue to record the events that led to the two impeachments. Americans — such as you and I — will remember them, too.
Ain’t no way to remove that stain from the presidency that Trump occupied.
Good, ever-lovin’ grief, man!
