Americans are likely to witness one of the most artful dodges in the nation’s political history.<\/p>\n

My only hope is that most Americans will see it for what it is: an effort to cover the backside of a corrupt, immoral and ignorant president who endorsed an insurrection and didn’t lift a finger to stop it when it occurred.<\/p>\n

We’ve just seen Day One of the televised hearings of the House of Representatives select committee examining the 1\/6 insurrection.<\/p>\n

Donald Trump was responsible for inciting the assault on our nation’s capital and our democratic process. I reached that conclusion long ago.<\/p>\n

We are going to hear recordings of Republican congressional leaders condemn the president’s non-response to the insurrection. They will tell us once again that Trump provoked the attack. That he is singularly responsible for the effort to overturn the 2020 presidential election.<\/p>\n

Now, though, they stand with the criminal who masqueraded as our commander in chief. How are they going to defend what clearly is the indefensible conduct of a man possessed with the burning desire to cling to power.<\/p>\n

The former POTUS’s daughter has said she endorses the view of then-Attorney General William Barr, who said Trump’s claim of “widespread voter fraud” in the 2020 election is nothing but “bullsh**.”<\/p>\n

Now we have learned that The Donald actually endorsed the chant of “Hang Mike Pence!”<\/em> that came from the traitorous mob, telling aides that the former vice president of the United States deserved to be hanged. Incredible!<\/p>\n

So, again comes the question: How in the name of democracy do the Trump toadies in government and across the land defend this individual?\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Well, there will be an effort made to deflect what we have heard and seen with our ears and our eyes. Americans of conscience must not let this deflection succeed.<\/p>\n
