It deal with how Republicans in Congress, members of a political party that once revered law enforcement, have turned their backs on the men and women in blue.<\/p>\n<p>For example, many of the MAGA cult among the GOP stand with the traitors who stormed the Capitol Building on 1\/6 while seeking to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. When given a chance to support the officers who defended them on that day, they turned their backs on them, declining to support recognition for their heroism.<\/p>\n<p>What the hell?<\/p>\n<p>Republicans used to campaign on &#8220;law and order.&#8221; They formerly held law enforcement in the highest esteem imaginable. They rarely opposed anything to do with helping the cops do their jobs.<\/p>\n<p>These days they accuse the FBI of &#8220;targeting&#8221; the mobsters who stormed the Capitol. A delegation of MAGA members of the House now want to conduct hearings into whether the jailed traitors are being &#8220;mistreated.&#8221; They are pushing for reforms in the corrections system.<\/p>\n<p>Why the change of heart? It must be that the traitors were seeking to install a defeated president into an office he lost legitimately through a free and fair &#8212; and legal &#8212; election.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s at least as troubling is that there is no debating this topsy-turviness with them. They stand behind their perverted notion that law enforcement suddenly has gotten corrupt. They adhere to the trash being spewed about the 1\/6 assault being a &#8220;mostly peaceful&#8221; endeavor. It was nothing of the damn sort!<\/p>\n<p>It was a full-out attack on our system of government and for any so-called responsible politician to call it otherwise is a disgraceful example of political perversion that must be stopped.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"mailto:johnkanelis_92@hotmail.com\">johnkanelis_92@hotmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n<div class=\"twitter-share\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?via=jkanelis\" class=\"twitter-share-button\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There exist almost too many examples of how modern politics has been turned on its ear that I dare not try to list them all.
