The article critiques Donald Trump's pardoning of individuals who violently attacked police officers during the Capitol riot, challenging the Republican Party's law-and-order narrative. It emphasizes the absurdity of reconciling Trump’s actions with the party's claims of supporting law enforcement. The piece dismisses comparisons to Joe Biden's pardons, asserting a clear moral distinction given the nature of the crimes involved. Ultimately, the article suggests that the irrationality of these political events might have little impact on voter allegiance or party perceptions.
But sometimes events demand a straightforward response. To wit: Do you think it's OK to attack a police officer by plunging a stun gun multiple times into his neck?
President Donald Trump seems just fine with the above, a tiny fraction of the crime spree committed when a swarm of rioters overran the Capitol in a violent bid to overturn the 2020 presidential election.
How's that for Making America Safe Again, as was promised throughout his White House bid? Going forth, any candidate who campaigns under the banner of Trump's Republican Party...should be made to reconcile that asserted stance.
If American campaigns were logical, this would be a huge problem for Republicans.
