Without impeachment, Democrats revert back to political correctness
WASHINGTON . It seems that President Donald Trump is in trouble. Again. And as always, it’s over something he said. The president is understandably tired of political correctness and Democrats in general. That’s particularly true of the Disloyal Opposition’s efforts to twist former Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s nothing burger of a Russia-collusion report into a smoking gun. Which, of course, requires Trump’s impeachment.
Mueller’s poor performance in his testimony before Congress last Wednesday actually convinced more than a few media talking heads that impeachment is all but dead.
Begging for an audience
Rep. Cummings joins with Democrat leaders to ask Americans to pay attention to their Trump/Russia narrative. PBS Newshour screen capture.
But try to tell that to Baltimore Rep. Elijah Cummings. Cummings held a press conference to toss what can only be described as a “Hail Mary pass.” He frantically urged the folks in flyover country to “pay attention to what is going on” regarding his party’s baseless call for Trump’s impeachment.
Cummings’ desperate plea follows the clear demise of the Russia-collusion narrative pushed by Democrats and the media for more than two years. As he did with Hillary Clinton in 2016, Trump has handily beaten the Democrat/media industrial complex at its own game.
Uncovering the origins of the Russia hoaxMeanwhile, Attorney General William Barr delves deeper into the origins of the Russia-collusion hoax. His focus will shift to where the focus should have been all along. Namely, the Obama administration’s shaky justification for launching a counterintelligence operation against a rival political party’s presidential campaign. The resulting domestic spying operation used opposition research provided by Hillary Clinton, a British secret agent, and his Kremlin sources as its centerpiece.
The Tweets that shook the worldAnd that brings us back to what Trump said. It was decidedly lacking in political correctness.
The president reminded Cummings that his obsession with impeachment has consistently neglected his constituents. Today, most of them find themselves back in Hell’s little half-acre, missing out on the rewards of the robust Trump economy. These poor souls reside in Maryland’s 7th Congressional District in Baltimore, a city whose murder rate FBI estimates put at roughly 56 per 100,000. That’s one of the highest death tolls and murder rates among America’s big cities. Another presidential tweet embedded a video by conservative commentator Kimberly Klacik. She’s an African-American member of Baltimore County’s Republican Central Committee . The video illustrates the squalid conditions in West Baltimore. They more closely resemble conditions in hellholes like Mogadishu, Somalia than what we should see in a historic American city like Baltimore. After all, this is the city whose stand against the British in the War of 1812 inspired our national anthem.
