It seems that we find hypocrisy a headline with every posting episode. Recent revelations by the January 6th Commission through documents, E Mails and recordings paint an ugly picture of some of our most influential leaders. Ted Cruz and Lindsey Graham both denounced the 1/6/21 riot as a terrorist attack UNTIL they talked it over with Donald Trump. Suddenly it wasn’t much more than a “tourist visit” according to one GOP member of Congress. The words are damning but the authors of those words are devastating. These are elected leaders who walked back the truth for political reasons. And more than that they lied about their “take” on the event. These are people who swore an oath to defend the country and yet they downplay thousands of screaming rioters, millions of dollars in damages to the US Capitol Building, numerous injuries to the Capitol police, a chant to “hang Mike Pence”–our then Vice President and even the death of an individual. And, all the while, a jubilant Donald Trump delayed intervening to stop the mayhem for over 3 hours. These are the same individuals who want your vote. If you want to measure how far the GOP influence extends, consider the urging of Supreme Court Justice Thomas’s wife as she supported efforts to overturn the election. And his attempt to hide documents from the 1/6/21 Commission–he was the ONLY justice to try to hide that evidence. Now Justice Thomas has the gall to call out the abortion memo “leaker” saying actions like this could compromise the integrity of the court. Well, Justice Thomas, how do you see recent actions by your family building credibility and integrity for the Supreme Court? We apologize for continually beating the hypocrisy drum. But as long as this kind of behavior is commonplace we will continue to display it.
