The Senate is beginning another impeachment trial of President Trump this week. It is a complete waste of time. After 45 senators voted to declare the impeachment trial of a private citizen unconstitutional, the odds of conviction are virtually zero.
The purpose of this sham trial is simply to smear Donald Trump and make it impossible for him to run again. Liberals are hoping to demoralize millions of his 74 million supporters. The left has been involved in a non-stop effort that accelerated on January 6th to do exactly that.
Since President Trump has been silenced by our leftist social media giants, I want to speak out for him and point out that almost everything he is being accused of is not only untrue, but the left is itself guilty of those very charges. For example:
Progressives are accusing Trump of inciting violence. He did not. He encouraged his supporters to march and protest peacefully.
There has been plenty of violence over the last four years, and most of it came from the political left. The summer riots were stoked in part by the rhetoric of the left. Government buildings were attacked by leftists, and liberal politicians tried to stop Trump from sending federal law enforcement agents to protect them. Antifa was marching through Washington, D.C., this weekend threatening to "burn it down," even though Donald Trump is gone.
When left-wing protesters tore down historical monuments, Speaker Pelosi shrugged and practically defended them, saying, "People will do what they do."
The left accused Trump of promoting conspiracy theories. Well, the left promoted the debunked Russian collusion conspiracy theory for four years. They falsely accused Trump of using the Post Office to stop mail-in votes. They accused him of trying to reverse the results of the election. That's what the left has been doing ever since November of 2016!
Unable to directly prove collusion, many on the left claimed that Russia interfered in the 2016 election in a meaningful way because they bought some ads on social media. But communist China actually did interfere in the 2020 election in a meaningful way. And when the intelligence community wanted to point it out, leftists entrenched in the Deep State blocked the report.
One final point. Liberals are claiming that under Donald Trump, America lost the moral high ground. To the contrary, Trump kept his promises and did exactly what he said he would do.
He took serious steps to secure the border. He moved the U.S. embassy in Israel to Jerusalem. He crushed ISIS, and confronted communist China, Iran and Russia.
It is the left that is attempting to knock America off the moral high ground by claiming our country was founded on racism and genocide. Just last week, Joe Biden said that we have never lived up to our promise.
