is king among the blind... (yeah, i know but you get the point).
from Face the Nation:
"I think some of our democratic freedoms and the principles we live by have been under attack for the better part of two years," said Democratic Rep.-elect Joe Neguse (CA).
Anchor Margaret Brennan turned to Crenshaw to ask if he wanted to respond to Neguse's assertion, saying with suggestive emphasis, "since the president is the leader of your party."
Crenshaw gladly accepted the invitation. "I always ask the question: Like what?" he said. "Like what is he undermining exactly? What democratic freedoms have been undermined? We just had an election where we switched power in the House. Democracy is at work. People are voting in record numbers. I always ask for examples. And then we can hit those examples one by one, and if it's worth criticizing, it's worth criticizing. But this broad brush criticism that the president is somehow undermining our democracy, I always wonder like, what exactly are we talking about?"
"I'd be happy to add all of the things," interjected Democratic Rep.-elect Chrissy Houlahan (PA), as Crenshaw's fellow panelists talked over each other. As one of their answer, she and Neguse charged that Trump is "undermining the free press," Houlahan also listing "the CIA, FBI, the voting process."
"Well, how has he done that?" Crenshaw asked in response to their first argument about the free press. "Obama had...many press members under investigation. Trump has not," Crenshaw correctly pointed out. "So what is the difference here?"
Neguse's best response was that Trump had temporarily suspended Jim Acosta's hard press pass for being "rude" and "placing his hands" on an intern when she tried to retrieve the mic he was refusing to give up.
"One reporter. Not the whole news organization," Crenshaw responded.
Anyone got an actual answer to Mr. Crenshaw's request for clarification? I know many posters here are seemingly terrified of Trump, but for 2 years the guy has failed to negatively impact your lives outside of the usual discomfort one would experience upon leaving a cult of presidency.
So, who among the blazing scalps has the eloquence today to detail the which and how fow what is being inferred to above by Joe Neguse?
