    Default Victor Davis Hanson on Gaetz

    VDH

    Weaponizing the DOJ by performance-art swat home raids on opponents, and collusion lawfare waged by local, state, and federal indictments against a former president and presidential candidate were un-American.

    Asymmetrical prosecutions and FBI fusion with social media to censor the news were sheer government anarchy.

    There are legitimate questions about the confirmability of Matt Gaetz, or his prosecutorial experience, or some of his alleged past excesses, but his very accusers were mostly quiet about the weirdos, creeps, and revolutionaries in the Biden administration—accused of stealing women’s luggage at airports, or lying that a subordinate “racist” border patrol whipped in slave-master fashion innocent would-be immigrants, or trying to fix a felonious presidential son’s sentencing to avoid the accustomed legal consequences of his criminal behavior.

    then dumb and silent we may be led,

    Maybe that's the plan. I'm sure a lot of things will come to light ... not just about Gaetz.

    But these would be stupid wars. He is utterly unqualified and trying to jam him through when anyone should know that the votes won't be there is creating animosity when the we're supposed to be on the same side is counterproductive.
