As reported by Heather Cox Richardson:
Also on Saturday, top sports talk host Colin Cowherd pushed back on the idea that the trial was rigged, telling his listeners: “If everybody in your circle is a felon, maybe it’s not rigged. Maybe the world isn’t against you.” “Donald Trump is now a felon,” Cowherd said. “His campaign chairman was a felon. So is his deputy campaign manager, his personal lawyer, his chief strategist, his National Security Adviser, his Trade Advisor, his Foreign Policy Adviser, his campaign fixer, and his company CFO. They’re all felons. Judged by the company you keep. It’s a cabal of convicts.”
Cowherd went on: “[Trump’s] trying to sell me an America that doesn’t exist.” “Stop trying to sell me on ‘everything’s rigged, the country’s falling into the sea, the economy’s terrible,’” he continued. “The America that I live in is imperfect. But compared to the rest of the world, I think we’re doing okay.”
Look, it’s not as if Trump has ever been untruthful about being a serial fraud, our nation’s most prodigious public liar, a grabber of women’s genitalia, a two time defamer, a “civilly liable” rapist, a scammer, America’s most litigious man, an unabashed exploiter of the stupid and ambitious. He honestly paid $25,000,000 to settle a suit brought by the NY AG against his fraudulent “university” (weeks before being elected president via Electoral College), he allowed NYS to shut down his fraudulent charity and paid a $2,000,000 fine. He’s a human, he makes MISTAKES, he’s not perfect. To the religious Christians who support him he is, like King David, a flawed vessel, doing God’s will nonetheless.
I shouldn’t be so judgmental about the values of those who claim to love Christ yet believe a rapist’s unborn child has more rights than the rapist’s thirteen year-old victim. Love and empathy for everybody, isn’t that what Christ taught? Have a blessed day, as it is written.
