Rep. Matt Gaetz has been one of the president’s most vocal supporters in Congress and often gets directly to his point, even if it is thinly veiled in coded language. So, again, it should come as no surprise that Gaetz has echoed President Trump’s calls for “law and order” while simultaneously falsely characterizing the diverse protesters who are demanding equality and accountability as a “mob” hell-bent on the destruction of the very country they are trying to improve.
Domestic Terrorist, 17 year-old Kyle Rittenhouse of Antioch, Illinois, was arrested near his home, about 20 miles from Kenosha, Wisconsin, and charged with murder. Last night in Kenosha he shot and killed two protesters while injuring a third. However, there are some key questions that remain unanswered as this case is investigated.
Last Friday, Postermaster General Louis DeJoy testified before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee regarding the United States Postal Service (USPS) operations and the upcoming election. This morning DeJoy, along with the USPS Board of Governors Chairman Robert M. Duncan, testified before the House Committee on Oversight and Reform.
“Postmaster General Louis DeJoy testified this morning before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee on the postal service’s operations. He was called to testify regarding the operations of the United States Postal Service (USPS) during the presidential election this November. There have been widespread complaints and concerns about delays in mail service, the removal of collection boxes, the reduction of overtime hours for postal workers, and the disconnection of high-capacity sorting machines.”
“Joe Biden noted that while he is the Democratic candidate, he will be an American president. He appealed to the best of us and the things that we most have in common. Biden pointed to the election as a time of real peril that can open a realm of possibilities. He characterized the election as “life-changing” and claimed that the results would shape America for years to come. Biden passionately claimed that this election is about, ‘Who we are as a nation and most importantly, who we want to be.’ “
“Whether the goal is to suppress Democratic votes, delay the delivery and processing of ballots, merely to cast doubt on the integrity of our elections, or something else entirely, the effect remains the same. President Trump and his administration is actively trying to create a scenario that gives them some form of legitimacy to contest the results of the November election. Even writing that sentence feels wrong, as this is no longer simply political strategy, it is criminal conspiracy, and it has been for quite some time.”
