after the “twitter files” broke in early december, ex-prez trump said this kind of “massive fraud” would warrant “the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the constitution”
the atlantic wasn’t pleased. trump’s only patriotic when it’s convenient for him. he doesn’t care about the constitution or his country. he only cares about himself
neither was a washington examiner op: if you want to destroy the constitution, you shouldn’t get to hold public office. republican lawmakers need to denounce trump, asap
this blogger also thinks the gop’s gotta dump trump soon: trump’s remarks about the constitution are insane. he’s hurt the conservative cause
gop lawmakers *did* rebuke trump’s remarks. senator mitt romney called trump a “rino”, and senator lisa murkowski said trump was betraying the nation
but rep paul gosar expressed support in a (now deleted) tweet: “unprecedented fraud requires unprecedented cure”
national review denounced trump too: pay attention, america! trump’s entering dictator territory. we cannot elect a president who doesn’t respect the results of a verified election
after the outcry, trump spoke again: the media was spreading disinfo -- he never really wanted to end the constitution. he was just wanted the “fraudulent” election results be fixed
a fox news op: no disinfo here -- trump def said he wanted to terminate the constitution. the media loves to demonize trump. but this time, trump’s own words are doing most of the legwork
wsj ed board: yup! no use denying it, don. trump’s offering the gop a preview of what’ll happen if they give him the nomination in 2024. he’ll ruin the republican party
the texas tribune reports that senator ted cruz still blames the press, tho. he admits what trump said is wrong, but the media should be reporting on real issues -- not trump’s social media posts
and a letter to the nyt kinda agrees: trump’s probably posting this kinda stuff for media coverage. the guy probably just wants attention. let’s stop giving it to him
waitaminute, what are these twitter files anyway? see our tile on here
