Leonard Pitts is not holding anything back in this column. If we’re going to win this fight to save our democracy, we’re going to need some calm, diplomatic voices explaining just how dire this threat really is, and then we’re going to need a lot more of this!
Dear Mr. So-Called President:
...
You and other members of the Fourth Reich seem to be having difficulty understanding this. Reports from Politico and elsewhere describe you as shocked that judges and lawmakers can delay or even stop you from doing things. Three weeks ago, your chief strategist, Steve Bannon, infamously declared that news media should “keep its mouth shut and just listen for a while.”
...
What you do “will not be questioned?” Lord, have mercy. That’s the kind of statement that, in another time and place, would have been greeted with an out-thrust palm and a hearty “Sieg heil!”
…
Yet you and your coterie of cartoon autocrats think you’re going to cow them into silence and compliance by ordering them to shut up and obey? Well, as a freeborn American, I can answer that in two syllables flat.
Hell no.
If you like this kind of fighting spirit from the resistance, go click on the link and read his entire (short) column to let the Miami Herold know that you want more of this.
Resist!
