So-called media conservative 78-year-old George Will, who earned his reputation giving high school history lessons in his commentaries, warned the Republican Party about the hell they’ll pay in the polls for continuing to support 73-year-old President Donald Trump. Will quit the Republican Party in 2016 once he realized that Trump had won the Republican nomination. Instead of backing the GOP’s nominee, Will slammed Trump for his “grammatical incorrectness,” nitpicking over Trump’s more pedestrian use of language, something Will considers an inexcusable flaw. But once Will joined the never Trumpers, along with former Florida Gov Jeb Bush and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, the Party passed him by. Now that Trump’s dealing with the second witch hunt of his presidency, the first being the Russian hoax, Will goes to the liberal press to chastise the Republican Party.
Cited as a “long-time” conservative by liberal press, Will makes headlines now only because he’s joined the impeachment bandwagon, Washington’s collective pitchfork crowd looking to run Trump out of town. Instead of using his considerable editorial experience to enlighten his readers, Will sells out to the Democrat Party and anti-Trump press looking to keep Trump from a second term in 2020. Will can never admit that Trump exceeded all expectations for someone he considers brain-damaged, some with an undeniable disability. With all of Will’s vast wisdom, he never once questioned, or wrote about, the FBI’s counterintelligence investigation into Trump, where former President Barack Obama authorized FBI Director James Comey to investigate Trump based on former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton’s paid opposition research AKA “the dossier.” Not one peep from Will.
Will lacks the intellectual honesty because of his hatred of Trump to question the $30 million, 22-month Robert Mueller Special Counsel investigation that used 18-liberal attorneys to investigate Trump’s alleged ties to the Kremlin. Will, another sacrosanct guardian of the Constitution, watched Trump’s Constitutional rights eviscerated by the FBI, Justice Department and National Security Agency [NSA]. Now Will warns Republicans if they back Trump, they’ll have hell to pay in the 2020 polls, as if he really cares. Will slams Trump’s “betrayal” of the Kurds in Syria, showing he knows next-to-nothing about current U.S. Syrian foreign policy. If Turkey, a NATO ally, and sworn enemy of the Kurds, engages in a military operation against the Kurds, what’s the U.S. supposed to do: Go to war against Turkey? Will likes to take cheap shots as long as he retaliates against Trump.
Will no longer uses his voice at the Washington Post to educate readers, only to vent, threatening Republicans and calling names. “Trump’s gross negligence and comprehensive incompetence now increasingly impinges upon the core presidential responsibility . . . “ Will vented in the Post today. Will thinks hurling polysyllabic insults educates readers but instead shows he’s over-the-hill as columnist. If he stuck to his schoolmarm lectures in U.S. history, he’d be better off but prefers now to prove himself right about Trump. Yet Will doesn’t think that a three-year-long witch-hunt about Trump fraudulent ties with Moscow interfered with his ability to discharge his duties chief executive and commander-in-chief. While Atty. Gen William Barr and U.S. Atty. John Durham look into the witch-hunt against Trump, Will continues to hurl Democrat Party-inspired insults.
If Will wanted to shed some light on Washington’s ongoing civil war, he’d be talking about the battle now waged between Article 1 [Congress] and Article 2 [Presidency] now being played out. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), and her lieutenants, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerold Nadler (D-N.Y.) and Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) hurl subpoenas at the White House, abusing their Article 1 authority. Article 1 does not give the House the right to harass or otherwise abuse its authority tossing out unenforceable subpoenas, then accusing the White House of stonewalling. “Republicans to value their own and their institution’s dignity and exercise its power more vigorously than they profess fealty to Trump,” Will said in the Post. Will likes to lecture but forgets his role of a columnist to educate-and-inform the public.
Falling behind the times, Will now vents for his own pleasure, no longer trying to educate-and-inform his audience. If he really cared about the Constitution, he’d help his audience to understand the current war between Congress and the Executive Branch. Too blinded by his own hatred of Trump, Will rejected the Republican Party and carries the water for House Democrats working night-and-day to impeach the president. When Trump’s cleared of the latest accusations regarding his July 25 phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Will finds some other excuse to call for Trump’s impeachment. Will doesn’t know or care how the Constitutional crisis between Congress and the White House plays out. What’s known for sure is that Will’s joined Democrats in their latest attempt to get rid of Trump, all because of unfounded accusations and partisan insults.
