President Donald Trump acknowledged having called federal prosecutors in California to probe the state’s primary election results, claiming without evidence on Tuesday that his intervention resulted in Republican Steve Hilton advancing to the runoff in the gubernatorial race.
Of course he’s lying…and delusional…and losing his grip on reality…But still, the one who wouldn’t stop crowing about voter fraud openly bragging about committing election interference (whether real in its effects or not) should be cause for alarm…
There’s a growing number of people who insist we shouldn’t bother talking about trump’s crimes and that’s a bizarre trend, which we’re seeing here.
I would guess, hoping for the best, that the thinking would be not to dignify him with the platform, somewhat like not naming the criminal in a report so as to not encourage copy cats or false clout. I think some might land there in good faith, but there are times when silence just won’t do.
