It’s interesting that the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers are using “Trump-made-me-do-it” as a defense in the Jan. 6 Capitol attack. Republicans vociferously maintain that he had nothing to do with it, and he was consequently acquitted in the second impeachment trial. Also, have the accused now disavowed all the video-documented slogans they were yelling, the flags they were waving, the running, spraying, barricade busting and attacking police officers? Was all that just a bad day, an “oops”?
They can’t have it both ways. The real conspiracy facing this country is white militants thinking they have more rights than the rest of the people, that only certain parts of the Constitution apply to them.
