CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY MAY 21, 2020
THE LATEST BUT SURELY NOT THE LAST ATTACK ON PRESIDENT TRUMP IS AGAINST HIS SECRETARY OF STATE, MIKE POMPEO. IS HE BEING PUMMELED BY THE LEFT FOR FAILURES IN POLICY? NO, HIS SIN IS ASKING SOMEONE ON STAFF TO WALK HIS DOG AND PICKUP HIS DRY CLEANING.
DO WE REALLY THINK A SECRETARY OF STATE SHOULD BE DOING THESE THINGS HIMSELF? THE WASHINGTON POST – NATURALLY – SAYS HE’S SPENDING TAXPAYER MONEY HOSTING DINNERS FOR SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE AND ONLY REPUBLICAN MEMBERS OF CONGRESS. THE HORROR!
THIS IS THE TYPE OF PETTINESS THAT HAS TURNED SO MANY PEOPLE AGAINST WASHINGTON. THE CITY HAS BECOME DYSFUNCTIONAL, FROM ITS CITY GOVERNMENT TO ITS FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. AND THE PRESS HAS SQUANDERED ANY INTEGRITY IT ENJOYED WHEN I WAS STARTING OUT IN THE BUSINESS, SURROUNDED BY REAL JOURNALISTS WHO WERE COMMITTED TO REPORTING THE NEWS, NOT SLANTING IT TO PROMOTE THEIR BIASES.
THERE WILL BE MORE OF THIS – MORE INVESTIGATIONS BY THE DEMOCRAT MAJORITY HOUSE, MORE “REVELATIONS” BY A MEDIA THAT MOSTLY WANTS THIS PRESIDENT REPLACED AND LESS CONFIDENCE IN WASHINGTON AND ITS INSTITUTIONS. SOMEWHERE THE FOUNDERS ARE SHAKING THEIR HEADS. I’M CAL THOMAS.
