CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY AUGUST 18, 2020
THERE ISN’T MUCH THAT WOULD CAUSE MEMBERS OF CONGRESS TO RETURN TO WASHINGTON FROM THEIR LATEST “VACATION,” BUT SPEAKER NANCY PELOSI IS CALLING THEM BACK TO SLAM THE POST OFFICE.
DEMOCRATS CLAIM PRESIDENT TRUMP WANTS TO SUPPRESS THE NOVEMBER 3 VOTE. THE PRESIDENT HAS SAID THE POST OFFICE CAN’T HANDLE 100 MILLION MAIL-IN BALLOTS AND THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR MASSIVE FRAUD.
LAST MAY, THE U.S. POSTAL SERVICE WARNED DOZENS OF STATES THAT THEIR DEADLINES “FOR REQUESTING AND CASTING MAIL-IN BALLOTS ARE INCONGRUOUS WITH THE POSTAL SERVICE DELIVERY STANDARDS.” ON CUE, NOTES THE WALL STREET JOURNAL, DEMOCRATS AND THE MEDIA (BUT I REPEAT MYSELF) PORTRAYED THIS AS EVIDENCE OF TRUMPIAN SABOTAGE AND VOTER SUPPRESSION.
IN FACT, IT’S THE OPPOSITE AND AN ATTEMPT BY THE POST OFFICE TO HEAD-OFF MASSIVE FAILURE. THE LETTERS WERE PLANNED BEFORE THE NEW POSTMASTER GENERAL, LOUIS DEJOY, ASSUMED HIS POST, BUT DEMOCRATS AND DEMONSTRATORS OUTSIDE HIS HOME ARE MAKING HIM THE BAD GUY.
IT’S ALL POLITICS AND THE LEFT WILL DO ANYTHING – INCLUDING CHEATING AND VOTER FRAUD – TO KEEP THE PRESIDENT FROM WINNING A SECOND TERM. I’M CAL THOMAS
