CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY JUNE 30, 2022
PROVERBS 22:1 SAYS – “A GOOD NAME IS TO BE CHOSEN RATHER THAN GREAT RICHES. THE NEW LIVING TRANSLATION SAYS, “BEING HELD IN HIGH ESTEEM IS BETTER THAN SILVER OR GOLD.”
I THOUGHT OF THAT PROVERB AS I LISTENED AND WATCHED FORMER TOP WHITE HOUSE AIDE CASSIDY HUTCHINSON’S RIVETING TESTIMONY TUESDAY BEFORE THE HOUSE JANUARY 6 COMMMITTEE.
UNDER OATH, HUTCHINSON ALLEGED BEHAVIOR BY DONALD TRUMP DURING HIS WANING DAYS IN THE WHITE HOUSE THAT WAS WORSE THAN A TANTRUM ANY CHILD HAS EVER THROWN. THESE INCLUDED THROWING HIS LUNCH AGAINST THE WALL AND BREAKING PLATES FOR THE VALET TO CLEAN UP; USING LANGUAGE THAT OUGHT TO MAKE ESPECIALLY HIS CHRISTIAN SUPPORTERS CRINGE, ASKING OTHERS TO BREAK LAWS AND – IF YOU BELIEVE THE SECOND HAND INFORMATION SHE CONVEYED – TRYING TO GET HIS DRIVER AND SECRET SERVICE PROTECTOR TO TAKE HIM TO THE CAPITOL AND JOIN THE RIOTERS.
HERE’S THE THING ABOUT GOOD CHARACTER. IF YOU HAVE IT, ALMOST NO ALLEGATION MADE AGAINST YOU WILL STICK. IF YOU DON’T HAVE IT, ANY CHARGE AGAINST YOU WILL BE BELIEVED BY SOME PEOPLE. I DON’T KNOW IF THESE STATEMENTS BY HUTCHINSON ARE TRUE OR NOT (AND HE DENIES THEM), BUT GIVEN TRUMP’S CHARACTER, MAKE YOUR OWN JUDGMENT. I’M CAL THOMAS.
