OPINION:
Following the Jan. 6 Capitol Hill chaos, Black Lives Matter activist John Sullivan was arrested for incitement, having reportedly stated — among other things — “We will pull that f___ Trump down.” This guy is not a Trump supporter, nor (obviously) were those surrounding him. They were opportunists seeking to blend in with the crowd whose complaints were of election fraud.
The FBI reports that plans for violence were in the works weeks before the protest.
Before his exposure as an activist rioter, Mr. Sullivan was interviewed on national TV, where he entranced and enthralled his interviewer with tales of those evil and violent Trump supporters. The anchor ate it up, as did a credulous audience whose thirst for political theater remains unquenchable.
Then we have those Republican cowards. The political left fabricates its own truths and then unabashedly sticks with those fabrications. In contrast Republicans retreat in embarrassed apology at the least criticism.
Goodbye, Mr. Trump. Your accomplishments (jobs, economy, border security, etc.) mean nothing. A fake and illegal impeachment is in order.
