Conservative Icon George Will Urges November Sweep: Vote Out Trump, All GOP Enablers

Longtime conservative commentator and columnist George Will says voters must do more than reject President Donald Trump in November. They need to vote against his Republican “enablers” too ― especially in the Senate.

In a column published in The Washington Post, Will talked about how Trump once urged police not to be “too nice” when making an arrest.

“His hope was fulfilled for 8 minutes and 46 seconds on Minneapolis pavement,” Will wrote, referring to the police killing of George Floyd, a Black man whose death set off a wave of protests and unrest around the nation.

Will, who quit the Republican Party in 2016 when it became clear Trump would be the party’s candidate, said the underlying problems behind the nation’s unrest predate this presidency and will still be with us when he’s gone.

“The measures necessary for restoration of national equilibrium are many and will be protracted far beyond his removal,” Will wrote

Will reminds how the evildoer Trump advocated police brutality, so he as president is responsible for much of the climate that incites this crime in Minnesota

Use this energy to register people to vote in massive numbers unlike ever in the US and vote out the GOP enablers of this reprobate Trump...This foul, vile, evil wretch of a man.

Waiting and hoping for this.
Now we need the former Whitehouse staff, Military, cabinet etc etc etc. The list is loooong. General Kelly, Tillerson and the like to step up with what the oval office was really like. Someone; Obama, Biden needs to reach out to them and ask if they can do the most important service for the country they've ever done. Go public with what the administration was really like.

George F. Will once used the idea of the social contract to attack reporting domestic violence in an editorial, wistfully longing for the days when civilized people just didn't discuss such disturbing things.

What made Will angry back in the day? Batman. When Tim Burton's film pre-empted the end of a late-running ball game, Fwilly went on Nightline and ranted about how "a second rate movie about a third rate superhero" was destroying 'Murika.

(Disclaimer: These are personal anecdotes from memory and I can't find any online source to back 'em up.)

Republicans are hazardous to your health. Cheer up, though; while their policies make you miserable, at least it will be a short, miserable life.
