Raw StoryWriting for The Washington Post on Friday, conservative columnist Kathleen Parker condemned President Donald Trump, warning that his upcoming renomination convention is doomed to be a spectacle of ghoulish clowns.
The Democratic National Convention, as tightly choreographed as a Broadway production, was a four-day anthem to decency, empathy and reason, framed with heartfelt stories and a seriousness of purpose. I cant recall a more-solemn Barack Obama, who exchanged his hope-and-change template for one of direness and urgency, wrote Parker. By contrast, I imagine an array of circus acts involving non-Hollywood performers jumping through hoops of inflammatory rhetoric, like MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell and QAnon conspiracy theorist congressional candidate Marjorie Taylor Greene.
