NJ INSIDER: Don't Cut Trump the Slack We Cut Jefferson Davis

[Montauk6]

Presidents’ Day 2021 was established in 1885 to honor George Washington, who as our nation’s first president established the pattern and practice of a peaceful transition of power that endured up until Donald Trump and his January 6 insurrection that left five people dead including Capitol Police Officer and New Jersey native Brian Sicknick.

Forty-three Republican U.S. Senators voted on Saturday to acquit former President Donald J. Trump of inciting the insurrection that was witnessed in real time by the entire world on live TV.

Last month, 197 House Republicans, including New Jersey Reps. Chris Smith and Jeff Van Drew, voted against impeaching Trump for the second time.

It’s important to contextualize their abdication with the reality our nation is in the throes of a mass death event likely to kill a half-million Americans and infect 30 million with a life-threatening killer virus by the end of the month as food and shelter insecurity spreads across the land.

1. I agree. At least Lee eschewed confederate remembrances at funerals, cemeteries & monuments.

Many of the rest continued to incite until death and even thereafter with the "South Will Rise Again" philosophy.
