NYT Columnist Warns People Are Being Lulled Into False Security [View all]

Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman on Monday warned of “chilling” developments within the GOP that may have catastrophic consequences for the country.

“We are in real danger here,” Friedman told CNN’s Anderson Cooper.

Friedman said Republicans are coalescing around ex-President Donald Trump’s lies about the election while most people are being “lulled” into false security because of President Joe Biden’s lower-key competence and focus on the coronavirus pandemic.

But “our democracy is as threatened today” as it was when Trump declared his intention to run for office, said Friedman, noting how most Republicans have fallen in step with Trump’s 2020 election lies. Prominent holdouts Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) and Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) are the exceptions to the new Republican norm, he noted.
