More of this GOP rhetorical trick. Trump didn’t just refuse to accept the legitimacy of the election, he tried to actually steal it himself. The rhetoric tries to convince you that “Trump is just doing what Hillary did.” It’s all about deflection.

Hannity’s rhetorical trick (and the GOP’s) is to put the emphasis on “claims the election was stolen.” That’s creating a false equivalence. Trump didn’t just “claim the election was stolen”, he actually tried to steal it himself.

This is very disturbing. Johnson believes he hears God talking to him about taking the role of Speaker. The guy is delusional.

'Am I living in a different world?' Yes indeed. The fact that she isn't aware of the two separate Left-Right discourse worlds shows that she's trapped in hers.
