Sanders and Tillis Top This Week’s Washington Head-Scratchers
I used to think I was losing my hair because of genetics. Now I believe the hair loss stems from the hours spent scratching my head over the behavior of our political leaders.
Let’s run through a couple examples from this week.
On Monday, Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., announced he would not support Ed Martin’s nomination to be U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, effectively killing the crime fighter’s bid. Why? Because Martin, the interim U.S. attorney, has shown support for Jan. 6 defendants while Tillis believes anyone who entered the Capitol that day should be locked up.
Yep, even the peaceful folks who were ushered inside by Capitol Police, took a couple selfies, marveled at the beauty of the Rotunda, and left.
Tillis’ “nada” on Martin forced President Donald Trump to pull his nomination Thursday.
Here’s the head-scratcher: Martin’s 120-day interim appointment runs out May 20. If no one else had been nominated then, as The Federalist lays out, radical Trump-hating Judge James Boasberg may well have appointed the next U.S. district attorney. That means another leftist like the J6-obsessed U.S. Attorney Matthew Graves, who let the streets of the Nation’s Capital run red with blood while vigorously pursuing anyone within shouting distance of the Capitol on Jan. 6.
Was Tillis happy to let average citizens in........
