“It’s obvious the Trump administration has no use for the Constitution whatsoever,” one attendee said, asking Clyburn about the Trump administration’s immigration efforts and suggesting he feared US-born citizens could be next. “What can Congress do to put a stop to this nonsense coming out of the White House?”
Clyburn gave a lengthy response, including reading out the 14th Amendment and emphasizing the importance of hosting congressional town halls and speaking to voters across the country.
The congressman then asked the crowd to pray that the US “will not allow itself to go the way of Germany in the 1930s.”
When the goal was stopping Hitler, Stalin was a friend of the West. Sure that friendship ended when Hitler did, but adversity makes strange bedfellows.
Don’t let ideological infighting prevent us from fighting MAGAts.
That’s not an apt analogy, since the coronation of Status Quo Joe and his appointment of Garland were big parts of why Trump was allowed back.
If not for Clyburn and SC, there’s no way the rest of the party leadership would have coalesced behind Biden, one of the 3 WORST of a ridiculously crowded field of candidates.
Might have been Bernie. Might have been Warren. Hell, even fucking KLOBUCHAR would have been better than the arrogant habitual liar with pre-dementia Clyburn and company foisted on a constantly gaslighted populace.
