The “Gang that Can’t Shoot Straight” just can’t help themselves. In what world would any rational and reasonably intelligent human being believe it to be politically beneficial to highlight the fecklessness of their own party?
Trump should offer to pay for these hearings immediately.
Hearings may happen because now the Dems are trying to blame Trump for the violence.
The only thing Trump is to blame for is giving them too much credit and waiting too long before reminding these Dem governors and mayors that they are part of the US and are governed under the terms of the Constitution. But I think there’s enough popular support behind him now so that if he says this, and carries it out with Federal assets, the Dems are going to be hurting. And they know this.
Heck, if these states want to secede, let them do it...legally and publicly. That is, their legislatures have got to vote on a resolution and do it. A wackjob governor or mayor cannot do it on their own. But what they really want to do is secede unofficially, install a Communist dictatorship...and still collect Federal funds.
Challenge them to be honest and secede. Otherwise, make them respect the US Constitution and guarantees and rights.
