Nicolle Wallace (broadcast
journalist and former communications director for President George W. Bush)
commented on November 21: “It’s gonna take a
dead Russian hooker at the bottom of the Hudson River before Republicans wake
up.”
I respectfully disagree. Faced
with indisputable DNA evidence confirming the victim’s identity, Republicans
will deny that she was Russian, deny that she was a hooker, and call into
question the very existence of the Hudson River. Despite eight bullet holes in
the woman’s chest, they will claim that she died of natural causes. The GOP
will insist that it’s all a conspiracy by the “deep state,” Hillary Clinton,
and George Soros.
If the survival of our great
democracy was not at stake, this Republican “rope-a-dope” would be hilarious.
Under the circumstances, no patriotic American is laughing.
