Newsmax hostĀ Carl HigbieĀ went on a tirade on Friday after former PresidentĀ Donald TrumpĀ was convicted by a Manhattan jury the day before.
The presumptive Republican presidential nominee was foundĀ guiltyĀ on all 34 counts of falsifying business records to conceal hush money payments to cover up extramarital affairs. Trump was concerned the affairs would come to light and harm his presidential aspirations. The RepublicanĀ freakoutĀ has been swift if not predictable. Despite their outrage and indignation, some conservatives insist that being a convicted felon willĀ help Trumpās chancesĀ of returning to the White House in Novemberās election.
During Fridayās edition ofĀ FrontlineĀ on Newsmax, Higbie demanded congressional Republicans drop everything and go after those involved in Trumpās prosecution.
Letās take a step back from that provocation and look at the bigger picture.
Iām not saying succumb to bullies, but whatever you do, be smart about it.
Itās their fantasy that theyāll go into the ācityā to take it over. Let them. Downtown is mostly social services in major cities, maybe some healthcare or a large teaching hospital. Theyāll quickly realize that pointing guns at homeless people isnāt very productive.
The vast majority of people live in suburbs, donāt care about politics, donāt follow the news.
Revenge fantasies are always stupid. Modern cities are vast tracks of cookie-cutter suburban housing.
