QOTD -- Harwood's Parting Message

 

“The core point he [President Biden] made in that political speech about a threat to democracy is true.  Now, that’s something that’s not easy for us, as journalists, to say. We’re brought up to believe there’s two different political parties with different points of view and we don’t take sides in honest disagreements between them. But that’s not what we’re talking about.

“These are not honest disagreements. The Republican Party right now is led by a dishonest demagogue. Many, many Republicans are rallying behind his lies about the 2020 election and other things as well. And a significant portion—or a sufficient portion—of the constituency that they’re leading attacked the Capitol on Jan. 6, violently. By offering pardons or suggesting pardons for those people who violently attacked the Capitol, which you’ve been pointing out numerous times this morning, Donald Trump made Joe Biden’s point for him.”  -- John Harwood, in a parting message today upon his sudden departure from the increasingly unwatchable CNN, which is seemingly jettisoning anyone who ever had a negative thing to say about the Malignant Loser and his party.  The veteran newsman opted to use his final moments with the network to comment on the truth of President Biden's assessment of the MAGA Republican/ Seditionist Party.  Good for him.  CNN sucks.
