Newsmax host Carl Higbie went on a tirade on Friday after former President Donald Trump was convicted by a Manhattan jury the day before.
The presumptive Republican presidential nominee was found guilty 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 Republican freakout has been swift if not predictable. Despite their outrage and indignation, some conservatives insist that being a convicted felon will help Trump’s chances of returning to the White House in November’s election.
During Friday’s edition of Frontline on Newsmax, Higbie demanded congressional Republicans drop everything and go after those involved in Trump’s prosecution.
Let’s take a step back from that provocation and look at the bigger picture.
I’m not saying succumb to bullies, but whatever you do, be smart about it.
It’s their fantasy that they’ll go into the ‘city’ to take it over. Let them. Downtown is mostly social services in major cities, maybe some healthcare or a large teaching hospital. They’ll quickly realize that pointing guns at homeless people isn’t very productive.
The vast majority of people live in suburbs, don’t care about politics, don’t follow the news.
Revenge fantasies are always stupid. Modern cities are vast tracks of cookie-cutter suburban housing.
