As I have said before, the defense team did not serve up a lesson in hypocrisy. They served up a red herring. If you do not understand the concept of a red herring, it is a statement or argument that misleads or distracts from a relevant or important question. Hypocrisy, however, is the practice of engaging in the same behavior or activity for which one criticizes another or the practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one's own behavior does not conform. The House Managers presented factual evidence and presented it within the context of the charges against the former president. The defense on the other hand attempted to show hypocrisy using numerous statements out of context and failed to show how it was either germane or led to a violent insurrection against the US government and Constitution. They failed to do this because the evidence did not exist, and thus it is a red herring not hypocrisy. The former president was categorically guilty of inciting an insurrection. <br /><br />The greatest hypocrisy today was Mitch McConnell declaring that the former president had undeniably incited an insurrection, but voted to acquit because he said the Senate did not hold the jurisdiction to hold the trial. McConnell is the person who prevented the former president from being tried during his time in office. Furthermore, McConnell’s reasoning was the moot point because the Senate had already decided that it was constitutional, and he should not have gone against the rules of the trial by just disregarding what had already been decided by the majority of the Senate.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05299122685163501819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5356114186987252972.post-64968256908249526152021-02-13T16:45:32.206-05:002021-02-13T16:45:32.206-05:00You must have missed the defense team unload all t...You must have missed the defense team unload all those videos of Democrats showing them using the same hateful language and rhetoric that they say the former president can't use. Why are they allowed to say things like "fight like hell", or to tell a crowd to get up in peoples faces, or make people feel not welcome? It's hypocrisy. The betrayal comes from both sides and shows the whole government as inept and unwilling to serve the people.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
