The Washington Swamp often likes to think they alone
run our country, with input from voters serving, at most, as a pesky
inconvenience. That’s why House Democrats and their “star witnesses”
keep claiming, day after day, that President Donald J. Trump is somehow
at odds with America’s “stated foreign policy.” By America’s, they mean
their own.
Let’s be clear: The President, duly elected by the
American people, is the one who sets the foreign policy of the United
States. Career bureaucrats and political appointees, while entitled to
their own opinions, do not. That’s how constitutional democracies work.
Yet during hours and hours of hearings that have
effectively shut down Congress this month, Americans are being treated
to just that: opinions. Every single time House Republicans ask the
witnesses for any actual evidence of crimes or impeachable offenses
committed by the President, none is offered. That’s because those crimes
don’t exist.
Today’s hearing followed the same script. Alexander
Vindman—who testified for hours on national TV—has never met the
President, said that he has no way of knowing what the President was
thinking on Ukraine, and admitted that his testimony was based on
nothing more than his own personal opinions and feelings.
America learned nothing new. A few witnesses, Vindman included, actually
confirmed the accuracy of the
White House call transcript
between President Trump and President Zelensky. Vindman even
acknowledged the corruption surrounding Burisma and that Hunter Biden
didn’t appear qualified to serve on the company’s board, leaving the
door open for a potential conflict of interest.
Most important for Americans outside the Beltway Swamp,
it’s been more than 1,000 days of Democrats’ nonstop impeachment and
investigations. Every hour wasted staging TV infomercials for the left
is another hour that Congress isn’t passing a budget, isn’t approving
USMCA to fix NAFTA for American workers, isn’t addressing our broken
immigration system, isn’t working to lower medicine prices, and isn’t
working for you.
With that in mind, here are 3 moments that tell you everything you need to know:
- Rep. Adam Schiff invents fake quotes from President Trump—again!
- Reminder: The President sets foreign policy, not unelected staff.
- President Trump: While Democrats did nothing, America created $11 trillion.
