Republicans allowed Democrats and their media allies to waste years of President Trump’s first term with the fake Russiagate hoax. As Democrats are once again waving the Russia canard, we can’t afford to make that same mistake again.
Let’s start with the facts. First and foremost, no president has done more to stand up to Russia and their allies in China and Iran than President Trump. Anyone attempting to call that into question is simply ignoring the facts.
Secondly, there is no equivalence between Donald Trump Jr, a successful private citizen, and Hunter Biden, a drug addict who was subpoenaed following a litany of well-documented evidence that he was directly selling access to his dad’s administration.
Don Jr is a private citizen and businessman. Like any other law-abiding American, he has the right to invest in companies. Despite the baseless media attacks, there is no evidence that Don has ever sold access to the President, abused his relationship on behalf of his business partners, or broken any law.
I couldn’t care less who throws a private citizen a wedding after-party. Subpoenas of presidential family members must pass a high bar. We can’t let the Senate become a partisan tool used to harass private citizens in pursuit of political points. Republicans must learn the lessons of the past, we can’t fall prey to Russiagate 2.0.
