Fox News<\/a> posted an article recently about an idea being suggested by some Democrats to form a South Africa-style Truth and Reconciliation Commission after President Trump leaves office.<\/p>\n

The article notes:<\/p>\n

Former Labor Secretary Robert Reich tweeted Saturday that such a commission would “erase Trump\u2019s lies, comfort those who have been harmed by his hatefulness, and name every official, politician, executive, and media mogul whose greed and cowardice enabled this catastrophe.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sounds like granting permission to the ‘cancel culture.’ This sounds more like revenge than like moving the country forward.<\/p>\n

The article quotes author JD Vance, who appeared on the Tucker Carlson show last night:<\/p>\n

Vance added that the idea would not only damage the country, but shows how “whiny” liberal Democrats still are about Hillary Clinton’s 2016 election loss.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Instead of trying to win the next election and moving on with the life of American democratic politics, they want to go backward and punish everybody,” Vance said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s a pretty safe bet that creating a Truth and Reconciliation Commission would further divide the country–not unite it.<\/p>\n
