On Sunday, Red State<\/a> posted an article about a disturbing statement made by a member of the U.S. House of Representatives. Representative Dan Goldman, a Democrat from New York, stated in an interview with Jen Psaki that President Trump needs to be eliminated.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Our friends at our sister site, Twitchy,\u00a0picked up the comment<\/a>. Goldman was on MSNBC with Jen Psaki. They were talking about an interview former President Donald Trump had with ABC’s Jonathan Karl. In that interview, Trump told Karl that he had wanted to go up to the Capitol during the Jan. 6 riot to try to stop what was going on. But Trump said the Secret Service discouraged that. The MSNBC chyron at the bottom of the screen framed that as “New audio: Trump says he wanted to join Jan. 6 crowd,” which miscasts what Trump said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Representative Godman later tweeted an apology for ‘using the wrong word.’<\/p>\n

The article notes:<\/p>\n

So let’s see. Saying people should act “peacefully and patriotically” is inciting. But saying someone should be “eliminated” is just using the “wrong word.” That makes a lot of sense. The funny thing here is that had Trump said what Goldman said, Goldman would likely be encouraging people to try to prosecute him over it. But Goldman’s a Democrat, so of course, out comes the pass, and he apologizes, so everything is cool.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The double standard is alive and well in Washington.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
