So as I understand it, we finally know who to blame for the mayhem at the U.S. Capitol on January 6th, 2021.
Nikki Haley.
Nikki Haley?
Yes, when Donald Trump was speaking to a crowd of Trumpanzees the other day in New Hampshire, he repeated his lie about offering troops to prevent what happened when his minions rioted and broke into the Capitol. He offered, he said, but the Speaker of the House rejected his offer.
Speaker Nikki Haley.
“You know Nikki Haley, Nikki Haley, Nikki Haley, did you know they destroyed all of the information, all of the evidence, everything?” Trump said. “Deleted it and destroyed all of it because of lots of things, like Nikki Haley is in charge of security. We offered her 10,000 people.”
The “evidence” to which he referred was supposedly destroyed by the House committee investigating the insurrection. You remember the insurrection, a group of happy tourists who while sightseeing crapped in people’s offices and chanted “Hang Mike Pence.”
Haley could have prevented it, Trump said.
“I wasn’t even in D.C. on January 6th,” Haley said. “I wasn’t in office then.”
Of course it wasn’t Haley who Trump said was responsible for the riot. He was lying in an effort to blame House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, just another example of Trump’s increasing dementia.
But … but … but Joe Biden’s age.
Yes, Biden is older than Trump, but Biden doesn’t mistake Nikki Haley for Nancy Pelosi or vice versa.
As scary as that is, it’s the non-dementia stuff that’s really creepy. Such as when. he seems to be channeling the ghost of Adolf Hitler and calling immigrants vermin who are poisoning our blood. Or when he said Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un are both fine people.
Just the other day he called Hungarian dictator Viktor Orban — the most repressive leader in Europe — a great man.
But oh, that Nikki Haley.
She’s the evil one.
