Democrats are pushing this dangerously vague standard while objecting to their own remarks given new meaning from critics. Conservatives have pointed to Maxine Waters asking her supporters to confront Republicans in restaurants, while Ayanna Pressley insisted amidst the violent marches last year that “there needs to be unrest in the streets,” and Kamala Harris said “protesters should not let up” even as some of those marches turned violent. They can legitimately argue their rhetoric was not meant to be a call for violence, but this standard is filled with subjectivity.
The author Franz Kafka once wrote, “My
guiding principle is this. Guilt is never to be doubted.” Democrats
suddenly appear close to adopting that standard into the Constitution as
they prepare for a second impeachment of President Trump.
With seeking his removal for incitement, Democrats would gut not only
the impeachment standard but also free speech, all in a mad rush to
remove Trump just days before his term ends.
