Oh, I see...so D’Souza just waited until Trump won an election to come out with his cowardly, whimpering mea culpa? Not how this works. D’Souza’s apology is worth exactly the same as his word—or for that matter, the marital vows, federal courtroom oaths, and Oath of Office his criminal patron took.

Trump is slipping farther and farther below 50%. He now leads by only 1.6%—and his vote advantage is under 2.5M. One of the narrower victories of the last 100 years of American politics, and any journalist or politico using the term mandate probably needs to retire from their profession immediately.

When right-wing scum tried to kidnap Gretchen Whitmer, Republicans made excuses. When a lunatic beat Paul Pelosi with a hammer, they made jokes. And when Trump sent a mob to attack the Capitol, they made up lies. Don’t lecture us about condemning violence.
