Left-leaning Washington Post back at it with the outlandish claims about Trump! Now, WaPo is claiming that former President Trump must never be honored with a presidential library as the matter is an “issue of national security.” In an op-ed titled “Trump wants a library. He must never have one,” Philip Kennicott says that Congress must immediately intervene to be sure the 45th president is never honored and his name is scrubbed from the history books.
The Daily Wire reports:
Bemoaning the fact that the National Archives has already launched the Donald J. Trump Presidential Library website, Kennicott opines that there has been a “larger scam that has become attached to the presidency: the use of presidential libraries and museums to entrench perpetual fundraising and hagiography as a permanent part of every post-presidential career.”
Kennicott cites a Politico article that asserted an attempt by Trump to build a presidential center would likely fail, then surmises, “But that doesn’t mean that Trump won’t try and that, in trying, cause further damage to the country.” Kennicott urges Congress “to reconsider the legislation that helped create and shape the presidential libraries now administered by the National Archives” adding that Trump’s intention of “perpetrating one last, giant grift … makes this urgent, even an issue of national security.”
Kennicott again warns of the “danger” of a Trump presidential library: “The danger of Trump using a presidential library to burnish his image is far more serious, with the ex-president and his surrogates still promoting the idea that his electoral loss was somehow fraudulent. That creates an ongoing uncertainty in American public life, which Trump and even more unscrupulous actors will use to further division, inflame tension, exacerbate racism and delegitimize the American democratic system.”
He also calls for public “sham[ing]” of anyone who would agree to work on the library: “Americans should shame anyone — including architecture firms, exhibit designers and corporate donors — who helps Trump perpetuate the lies that nearly destroyed our 244-year-old effort to create a democratically governed republic.”
Kennicott openly condoning insidious cancel culture shows just how wayward WaPo has gone. Clearly, WaPo is all in on the left’s message for unity and healing.
