What Bob Dole Hath Wrought
President Donald Trump’s unwillingness to concede the election is bad news for many reasons. One is that it all but guarantees that some portion of his followers will refuse to recognize the Biden administration’s legitimacy—just as some people did not recognize the Trump administration’s legitimacy, or the Obama administration’s legitimacy before it. President-elect Joe Biden is promising a return to normalcy, but the perception by some substantial part of the electorate that the American president is illegitimate is no longer an aberration in American politics. It is normal. This may have all started with Bob Dole.

Tucker: No honest person could believe the Trump raid was a legitimate act of law enforcement
close Video Tucker Carlson: The Mar-a-Lago raid was a power grab Fox News host Tucker Carlson shreds the FBI's raid on former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago home on 'Tucker Carlson Tonight.' NEW You can now listen to Fox News articles! We've had a few days to reflect on it and have concluded that no honest person could believe that the raid on Donald Trump's home last week was a legitimate act of law enforcement. It was not. Even the Biden administration didn't really bother to pretend otherwise. The official explanations that we have heard for the raid make no sense at all. It doesn't matter how forcefully they are repeated by the media, they're nonsensical. In case you've forgotten what they are, here's the very first explanation they gave us. MICHAEL BESCHLOSS, HISTORIAN: Why did this guy have these ultra-classified documents in the basement of Mar-a-Lago unsecured, where they could be presumably broken in on or stolen or … [Read more...] about Tucker: No honest person could believe the Trump raid was a legitimate act of law enforcement
