… but a defensive reaction. Here’s Erick Erickson:
Donald Trump has fired Colleen Shogan, the Archivist of the United States.
He’s impressed by Ms Shogan’s “defiance” of President Biden when it came to the ERA count. And so…
This was a mistake. Donald Trump just fired the woman who stood up to Joe Biden and also who made veterans a priority for the National Archives. The Archivist should be a non-partisan position precisely because of the pressure brought by Joe Biden, and Ms. Shogan showed she had the fortitude to defy political pressure.
And it’s all in the last sentence, because President Trump cannot tolerate dissent, not even potential dissent. After all, dissent has to start somewhere, and dissent will be the origin of his downfall, so you gotta stamp it out wherever it’s located, even if it’s not active.
I’m unsure as to whether Erickson doesn’t understand his broken President Trump, or is merely covering up.
