Democrats: They, not Trump, are trampling on Constitution
A Democrat said to me, “We have to get rid of Trump before he destroys the Constitution.” I couldn’t speak. I should’ve asked what clause.
Our First Amendment right of free speech? No, the Democrats have already destroyed that with campus riots, shouting people out of restaurants, and people in black hoods beating us up.
Our Second Amendment right to bear arms? We’re one of the top countries in gun violence, but subtract five Democrat-run cities and we’re near the bottom.
Democrats tell us that if we take all the guns away from farmers and law-abiding citizens outside those cities, we’ll stop gun violence. Fat chance. Show us how you did it in Chicago.
The Sixth Amendment, the right to face your accuser, present witnesses, and be represented by counsel? Any proceeding where the accuser doesn’t appear should be dismissed. Check the impeachment hearings; we don’t even know who the whistleblower is.
Our rights of due process and freedom from unreasonable search and seizure? The Democrats pay no attention to this. No record is safe. Special Counsel Robert Mueller wrecked the client-attorney privilege.
Who’s destroying the Constitution? Not President Trump.
