Post-Impeachment - Affirm America

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute.

The acquittal of Donald Trump yesterday represents an opportunity for a fresh beginning – a chance to put partisanship aside in the wake of the crushing repudiation of a politically driven impeachment and in the interest of a nation much in need of unity.

Don’t hold your breath. For one thing, this is, of course, an election year. With the campaign for the White House and down ballot offices on the line, the country will be preoccupied with politics non-stop from now until November – and probably beyond.

Worse, those who have repeatedly tried to thwart Mr. Trump are not just deeply hostile to him personally. They seem determined to achieve a “fundamental transformation” of America and see him as their principal impediment. 

All we can hope for is that the impending election will mandate a course that keeps America sovereign and free.

This is Frank Gaffney.
