Letter: Democrats display foolishness

By Robert Kerr, Vancouver

I have recently read a book with the title “Ship of Fools.” This title is very appropriate to describe not only the Attorney General William Barr confirmation, but most recently the Mueller testimony by Barr. The continued attacks by panel Democrats was so obvious of childish political grandstanding it was just laughable.

During these “hearings” Attorney General Barr was so intellectually above the Democrats on the panel they had to go into their famous childish, rant-and-rave mentality. And then later over the hill, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi comes out and alleges that Barr lied to Congress (but of course was not specific about the allegation). That’s what Democrats do: make false allegations for political gain.

Democrats are so fearful that Attorney General Barr will uncover their dirty secrets behind the scenes of the Mueller investigation, they are scrambling to divert attention by going after Barr with false allegations. Of course this goes back to their ongoing hate of President Trump. They just cannot get over themselves that they lost the election in 2016. Well, just keep sailing on the “Ship of Fools,” and you Democrats will again lose in 2020.
