“Imagine a sheriff’s deputy patrolling a very remote corner of his county.....”
Brings it home & sums it up....in all its dereliction.
I posted the transcript to draw more attention to the interview & make it easier to quote Hunt, but reading the transcript pales in comparison to listening to Hunt himself. As much as he tries to restrain himself, his emotions are close to the surface-— rage, indignation, disbelief, sorrow, and also shame.
If I counted correctly, 6 out of the 9 times Hunt says “did nothing,” he is saying “WE did nothing.”
I’m glad you posted it and thanks for the transcript. I listened to it a week ago when the audio was first posted and I downloaded the mp3 from your link and listened to it again. So, why hasn’t Fox News had Col. Hunt on to talk about this? Cowardice is the only answer I can come up with.
Yes, of course. As a former military officer perhaps Col. Hunt is more aware than most of the consequent meaning of being a president. The president represents us all. The entire nation. He is the 'head of our household' and when he sits by and lets one of his children be slaughtered by savages while he watches without lifting a finger and then lies about it so lamely that anyone can see it ... it's going to tear you up inside to know that 'we' did this.
