Breitbart ^ | 06/17/2022 | Pam Key

Former Nixon White House counsel John Dean said Friday on CNN’s “Situation Room” that the Republican Party has “decided it was OK to be openly authoritarian” by supporting former President Donald Trump.

Anchor Wolf Blitzer said, “Watching these current hearings nearly 50 years after your own testimony helped bring down President Nixon, do you fear what is going on now, what has happened, is actually worse than Watergate?”

A bit exaggerated.

Only the uniparty section of the rnc thinks this.

Mostly “leadership”

You make many good points.

It is so bizarre, is he really that messed up? His whole reality is 180 degrees opposite of what is real. Up is down, right is wrong and truth is a lie. What can be done with people like this? His mind has left reality or is he evil incarnate.

We already have authoritarianism. It isn’t today’s Republicans who brought it about.

Thanks.

You are correct and those are as important as any since they have the potential to ruin our children.

It’s the Democrats that have been openly authoritarian.

Textbook projection. You can tell what leftists are doing or planning by what they accuse others of doing.

Yeah, I noticed how authoritarian Republicans were during virus lock downs.(sarcasm)

The truth is, it was the democrats and the “its the science crowd” that ran around acting like little autocratic assholes.

The Constitution and the Bill of Rights be damned.

Lol because restricting Americans travel, masking, fast tracking a vaccine were all hallmarks of a conservative constitutional prez. darn, almost forgot mail in ballots and bumpstock bans. Trump should’ve studied the outcomes of Reagan compromising on the border wall and it’s resulting amnesty.
Yeah.. let’s vote for more covid like responses to the next created crisis. Freedom lost is never regained.
Funny how he hasn’t apologized and accepted his acceptance or responsibility.
It is equally disingenuous to then go on complaining about election fraud when your leadership ramped it up tenfold.
I know… go ahead and label me a never.. whatever. But I am truly a never budge on the constitution, as written.
Too bad so many people are not.
