COVID Tyranny And Trump — Donald Trump sent establishment heads spinning when he said, yesterday, April 13, it was the president, not the states, who had absolute authority with regard to resolving the COVID-19 crisis.
Oh, the tyranny they moaned. Oh, our liberties they whined.
Let’s see, in the Democrat-governed Philadelphia in Democrat-governed Pennsylvania, police dragged a man off a SEPTA bus for not wearing a mask. (Note SEPTA changed its policy after the video went viral. Riders are no longer required to wear masks.)
In Democrat-governed Colorado, police handcuffed a father for playing tee-ball with six-year-old daughter and frog-marched him away.
In the Democrat-governed Kentucky, police disrupted a drive-in Easter service at Maryville Baptist Church, photographing license plates and issuing quarantine orders to those who attended.
And let’s not forget Michigan. In that Democrat-governed state, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has prohibited the sale of garden supplies, transportation to second homes, and all gatherings.
Donald Trump is not the one we fear as a threat to our liberty. In these matters, a little federal intervention might actually be a good thing.
