This conservative editorial board just absolutely trashed Donald Trump

Description

The Washington Examiner isn't exactly a fount of liberalism. It's a conservative paper with a conservative editorial board. Which is what makes what that editorial board wrote about Donald Trump in the wake of Tuesday's House January 6 committee hearing all the more striking. "Former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson's Tuesday testimony ought to ring the death knell for former President Donald Trump's political career," wrote the editorial board. "Trump is unfit to be anywhere near power ever again." Which is pretty striking language. The op-ed goes on to note that Hutchinson, who served as a top aide to Trump White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, was no liberal out to get the former President but rather a conservative with experience working with the likes of Sen. Ted Cruz and Rep. Steve Scalise. The piece concludes with these paragraphs: "Hutchinson's testimony confirmed a damning portrayal of Trump as unstable, unmoored, and absolutely heedless of his sworn duty to effectuate a peaceful transition of presidential power. Considering the entirety of her testimony, it is unsurprising that Hutchinson said she heard serious discussions of Cabinet members invoking the 25th Amendment that would have at least temporarily evicted Trump from office. "Trump is a disgrace. Republicans have far better options to lead the party in 2024. No one should think otherwise, much less support him, ever again."
