Are our leaders mice or men?
Trump’s firing of James Comey is reminiscent of Richard Nixon’s “Saturday Night Massacre,” when he fired Archibald Cox in an attempt to obstruct justice in the Watergate investigation.
One of the key figures who stopped Nixon from escaping the long arm of the law was our own Howard Baker. He was a man of honesty and integrity who rose to the occasion when America needed him. He was an American first before he was a Republican.
Mike Pence once said he was a Christian first, a conservative second and a Republican third. He failed to mention being an American. The modern Republican politicians seem to follow in the footsteps of Pence rather than the heroic path of Howard Baker.
When a president is abusing his powers, obstructing justice and lying about it constantly, can the American people depend on the faint-hearted Bob Corker, Lamar Alexander, and Chuck Fleischmann to stand up for America? Are there any men, other than John McCain, among the Republican mice?
