VDH: The ‘Donald Trump Is Evil’ Routine Isn’t Going to Cut It Anymore

 Victor Davis Hanson

. . ."So, something is missing here. And I think I know what it is. If you do not have a coherent, positive message—and the Democrats don’t—and you keep haranguing and trying to smear and slander and talk about killing the president of the United States, then people are going to lose confidence here. And that’s what’s happened in California with Mayor Karen Bass, Gavin Newsom. And it’s happening on a national scene." . . .


. . ."Then we had our own senator here in California, Alex Padilla. He deliberately did not wear his identification. In fact, nobody knows him. If I saw Alex Padilla on television, I wouldn’t know he was our senator. He’s never done anything. But nevertheless, he had no identification. He heard that Kristi Noem, secretary of homeland security, was gonna have a press conference. He barges in. He disrupts it. He tries to make a scene. And what happens? The Secret Service doesn’t know who he is either, so they restrain him. And then he becomes a folk hero with his street performance. 
"Unfortunately for Padilla, he thought it would be a Sen. Cory Booker moment. Remember Cory Booker—25 hours to filibuster nothing? There was no impending law. It was just “Donald Trump is evil” for 25 hours. He thought he would get the same media attention. But unfortunately, there was the “No Kings” parade and the war in Iran, and nobody really knew much about what he had done, other than he’d made a complete fool out of himself. 
"And then we had this No Kings parade. And it was really funded by multibillionaire left-wing donors, like Christy Walton, one of the heirs, by marriage, to the Walton fortune; #MeToo; all of these groups." . . .

Even CNN Calls Padilla Takedown STAGED and FAKE!   Notice in the video as he is pushed against a wall, his eyes seek out the camera. Right on cue and in the fullness of time, Democrats posture eloquently and emotionally. This had to be worked out beforehand and I feel shame on American politicians and their wretched sense of honor. TD
