Jay Ambrose: Trump vs. Democrats on who is worse

Congressional Democrats have started a multi-network TV series on the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, and a federal judge has said what so many others are saying. If successful in its purpose, the wild, furious, deadly and disgusting eruption to keep Joe Biden out of the White House on the basis of voting fraud could “permanently have ended the peaceful transition of power, undermining America democracy and the Constitution.”

This is absurd. As much a horror as the riot was, there is no way the propagandized rioters could have enabled President Donald Trump to stay in office. Whatever his narcissistic villainy, he did not endanger the American future more than the iniquities of Democrats.

Courts across the nation early on found humongous evidence that Trump was F-minus erroneous in calling the presidential election a fraud. Police would have showed up at the Capitol riot even if he told them to go away. Among those he used to like, his own attorney general and other advisers let him know face-to-face that the real fraud was his yappy mouth, which he pretty much kept closed during the first three hours of watching the riot on TV.
