What the unsparing anti-impeachment op-ed by the GOP’s Ken Buck betrays
The unsparing anti-impeachment op-ed by the GOP’s Ken Buck betrays a deep loyalty to President Donald Trump and an unwillingness to accept any fault or responsibility for the events leading up to the calls for impeachment. Buck accuses Democrats of engaging in a “political assassination” of Trump and accuses the media of having a “bloodlust” for Trump’s removal from office. He suggests that Trump’s actions don’t rise to the level of an impeachable offense, and that any impeachment effort is doomed to fail in the Senate. Cumulatively, his op-ed shows a deep commitment to defending the president against any form of accountability, despite the mounting evidence of alleged wrongdoings, from the Ukraine scandal to obstruction of justice.
