This abhorrent behavior is what access journalism has wrought. By allowing Trump to continue his onslaught without consequence, he is emboldened as all bullies are. Though I am not blaming the targeted journalists, the PRESS writ large is complicit in Trump's rise as much as Congressional Republicans. Time to stop writing him off, whining and start calling a spade a spade in every headline and every article.

I liked your tweet about Trump hiding in the basement while Biden was out talking to protestors. Heck, even Nixon had the courage to do that. I remember how bizarre it was when he went out at night to visit students protesters camping out at the Lincoln Memorial. He actually had a civilized discussion with them.

You know we’ve sunk really low when our current president is outclassed by Nixon.

Nixon is being mentioned for being willing to meet with protesters. Does anybody remember his pleasure in violence against protesters and journalists? And that he incited them?

The republican party has been perpetrating a fascist coup for more than half a century. I hope we are not awakening to that too late.
