Former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee writes for RealClearPolitics as follows:
There is indeed a specter haunting our country that threatens to destroy American normalcy and tear the very fabric of our Republic’s democratic way of life.
The threat is coming from the Democratic Party, which is seeking to completely subvert American law and order and use it as a tool to suppress their political opponents.
Pelosi’s apparent refusal to act on knowledge that was widely available to her in the days leading to Jan. 6, 2021, and her subsequent decision to stage what is effectively a series of show trials trying to blame President Trump for what occurred that day, proves this.
Minority Leader McCarthy says Pelosi was offered National Guard troops when the planned rally that became the Jan. 6 incursion was announced. He says she had her minions turn down the offered troops, claiming "bad optics."
