Correcting What “Everybody Knows” About President Trump, by Robert G. Marshall

By Robert G. Marshall, Catholic Culture, Nov 08, 2024

Bob Marshall served 26 years in the Virginia House of Delegates and was the chief House sponsor of the 2006 voter-approved Virginia Marriage Amendment and a ban on late term abortion. He recently wrote Reclaiming the Republic: How Christians and Other Conservatives Can Win Back America (TAN Books). Previously, he co-authored Blessed are the Barren, a social history of Planned Parenthood (Ignatius Press). …

Editor’s Note: This extensively-researched article by Bob Marshall demonstrates that a great many of the anti-Trump political claims in the media over the past several years have been based on either half-truths or outright lies. Especially in light of Phil Lawler’s post-election commentary just two days ago (Saving the world from democracy), Bob Marshall’s analysis of the questions surrounding President Trump’s allegations of fraud in the 2020 presidential election (and other related topics, such as the disturbances at the Capitol) provides needed data to clarify the record. It should remind everyone how important it is—and particularly so for Christians—to draw conclusions based on solid evidence, and to be continuously aware of how little of the truth is told in the media controlled by our dominant culture today. This analysis offers a very valuable lesson about public discourse in a society in flight from truth (which, after all, is simply the mind’s grasp of reality).—Jeff Mirus

Voters in the 2024 elections told NBC News’ Exit Poll that among five issues, 34% “said democracy mattered most” over other concerns, while 31% picked the economy, 14% abortion, 11% immigration, and just 4% foreign policy. But if voters nationwide picked Democrat candidates to remedy the supposed ills of democracy as identified by VP Kamala Harris and members of the Congressional Committee investigating the January 6, 2021 Capitol civil disturbance, they chose exactly the wrong group of candidates to remedy the situation.

Here’s why:

The rationale of the Democrat Party’s claim as the self-appointed protector of American “democracy” is that Donald Trump intended to somehow undermine “democracy” through allegedly fomenting insurrection and sedition on January 6, 2021 at the nations’ Capitol by sending masses of rebels to disrupt the Electoral College count of presidential electors. The Democrats followed this in a fit of outrage with a second Impeachment of Donald Trump.

The background for this pretense can be found by examining the imaginative legal “reasoning” in H. Res 24 (the Articles of Impeachment) and the conclusions of the J6 Committee report against Donald Trump.

The second 14th Amendment Impeachment ploy, which some still thought they could revive should Donald Trump be declared the winner of the November 5 election, was the culmination of a Democrat led effort to use the state and federal judicial systems to keep Trump off the 2024 presidential ballot (see The Case Against Trump: A Guide). These efforts included ….
