“Condoleezza Rice, the former secretary of state, is now the director of the Hoover Institution,” writes columnist @LZGranderson for @latimesopinion. latimes.com/opinion/story/…
“Which is why out of all of the wrongheaded things she said during her appearance on ‘The View’ on Wednesday, the worst was: ‘It’s time to move on in a lot of ways’ from the domestic terrorist attack at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.”
“She was suggesting we should move on when we have judges with Jan. 6 cases receiving ‘all kinds of threats and hostile phone calls,’ according to U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton.”
“Move on when the political organization of Donald Trump paid more than $4.3 million to Jan. 6 organizers and we still don’t know who knew what when.”
“It seems to me, if the purpose of the institute Rice leads is to support our ‘method of representative government,’ she should be advocating that Americans lean in to investigating the promoters and inciters of the insurrection, not move on.”
“How does a nation claiming to be democracy’s biggest champion just move on from Jan. 6?”
“Or maybe the real question is, did Rice actually believe in building democracy or were her pronouncements just the flowery words of someone charged with selling the Bush administration’s war on terror?”
