It is easy to forget, given the all-consuming focus on coronavirus, but just weeks ago, America impeached its president. Democrats, by calling on false witnesses, relying on hearsay and criminalizing intentions, brought standards for impeachment to a historic low. Neither Robert Mueller’s special counsel investigation nor the House Intelligence Committee found any impeachable evidence against President Donald Trump, but these facts did not matter. Radical leftists keep repeating the lie that he colluded with the Russian government to undermine U.S. security—and the lie that he threatened to withhold military aid from Ukraine if it did not investigate Joe Biden’s family. In the end, this shameful absurdity ended on February 5, when the Senate acquitted the president.
Lead impeachment manager Rep. Adam Schiff said this during his closing arguments at the impeachment trial: “You can’t trust this president to do the right thing—not for one minute, not for one election, not for the sake of our country—you just can’t. He will not change and you know it. A man without character or ethical compass will never find his way.”
The Merriam-Webster definition of slander is “the utterance of false charges or misrepresentations, which defame and damage another’s reputation.” Representative Schiff slandered the president. Yet millions of people believed him. Why? They are impervious to reason. They don’t see the world in terms of logic or objective facts. As I will explain, they use a very different and extremely dangerous standard to govern their decisions.
