This week the state of Maine joined Colorado in finding that the Constitution’s 14th Amendment<\/a><\/strong> prohibits Donald Trump from running for president. Section Three of the Amendment states that “No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military [who has] engaged in insurrection or rebellion.”<\/em><\/p>\n

The language of the Amendment is clear and justifies declaring Trump ineligible to have his name on state primary ballots due to his documented participation in the insurrection in Washington, D.C., on January 6th, 2021. While the courts will continue to debate this matter, there is no question that Trump incited and supported the insurrection and the insurrectionists. He has said so himself, repeatedly.<\/p>\n

Naturally, the MAGA Ministry of Propaganda, aka Fox News, is providing aid and comfort to Trump as he pursues his anti-American mission to install himself as America’s first dictator. In Friday morning’s episode of “Outnumbered,”<\/em> guest co-host Cheryl Casone, a Fox Business anchor, shoveled a fresh heap of manure unto the pile with her denunciation of Maine’s Secretary of State, Shenna Bellows. It was Bellows who made the decision to nix Trump in compliance with the duties of her office and the Constitution. But Casone was appalled that Bellows used the pronoun “I”<\/em> in her statement…<\/p>\n

“I think it’s arrogant and it’s her. If you look at the statement that she put out, that she filed this motion and she’s defending her position, she says [emphasizing “I”]<\/em> ‘I conclude that Mr. Trump used a false narrative of election fraud. I likewise conclude that Mr. Trump was aware of the likelihood for violence and at least initially supported its use.’ I mean, this is all about her. She’s out of her league, out of her lane.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Apparently Casone couldn’t come up with a coherent legal argument to rebut Bellows, so she criticized her use of pronouns. Which is ironic considering how fervently Fox News and the MAGA cult have opposed what they regard as the “woke”<\/em> culture that focuses too much on pronoun use. Bellows is the state official responsible for making this decision and she said so. Did Casone think that she should have said “they”<\/em> or “it”<\/em> made the decision? But Casone was just getting her criticism warmed up. She continued saying that…<\/p>\n

“It’s definitely going to the Supreme Court. They’re going to strike this down. There’s no way they can’t legally. And by the way, that amendment that she’s citing in this – you mentioned how ludicrous it is – 1868 guys. This is when this was put in the Constitution.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
