Lies of the left from former Reagan speechwriter Peggy Noonan
By David Zukerman
The weekend edition of The Wall Street Journal for July 31 - August 1 carried a column by former Reagan chief speechwriter Peggy Noonan with this title: The Jan. 6 Committee Carries History's Weight." Perhaps a more accurate title would have read: "Republicans Must Dump Trump Once and For All." (This, of course, is what Ms. Noonan has been pining for since Mr. Trump announced his presidential candidacy June 2015.)
In her latest paean to the Pelosi Get-the-Republicans panel, Ms. Noonan regretted that Republican are not on the committee. She omitted to inform readers of the partisan problems Pelosi presented to the GOP, much less that Pelosi did not accept the previous Noonan recommendation to name a select committee of five Democrats AND five Republicans.
Interestingly, in her June reflections on the Jan. 6 committee, Ms. Noonan included this observation which, arguably, contradicts testimony given to the Pelosi panel on July 27: "Capitol Police leadership bumbled calling in the National Guard and the Defense Department bumbled getting it there." The last part of this column cited the Trump-loathing former GOP congresswoman Barbara Comstock for Ms. Noonan to certify her standing in Never Trump United.
