Assault on America
By Eric Utter
That Democrats in general—and the Biden administration in particular-- are engaged in an attack on all things American is as plain as the arched and starched eyebrows on Nancy Pelosi’s face.
Exhibit 1: Kenneth Harrelson walked around the Capitol Rotunda and took pictures of “the People’s House” on January 6. He was indicted and charged for doing so. Subsequently, in an unsigned letter dated June 13, Biden’s Veterans’ Administration (VA) informed Harrelson and his family that it would be suspending all his benefits payments for his alleged actions during the “Stop the Steal” rally.
Reacting to the case, Joseph McBridge, an attorney for other January 6 defendants, told the Epoch Times, “This is disgusting. It’s completely [expletive] up. Kenny Harrelson is entitled to his benefits. He’s merely been accused of a crime and the idea he is going to be stripped of his military medical benefits is without question a violation of his due process rights. That’s crazy. It’s a disgrace. It’s an absolute disgrace. He’s accused and presumed innocent until proven guilty and his family is certainly innocent. All of this is absolutely horrific.”
Rep. Louis Gohmert told the Times: “Somebody knew what they were doing when they sent that letter without a signature, without a name. That’s the kind of hiding behind a federal position you get when you have evil, abusive, vindictive people in federal employment. They knew what they were doing when they sent that without a signature and without their name on it.”
The pertinent law in this case states that a veteran’s benefits can only be suspended upon conviction of an offense. But Democrats rarely let little things like laws stand in the way of their getting what they want -- or punishing those with whom they disagree.
