Trump Brands Democrats 'Seditious', Ignores His Own Insurrection
Donald Trump recently accused Democrats of 'seditious behaviour' punishable by death over a video. This comes from the man who incited a crowd to march on the Capitol on January 6th, leading to what federal prosecutors have called a 'violent assault on our democracy.' The irony, apparently, is lost somewhere in the legal definitions of actual insurrection versus strong language. For years,
mainstream media has breathlessly covered Trump's inflammatory remarks, often failing to contextualize them against his own documented history of challenging democratic processes. The 'seditious' accusation against Democrats for a video pales in comparison to his administration's attempts to pressure election officials, documented extensively in public records and congressional hearings. One might
ask if the Financial Times report truly captures the scale of political hypocrisy, or just another headline.
