It has been a bad month for apologies from MAGA, as no one is as bad at apologies as MAGA.
Last week, I analyzed the so-called apology of Congresswoman Mary Miller, a newly elected Republican from the 15th district in downstate Illinois. She got into hot water for uttering the three words that even a MAGA person should know enough not to say . . .
As a lefty with Libertarian impulses, I support Catanzara’s right to hold that sign. Even as I condemn him for vowing to oust from the union any member who takes a knee in sympathy with Black Lives Matter protesters.
Let’s quote Mr. Catanzara himself from an interview he gave with Chip Mitchell from WBEZ on the evening of the riot.
“Evidence matters . . . until that appears, shame on them for what they did, but it was out of frustration. There’s no fights. There’s no, obviously, violence in this crowd. They pushed past security and made their way to the Senate chamber. Did they destroy anything when they were there? No.”
OK, where to start . . .
