Eric Ericson's Letter to Democrats. Better Than Mine Was Yesterday? - 11/8/2024

Another "Dear Democrats" letter. A good one.

Eric Ericson, a conservative media personality from Atlanta, posted this letter on X this morning. I'm disappointed in myself that I failed to mention the deception of the party in power and their state run media complex. Worth a look.

Dear Democrats,

You lost, in part, because your side of the aisle engaged in a cover-up of the sitting President’s cognitive decline. His staff, Cabinet Secretaries, members of Congress, and senior members of the press with access to Biden told everyone he was fine. They lied, and Biden got exposed on a debate stage. If you are not willing to hold your own side accountable for engaging in a coverup of the President’s decline, don’t expect Republicans to take you seriously about holding Donald Trump accountable.

In 2008, I launched an effort to find, identify, and drive from politics those people who were leaking damaging information about Sarah Palin to the press from inside the McCain campaign. Nichole Wallace herself told me my effort pushed her out of Republican politics.

It would help if you guys did the same thing now. Your own team lied to you all and to the American people about Joe Biden. Those people set you up for failure on Tuesday night. Before you blame Americans for rejecting you, maybe identify and oust the people who made that rejection possible. They are both in politics and the press.

If you are not willing to clean up your side, don’t expect Republicans to clean up theirs. It was not our side complicit in a coverup of historic proportions. It was the voices in the press who assured us Biden was better than ever and the Democrat politicians and appointees who hid him, excused him, and deflected for him.

To rebuild trust, perhaps demand accountability. People can’t trust a party that says the economy is fine when they’re also saying the president is fine and everyone can see with their own eyes that he is not.
