Politically, this activity is one of the best armaments and is used on all levels of the political stage. Obviously, egocentric applications of hypocritical activity are used to exemplify their positions. Examples: the only death noted in the Jan 6 “insurrection” was that of a capitol police officer who died of an apparent preexisting cardiac history. Oddly,  there is no mention of the woman who lost her life by gunfire from a capitol police officers’ firearm.

For the past nine years we have heard nothing about the disapproval of the “Russian Collusion” in Trump’s political activity or the involvement of the FBI and other Federal agencies who promoted the hoax. And for the last three and a quarter years, little to nothing about our “border Czar “indicating that the “border is secure” as millions of invaders have entered this nation. And there are many more similar issues.

Oddly, I recall at a Norwood 4th of July parade, in which then NY State Congressman Robert McEwen, who was the representative of the event, was seated on a parade float that was being chased down the parade route by an incensed politically motivated individual spouting a verbal attack. However, a recent  written negative attack on our present Congressional representative  was penned by the same individual who allowed for the absolution of McEwen by calling him a “gentleman.” Hypocrisy in perfect focus.

Just my opinion.
