The semi driver sure was driving too fast, for the hundreds of protestors in three lanes ahead — in plain sight — on a sunny day.

Even so, he may deserve to be defended. We shall see if his claims hold up. There will be dozens of cellphone video feeds eventually, from many angles — of that frightening moment. So I’ll reserve judgment.

It is quite telling however, that John hasn’t defended Barr/Trump — for gassing indisputably peaceful protesters at Lafayette Park, all so Trump could hold a bible upside down, without an invitation from the Episcopal church.

We saw it unfold live on CNN’s split screen: it was an intentional attack against their bodily safety, and clear first amendment rights.

Crickets, from John. He’d rather bleat about a truck driver going more than 30 mph, very near a large, and randomly ambling crowd.

That tells you all you need to know about how indefensible this toxic tangerine blowhard really has become.

Onward….
