Trump’s push to nullify a democratic election and disenfranchise millions of U.S. voters is far more damaging to our country than Nixon's.

** Trump’s crimes make Watergate look tame ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
by Will Marshall, PPI President

President Trump has been caught on tape committing what would be considered a crime if you or I did it: pressuring public officials in Georgia to falsify the results of the 2020 presidential election. He urged Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to “find” 11,780 votes — the exact number Trump needs to exceed Joe Biden’s winning margin.

I followed Richard Nixon’s Watergate scandal and impeachment proceedings intently as a college student. Trump’s push to nullify a democratic election and disenfranchise millions of U.S. voters is far more damaging to our country. Like Nixon, he must be held accountable so that his attempted putsch doesn’t set a precedent for future presidential losers.

Instead of rallying to the defense of the Constitution, however, about 50 House and a dozen Senate Republicans are planning to lend credence to Trump’s delusional claims when Congress meets to accept the Electoral College results Wednesday.

It promises to be a sickening display of intellectual dishonesty and moral cowardice. The only good that can come from it will be the confirmation that, for all the Republican bleating about how socialists have taken over the Democratic Party, it’s actually their party that offers a political home to anti-American radicals.
