We already know what side Donald Trump is on when it comes to the right wing anti-American domestic terrorists who tried to violently overthrow the United States on January 6th. Trump has been siding with these types since Charlottesville, and of course he called them “patriots” as they were attacking the Capitol. But now Trump has truly married himself to these types by pardoning a bunch of them yesterday.

Now Trump is going even further. During a bizarrely senile press conference today, Trump was asked whether terrorist groups like the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers “now have a place in politics.” Trump’s answer: “We’ll have to see.”

Really? This is what Trump came up with for an answer? It’s obvious that Trump is afraid to distance himself from these kinds of domestic terrorist groups, because they’re such a core part of his base. But now he’s outright marrying himself to these groups. And he’s giving us all kinds of material to use for driving down his approval rating and sweeping the midterms.
