Recently, we asked both Jared Hockema, the Democratic Chair and Morgan Cisneros Graham, the Republican Chair, to submit their respective visions for the county, incorporating how their respective party can benefit our area going forward.
As promised, we submit both reports below without any commentary from the Brownsville Observer:
Trump’s loyalty to Fox News is frightening, but it could also be his undoing. In an interview with the network that aired Thursday morning, Trump maintained that nothing about the pre-election hush money was criminal, even going so far as to implicate himself by saying that the money came from him personally. Unfortunately for Trump, the Justice Department doesn’t operate based on the opinions of cable-news pundits, who have gone into overdrive trying to downplay the president’s criminality since Michael Cohen’s Tuesday afternoon guilty plea. Fortunately for Trump, he likely can’t be indicted as a sitting president, but if the Democrats take control of the government in November and move to impeach him, mind-melding with Judge Jeanine and Dan Bongino could come back to haunt him. In the meantime, Trump and fearmongering pundits like Carlson will continue to rub sticks together, hoping to heat up any issue beyond the Russia investigation.
