“Trump tried to overturn an election. He went to war with the rule of law. He violated his oath to the Constitution.” Kilmeade didn’t dispute any of that. “I know,” he said. “But what if he is our only hope to beat Kamala?” I was surprised Kilmeade was so direct. Were we really going to torch the Constitution to beat the Democrats? Trump had done things we could not ignore. He had shown he was too dangerous to play a role in our politics. I wasn’t willing to give him a second chance to do it all again.
