Turley: It’s ‘Troubling’ There’s this Effort to Create a ‘Mythology’ Trump’s Not ‘Legitimate’

RUSH EXCERPT:
TURLEY: "I think it is a sad lesson for students to receive. Regardless of where you are on this election, this is a historic celebration in our history of a peaceful transfer of power. It’s an important thing. You look around the world, you look at places like Gambia. And this is not an assumption that a lot of voters have. It’s an important moment to teach children, it is not that you are celebrating necessarily the election. You are celebrating the transfer of power. Yes, you wished the next president the best of luck and country, the best of luck. It is a shame that what that lesson is being missed. It is not that you are saying don’t protest Donald Trump. My own brother and his family are here to protest. I will not be joining them. Instead, I’ll be home celebrating the transfer of power. And toast the next president of the United States and wishing the very best. What is troubling to me is there seems to be an effort to create a type of mythology, that somehow Donald Trump is not a legitimate president. And there is no support for that. These members of Congress that are boycotting, I find very troubling. The old expression is that the difference between the statesman of the politicians, the statesman thinks of the next generation, where a politician thinks of the next election. We seem to be short of statesmen right now."
