Amanda Carpenter on Candidates Ignoring Trump Indictments, Rhetoric: ‘That Is How Authoritarianism Happens Here’

EXCERPT:

CARPENTER: “No one wants to talk about the biggest issues, the fact that Donald Trump is attacking Mark Milley and suggesting that he should be executed. No one is talking about, 'Hey, this is an economic debate, right? Maybe it's a bad idea to put -- potentially put a man who's in court, right now, today, for massive amounts of fraud, to put him in charge of the entire U.S. economy.' And so you just look at the things that they are ignoring. Ignoring those topics on behalf of the candidates, on behalf of the moderators, that is a choice, and that is how authoritarianism happens here, because we choose to ignore those things.”
