WALSH: The Left Has Called Trump’s Election Illegitimate For Four Years. Now They’re Mad That He’s Returning The Favor.

Only a few days before the election, Nancy Pelosi became the latest in a long line of Democrats to call Amy Coney Barrett an “illegitimate” Supreme Court Justice. From the moment the vacancy opened, all the way up to and through the hearings and confirmation vote, Democrats labeled the process a “sham” and openly questioned the very validity of Barrett’s judgeship. There was, of course, no basis for these charges. Barrett was nominated and confirmed by an entirely legal and constitutional process, and there was nothing even vaguely strange or troubling about the way the White House and Senate Republicans handled the matter. Still, Democrats were willing to destroy America’s faith in the judicial branch just for the sake of scoring political points.

This has been a tried and true Democratic strategy for many years — especially since President Trump’s election, the results of which they have never for a moment been willing to accept or validate. Hillary Clinton has spent Trump’s entire tenure crying foul to anyone who will listen, branding Trump an “illegitimate” president who “stole” the election. Nearly every Democrat on the national stage has echoed these sentiments. The rest have aided the slander through their silence. There is, once again, no basis for any of this. Donald Trump was elected fairly and legally, and no accusation of “collusion” with Russia was ever proven despite ceaseless attempts by an opposition party determined to punish Trump for the crime of having become president in the first place.
