In defense of Marco Rubio and ‘My Pillow’ CEO Mike Lindell, both attacked by the left – St. Augustine Record

I must take issue with the recent letter criticizing U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio for not condemning the protest at the Capitol. First of all, comparing the protest at the Capitol to the overthrowing of the Cuban government is wrong. There is no comparison whatsoever. Marco Rubio was not alive when this occurred.

This letter looks like a regurgitation of a recent George Stephanopoulos interview with Rand Paul where Stephanopoulos tried to get U.S. Sen. Rand Paul to admit that Joe Biden legitimately won the election. How about getting the Democratic Party to admit the riots, destruction, and violence that took place during 2020 were wrong? We all saw video of Jerry Nadler stating that the involvement of Antifa in Portland riots was a myth. Why can he not admit that just isnt so? American cities saw fires, riots and destruction, and the Democratic Party seems just fine with that.

We now live in a country of taking down statues and renaming our schools that bear the name of our founding fathers because they might offend some people in the name of political correctness.

But wait: We cant stop there. We are now trying to silence people and boycott their businesses because they voted or endorsed a political party other than their own.

Case in point: Mike Lindell, founder of his company "My Pillow," created hundreds of good-paying jobs within his company. Lindell, a strong supporter of President Trump, is now facing backlash by having his products banned from some retail stores.

Whats next? In some countries if you speak against the party that is in power you start as a political opponent and you may end up as a political prisoner.
