In pro wrestling, the bad guys are set up to lose. But what about in politics?

Millions of Americans are watching a political wrestling match in which the referee is always looking the other way when it comes to Donald Trump.

Hundreds of ordinary citizens involved in storming the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, have gone to trial, paid fines and gone to jail. But not Trump.

Lawyers Sidney Powell and Jenna Ellis have pleaded guilty over their efforts to overturn the 2020 election based on lies pushed by Trump. But not Trump.

And last week, Ronna McDaniel, a Trump ally as head of the Republican National Committee (RNC), was fired days into her new job at NBC because so many journalists at the network complained she told lies to support Trump. But Trump is on TV.

Some networks offer live coverage of him spouting lies about President Biden using prosecutors to punish him. But the refs in congress, in corporations, on right-wing talk shows and inside the Republican Party all look the other way when it comes to Trump. They all fear offending the majority of Republicans who tell pollsters they are with Trump’s lie that the election was stolen.

Now it is a job interview question for anyone who wants to work at the RNC: Do you agree with Trump that the election was stolen?
