A Tale Of Two Phone Calls
By Gary Bauer
In July of 2019, President Trump called the president of Ukraine and said that he wanted him to get to the truth. Trump also reassured him that the weapons he needed to defend his country from Russia were on the way. That became the "quid pro quo" that led to Trump's impeachment.
Two years later, almost to the day, Joe Biden called the president of Afghanistan and essentially said, "I need you to lie about what is happening on the ground there. It's not helpful if everyone realizes the Taliban is winning."
According to a transcript of the call provided by Reuters, Ghani said he needed U.S. air support for the Afghan military to successfully fight back, and Biden said we would continue to provide it. (Biden lied about that.)
So, Trump told the leader of a nation to get to the truth, and Democrats impeached him. Biden told the leader of a nation to lie, and there's crickets.
