Let’s go back to WND editor Joseph Farah’s Jan. 8 column in which he dissed his daughter, former Trump White House communications director Alyssa Farah, for regaining a sense of reality of President Trump’s real legacy and declining to attend the pre-riot pro-Trump rally with her father and his wife.
Yes, he and wife Elizabeth Farah — who made her own strange videos portraying Trump as ordained by God — were there. As he gushed: “We were proud to be there. There was no place we’d rather have been than showing our support for the greatest president of our lifetimes – perhaps the greatest ever!” They apparently didn’t participate in the riot and insurrection — or the “side trip,” as Farah described it:
Though we did not include the side trip [to] the Capitol building, we watched the sad proceedings on television at the nearby haven of the Willard Hotel. We saw many people returning from the Capitol – women with children, elderly men and women so frail, but determined to make their voices heard.
After rehashing numerous bogus claims about election fraud that he insisted “would have received a thorough investigation in the weeks between Nov. 3 and Dec. 16 – that is, any election that did not have Donald J. Trump as the aggrieved candidate,” Farah decided to minimize and play whataboutism, expressing sadness about the deaths but cheering the idea that politicians are “fearful” or far-right activists like himself:
It’s very sad that a woman was killed by police fire in the Capitol Wednesday, that a policeman died of his injuries and that three others died during the event. It’s a tragedy. But it lasted one day. It was not the kind of tragedy we witnessed as a country when our urban streets were set ablaze, $2 billion in damage done and 30 people killed over months of riots while Biden remained silent, Harris and other Democrats egged the rioters on and even went to the outrageous length of bailing out the violent perpetrators. The hypocrisy is almost too much to bear.
While the Washington establishment may be very eager to be rid of Donald J. Trump, tens of millions of Americans are not eager at all for his departure. They are fearful about the change that has taken place inside America. They see right being called wrong, winners being declared losers and tyranny being called freedom.
Where do we go from here? We continue the fight for truth, liberty and the restoration of our republic. What else can we do? We’re Americans, after all.
As we all know, Farah cares nothing about the truth; otherwise, he would — just to cite one example — let WND report on Fox News’ seven-figure settlement with Seth Rich’s family, or mention that a key WND source on Rich, Matt Couch, retracted and deleted all his Seth Rich-related conspiracy claims, or have an honest conversation about the Seth Rich conspiracy theories WND has published.
And Farah is doing it again by regurgitating Trump’s bogus claims of election fraud. Did he learn nothing from having to sheepishly settle a defamation lawsuit a few years back?
