Victor Davis Hanson on Colorado Attack, DEI, and Biden's Autopen Scandal

Colorado Attack and Legal Comparisons

• 🎯 The lawyer for the suspect in the Colorado attack, described as an act of Jew hatred, compared the Trump administration's deportation methods to Nazi Germany.
• ⚠️ Victor Davis Hanson finds this comparison tragically ironic, noting that historical perpetrators of violence against Jews were in Germany, while those in America tried to stop it.
• ⚖️ The family was reportedly overstaying a visa and in the country illegally, with an investigation to determine if they had knowledge of the perpetrator's actions.

DEI and Hypocrisy in Reactions

• 🎭 Hanson suggests a DEI element influences the reaction, arguing that the outrage might be less if the perpetrator and victim roles were reversed (e.g., a white male attacker against a Muslim immigrant).
• 🧐 He points to hypocrisy in how immigration and legal status are handled, contrasting the ease of illegal entry with the difficulty of legal deportation.

Autopen Scandal and Presidential Authority

• 🔍 The discussion shifts to President Trump ordering an investigation into Joe Biden's autopenn abuse.
• 🗣️ Hanson believes the autopenn use signifies a scandal where individuals with radical left agendas may have pushed policies without the president's full awareness or consent.
• 📜 Biden's claim that he made all decisions is questioned, citing his admission of not knowing about curtailed LNG port construction as an example of potential lack of awareness.
• 🚩 The possibility is raised that the autopenn was used to push agendas by staff or even the First Lady while the president was not fully compos mentis, which could be considered a form of coup.
