Reporter: "Does calling [The Defeated Guy] out divide more than it heals?"

[kpete]

1. Superb Response

It’s a dumb question after the prior 4 years, which included an attempted coup.

2. 👍

3. I would liken this wound to alcholism

Sure, a drink might temporarily make the alcohol addict feel better in the short-term, but it won't make anything better in the long run.

Trump and his minions are addicted to their lies. The only REAL treatment is to rid them of those lies.

5. I would liken it to treating cancer.

A full course of chemotherapy, radiation and surgery is needed to kill and remove this deadly tumor from the body politic.

[Lars39]

9. And not necessarily in that order...

Sometimes surgery comes first.

4. The old BS re "healing". Are you freakin serious?

[Septua]

6. The wound is gangrenous

The New Yorker's Susan Glasser: "In the immediate aftermath of last January 6th, Biden still had hopes of healing the breach; now he is forced to admit he must stand and fight in it."

7. You have to recognize the crime

Before you can prosecute the crime.

So, calling out the criminal is inevitable.

8. Go Joe!

You gave the fucking Slobfather a full yeat to stop the steal.
Ridicule the fool.

[gratuitous]

10. Yeah, yeah, tried and failed to violently overthrow the government

Can't we just move on? Is it really that big a deal that the former guy tried to hand on to power by unleashing an armed violent mob on the Capitol? I mean, it didn't succeed, so how bad was it in the final analysis? How come we don't talk about the time liberals stormed the Capitol. Just because it never happened, that's no reason to fail to "both sides" this. So divisive!

[OLDMDDEM]

11. I agree

ANYBODY that participated, those repugs we all saw voting against Biden being president, need to be called out. They are traitors and losers. Dumpy is the biggest loser. Remember that show? Reps and senators need to be called out and shamed.

[The Magistrate]

12. It Unites People Who Love Democracy And Our Country

And exposes traitors who hate both.

If that is 'dividing us further' I say let's have a damned sight more of it.

Healing will come only when treason is crushed into the dust, and traitors do not dare lift head nor wag a tongue..

[dalton99a]

13. Perfect.

[ibegurpard]

14. They're still cutting

[Raven123]

15. One has to wonder where the questioner has been the past year.

Biden has extended a hand of cooperation repeatedly, only to be rebuffed. I don’t think it’s possble to divide further
