A far right person can’t claim s/he “own the libs” [FN1] when s/he runs away from a challenge to debate. Micah Beckwith [FN2] wants to be the GOP’s nominee for IN Lt Gov. That nomination is determined by the GOP State convention. Beckwith can dodge pesky questions. Such as... 1/7

If Beckwith believes “The Lord” spoke to him [FN3] about Jan 6, Beckwith’s lack of concern for people charged & convicted is cold. Making things up is colder to a lot more people. Mencken said no one ever went broke by underestimating the intelligence of the American public. 2/7

Beckwith has claimed to be a “true CONSTITUTIONAL conservative” [FN4] Use of upper case letters does not erase his ignorance & misunderstanding of The Constitution. The Framers did not invoke a deity in 1787 in Philadelphia. Jesus Christ is absent. We can debate. [FN5] 3/7

Until then, people should stop w/any comments about “owning” libs. In November this country might be under a dictatorship. There were no debates in the waning days of the Weimar Republic.
Debate fosters the marketplace of ideas. I hope the store stays open. 4/7
