In the movie “It’s a Wonderful Life,” I always believed that Mr. Potter was the most evil character.
I was wrong. It was Potter’s aide.
In the movie, this wheelchair-pushing assistant watched Potter steal $8,000 from Uncle Billy. Yet he did nothing.
When Potter called the police on George Bailey, Potter’s aide stood there again, mute, doing nothing as Potter lied to the world.
Potter’s assistant had enough facts to implicate and denounce Potter because he saw the crimes firsthand. The evidence was overwhelming. Yet he ignored the facts and let Potter achieve his selfish motives by ruthlessly running roughshod over anyone who got in his way.
This stooge did not do the right thing. Maybe he was intimidated by Potter? Maybe he was afraid of losing his job?
Mike Lee and Mitt Romney, now is not the time to be beholden to Donald Trump or the Republican Party. Lead the way. Convince other senators to acknowledge the truth and finish what the House started.
You have compelling proof. Do not be like Potter’s aide and stand by and do nothing.
