“Most often delusions are harmless. Sometimes they are not. At the moment my fellow Democrats are suffering two that are harmful.”

So wrote Bob Kerrey, former Governor and Senator from Nebraska, in an op-ed in the Omaha World-Herald.

According to Kerrey, the first delusion “is that Americans long for a president who will ask us to pay more for the pleasure of increasing the role of the federal government in our lives. That this is a delusion can be seen in the promises made by six successful Democratic candidates in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan: three governors and three senators. Not one of them supported the Green New Deal, a tax on wealth or ‘Medicare for all.'”

The popular Kerrey, who retired from the Senate in 2001, continued: “The second Democratic delusion is that Americans were robbed of the truth when Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller and Attorney General William Barr concluded that President Trump did not collude with Russia in 2016. All evidence indicates that the full report will not change the conclusion that Donald J. Trump did not collude with Vladimir Putin to secure his victory in 2016.”

Kerrey was awarded the Medal of Honor for heroism in combat as a Navy SEAL officer in the Vietnam War. He was severely wounded in that action. Truth and honor clearly mean something to the man who famously once said of fellow Democrat Bill Clinton, that he was “an uncommonly good liar.”

Kerrey did not stop with calling out the left on those two delusions … though he surely could have made a much longer list of them.

“Congress needs to investigate how the Department of Justice got this one so wrong. If the president of the United States is vulnerable to prosecutorial abuse, then God help all the rest of us,” he wrote.

Michael Goodwin of the New York Post talked with Kerrey and reported that the Senator told him that the probe should complement, but not replace, anything Sen. Lindsey Graham does with the Judiciary Committee, or anything done by the Justice Department or its inspector general. As he put it in the interview, he wants an independent commission because “we need something the public can trust.”

The damning charges against the Democrats and the swamp in general by Kerrey need to be heeded if our system of government is to survive.
