David Perdue, who by the grace of Georgia’s voters hopefully will not be a U.S. senator after tomorrow, said he’s “disgusted” that a Georgia election official recorded President Trump committing a crime (election fraud, no less!), and says he “wasn’t raised that way.” (Read story here.) He sure wasn’t, and that’s the whole point.
This is the same guy who prayed for President Obama’s death. (Read about that here and here.) And more recently, he used information from confidential Senate briefings to profiteer from the coming pandemic (read about that here), akin to what he’s been doing for years (read about that here).
And on Wednesday, he will join other rogue Republicans trying to overthrow the election and America’s democracy (read about that here).
Perdue has no right to be “disgusted” with anyone. Like Trump, he has no ethics or moral compass. He isn’t necessarily a parenting failure; his parents, both schoolteachers, probably did their best, but parents can’t always keep their children away from bad influences (his father was a Democrat) or control how their children turn out.
How was he raised again? Was he raised or did he just follow his own “moral code” that allows him, without conscience; to support a treasonous president who wants to both overthrow an election and the US government.
Where did Perdue get that moral code that enables one to profit as a senator off a pandemic while 350,000 have died?
Where did Perdue learn to pray for bad things to happen to good people?
Where did Perdue learn the right thing for him to do is to allow a crime to go unreported because he doesn’t recognize when a crime is being committed?
Was Perdue raised right, wrong or was he born without a moral compass?
Perhaps, all of the above.
Trump attracts and brings out the worst in his followers. Whoever walks in integrity walks securely, but he who makes his ways crooked will be found out.
Bad company ruins good morals.
Whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about those positive things. I need to do this, because there is so much not right and not positive about this current administration.
God help us.
