For the past five years the Boston Herald has been a wholly owned subsidiary of Donald Trump, but today the chumpy local tabloid has plumbed new depths.
From Jay Fitzgerald and Keith Regan in today’s MASSterList:
Curious timing: ‘Biden should consider pardon for Trump’
It’s pretty amazing for a newspaper editorial board that has remained absolutely silent, one way or the other, on President Trump’s divisive charges that the presidential election was stolen from him is now advising Joe Biden to consider giving Trump a pardon. But that’s exactly what a Herald editorial is advising this morning.
We’re a long, long way from the sane Pat Purcell/Rachelle Cohen editorial days at the Herald, folks.
Here it is.
Totally nuts graf from the madcap editorial:
Pardoning Trump would also give Biden room to address the country’s urgent problems, such as getting coronavirus vaccines to all who need them, freeing up stimulus checks to help struggling families, and taking steps to get the economy back on track after a devastating year.
Seriously? Pardoning Trump is going to get Biden to 60 votes in the Senate? Or convince more than 60% of Americans to actually get vaccinated?
That’s about as likely as Trump taking Biden to Bedminster for a round of golf.
I don’t know what they’re smoking at the goofy local tabloid, but it’s probably not cigars.
