Thiessen sees it

Mon., May 17, 2021

For literally years now, I have wondered about syndicated columnist Marc A. Thiessen’s ability to clearly think, see and write about events in our country.

In Thiessen’s Sunday column (“Cheney’s big crime: refusing to whitewash,” May 9), it is obvious that he finally sees that his preferred political party has become a personality cult rather than a party of principle.
