This comment from Minneapolis city council member Andrew Johnson on The Daily is kind of amazing in this current moment. He’s chuckling here about how his pledge to dismantle the Minneapolis Police Department actually meant nothing. While politicians have always had to have their feet held to the fire, the Trump presidency has loosened up many constraints for them. Lindsey Graham and this guy know they can just say, I lied, what are you gonna do about it? and don’t even need to do any obligatory governing in the directions of their commitments. Words mean nothing now.
