OPINION | BRENDA LOOPER: Partisan pits


We did this to ourselves. We have no one else to blame.

In the wake of last week's unanimous guilty verdicts from the jury on 34 counts in New York, Donald Trump and his supporters have decried the legal system that they swear has been weaponized against Republicans.

When the district attorney who filed the case (the weakest of the four indictments, and which has no federal involvement) campaigned on bringing Trump to justice, one could hardly be surprised that people see partisan fingerprints all over it.

Partisan sniping has always been a part of America's DNA, but I can't recall a time in our history that it's been this bad, and it doesn't help that we have people who blindly believe what they're told by their preferred political figures despite evidence to the contrary.
