It’s rare that the New York Post’s editorial board, who writes for a “news” outlet owned by Rupert Murdoch, gets something right. For instance, they’re still peddling the idea that the Jan. 6 Congressional Committee is a campaign ad for Democrats to help them win the midterms, because Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) is definitely all about helping Republicans win.
However, on Saturday, they did get a few things…almost right.
Rupert Murdoch's @nypost:
"It’s time for Republicans to move on… Trump has become a prisoner of his own ego… Trump can’t look past 2020. Let him remain there."https://t.co/rRWxqRIgP6

In a stunning op-ed by the former Trump devoted outlet, the editorial board wrote that the twice-impeached ex-president who lost the popular vote twice cannot let go of his 2020 election loss and that it’s time to move on. Of course, ensuring that democracy is sound and that criminals are not allowed to commit crimes because they’ve won an election is also important.
Still, it’s telling that such a right-leaning outlet would publish such an article. Calling Trump “a prisoner of his own ego,” the editorial board pleaded with Republicans to move on from Trump.
In a rare moment of sanity, the New York Post‘s editorial board wrote that:
‘Reports that Trump was pleased that the Jan. 6 crowd chanted for Vice President Mike Pence to be hanged — a truly reprehensible sentiment — makes him unworthy for the office. Trump can’t look past 2020. Let him remain there.’
Twitter had a lot to say about the scathing op-ed. Read some of their comments below:
