Why can’t politicians just admit when they’re wrong?

R.This is discussed The week was short on the exposure of the policy, but it was rich in the moments of revelation from the patterns and characters of the candidates who struggled in the early hours on Wednesday, while writing Lexington column this weekWhat to leave. In one of the moments I have been thinking about since then, Vice President Kamala Harris was in a series of how “Donald Trump” tried to use the race to divide the American people, “and pointed to how he dealt with the so -called Park five.

Do you remember the case? In 1989, after a white woman was raped in Central Park and brutally hit her, five Blud Watinin’s children admitted, and they were interrogated by the police. The matter raised the national attention.

Nearly two weeks after the attack, Mr. Trump has issued full ads in the four main newspapers in New York calling for a death penalty. “I want to hate these killers and I will always do it. I am not looking forward to psychological analysis or understanding, I look forward to punishing them,” wrote Mr. Trump, who urged New York residents not to carry “hatred and population” in their hearts. Central Park served five years in prison before being acquitted in 2002 due to recognition, with the support of DNA evidence, from an usurper and a convicted fighter.

After Mrs. Harris raised the accident, Mr. Trump gave one of his mixed refute. Perhaps the viewers of their essence have taken away that, as he put it, Mrs. Harris had to “extend back, 40 and 50 years ago, because there is nothing now.” Here is the reason that the story is still relevant: Mr. Trump has never retracted, not to mention the apology, and he continued to clarify the five men who may be responsible for the attack. He did this again on Tuesday night. “They pledged to guilt. I said, well, if they pledged guilt, they were severely harmed by someone, and they killed a person in the end.” “Then they pledged we are not guilty.” (The victim is alive).

Why does Mr. Trump not admit that Central Park was five innocent? Many rioters also acknowledged January 6, guilty, and although they were not acquitted by Mr. Trump called the patriots and hostages. He said that he himself is a victim to bypass the Public Prosecution and claimed that “many people said that this is the reason that blacks are like me because they were severely harmful and distinguished.” It appears that he is unwilling to repeat this sympathy.

The Harris campaign has brought a member of Central Park Five – Joseiv Salam, who is now a member of the New York City Council – to the discussion. In the “rotation room” after that, he called Mr. Trump from reporters from the journalists, with himself as a member of the “Al -Mabarir Five”. “This is very good,” Trump said, although he may not realize who was dealing with him. “You are next to me!” “No, no, I am not on your side.”

I think this is a particularly terrible issue of a politician who refuses to recognize the error because it increases the ethnic division, and it is falsely spreading doubts in crime. Mr. Trump, of course, is an extremist in his refusal to recognize any defect, such as losing elections, or even any facts that are not appropriate because they do not show the wave of crime that he insists is to immerse America. But I must point out that Mrs. Harris seems to say simply to say that she got something wrong, or even evolved in her thinking. Why can she not explain why she changed her opinion on cracking? I think voters will have more confidence in the politician who will say explicitly, and face new facts, arguments or experience, whose point of view has changed. A society that people cannot possess their mistakes – and forgive each other for them – sees a governed by making many of them more than it does.

Thank you for the wonderful responses to my students for great political ads. I now think that the political culture in Australia is more creative than America, given the suggestions received at the bottom, which I had to use Google to decipher the blade (for example, “Point Percy at the Pariumment”, suggested it Saul Esslik). Roger Karis He wrote from Paris to summon the abundant poster from the Nixon era: “The majority is not silent, the government is deaf!” Sherrill River From Stockbridge, Vermont, she nominated a more modern example, the advertisement of Jero Rafael Warnka (not in fact Belech, discovered during reporting Lexington about his campaign). I was so reminded of her Thynin is a tax From an imaginary advertisement, a mark described in Raymond Chandler’s novel “Lady in the Lake”: “Keep Jim Patton Constaba. It is too big to go to work.” ■
