Jason Chaffetz: Democrats have leveraged pandemic, economic pain and civil unrest for political gain

Never let it be said that Democrats let the crises of the past 12 months go to waste. With the coronavirus pandemic, forced closures of large swaths of the economy and civil unrest, the left did what it always does in times of crisis: leverage disaster for political gain.

Earlier, leftists gutted election security procedures, using the pandemic as their justification. Democratic officeholders have managed to amplify false narratives and conceal true ones with the help of partners in the left-wing media, powerful social media platforms, the nonprofit sector and government.
