Further context here: Ed Martin is the guy who supported pardoning rioters from Jan. 6th and also claims that the 2020 election was rigged. It would be appropriate to say he doesn't have the most politically lucid track record.

History will show that the Pax Americana was ended by America. Completely self inflicted. We deserve the result though.
