Chris Elderkin

A fairy tale by omission

Revisado: 10-11-22

The author is the infamous former Mayor who left the city of Providence with $100 million of debt. Oddly, this does not make it into his book. I suppose it would be difficult to include that while he was bashing the former Mayor. True, Cianci was not the best person. However, Cicilline is no saint either. As a resident of Rhode Island, I listened to this book with open curiosity. I wanted to hear from the man who put Rhode Island at the forefront of arguably the most embarrassing time in our nation's history. Cicilline, portrays himself and his colleagues as heroes for their vindictive actions leading to the second impeachment of President Trump. I won't go into detail of that here, but I must say that if you are looking for a truthful account of what transpired, not just in January of 2021, but the entire term of President Trump, regarding the democrats, here is not the place for it. If you want a very skewed completely one-sided account, you have come to the right place. Sadly, due to a heavily gerrymandered district, this guy will probably retire as a congressman to the detriment of Rhode Island. If only they were held liable for their falsehoods. Anyhow, Cicilline skillfully avoids any inclination of the "Russiagate" scandal that does not place democrats in a positive light, namely the falsification of emails from the FBI. The revelation of the DNC and Clinton funding the entire operation...basically the continuous failed efforts to remove Trump from office. They can never say they didn't try and are currently still trying to accomplish this goal. The only good that comes from any of this, is that because they made history with the impeachments, all of their actions will be recorded by "actual" historians without a partisan bias. Overall, it was funny to listen to, because the story he tells, is definitely not how it actually transpired. Lastly, a comment on his fear on January 6th, he literally states that he was writing this book as it was transpiring. I guess he wasn't too afraid to write. That along with the numerous books written of that occasion reveal the true motive behind all of this-money and power. If this was placed in the fiction section, I would give it a five-star review for the exaggerated story and skillful performance, but it is not. He has proven one thing here though, no one can dance around the truth better than Cicilline. A truly remarkable performance here.
