Ehh...there's levels. Is he utterly and completely blame free? Okay no probably not. But call a spade a spade-he was one who saw the fallout and what was happening and spoke up even louder about what a bad idea it was.
It's disingenuous lumping Bessent and Navarro together and saying "one team, blame shared equally!"
If the Celtics lose a game and Tatum goes 14-18 from the floor with 15 rebounds and no turnovers and Jalen Brown is 2-15 from the floor with 8 turnovers...yeah they both are on the losing team but in that particular game they don't really have an "equal share" of the blame for the loss.
Sports analogies aren't going to work here, especially if you're going to use a successful team as your baseline.
Bessent joined this cancer of an administration eyes. wide open. He knew Ron Vera was on the team.
And he defended the tariffs on tv every step of the way. You can't even credit him for opposing something that even I, somebody who is practically finance-illiterate, knew was a stupid idea. Credit goes to people who don't let shit hit the fan, not for giving limp rhetoric after the fact about how its everybody's job to keep it from staining the white rug.
