A few weeks ago, Nick Solheim had me on the Moment of Truth podcast to discuss my new book, American Scapegoat. The book argues persuasively that Officer Derek Chauvin is not merely not guilty, but affirmatively innocent of the murder of George Floyd.
But I’m biased. After all, I wrote the book. Still, others agree. John Eastman, former advisor to President Trump, opined: “Mr. Harker, a former prosecutor himself, has demonstrated in a thorough and dispassionate way the travesty of justice that occurred. Tis a correction of the record long overdue.”
And Renowned author and scholar Heather Mac Donald agrees: “Harker’s American Scapegoat . . . exposes so egregious a wrong in such persuasive detail . . . and should play an essential role in making sure that such rule by racial mob does not happen again.”
So why, given that Chauvin is innocent, was this case prosecuted at all?
You’ll have to read the book to find out, but here’s a hint: it wasn’t about Chauvin at all. He was merely a symbol of something much larger. The real target was the United States of America. Those are not my words, but rather the opinions of those who foisted this charade on our country:
Prosecutor Al Sharpton indicted an entire nation. The charge? Racism most foul. “Derek Chauvin may be in the courtroom, but America is on trial.”
Perhaps you’re wondering which Americans were on trial and why? Sharpton answered that as well:
“You” and “your.” Look in the mirror. That’s who was indicted in May 2020.
American Scapegoat will be released December 1. Get your copy today.
