Trump shares article saying Democrats have a vile 'fetish for the 14th Amendment'

Donald Trump on Tuesday night didn't directly confront the fact that the Colorado Supreme Court ruled that he is ineligible to be on the state's ballot, but he did manage to share an article claiming Democrats have a "fetish" for part of the U.S. Constitution.

The former president, who forcefully defended from the litigation that led to him being barred from the ballot in Colorado, shared several pieces on Truth Social in response to the loss in court. Included among those were videos from various right-wing hosts calling the decision election interference.

One piece ex-president Trump shared was published by Blaze Media, in which the founder of that site, Mark Levin, argues that Democrats have a "fetish for the 14th Amendment" that represents "a vile attack on our elections directed at one man: Donald Trump."

"The modern Democrat Party has an unhealthy fetish for the 14th Amendment, one of the three post-Civil War constitutional amendments," Levin wrote in the September article. "Democrats are constantly and relentlessly trying to rewrite it to accommodate their political ends."

Levin argues that, because the 14th Amendment doesn't specifically mention that it applies to the president, it simply can't be used in that manner.

"You need not be an aging retired judge, washed-up former law professor, or NeverTrumper academician to notice that the word 'president' cannot be found in this text," Levin writes. "So, why would the amendment’s drafters, adopters, and ratifiers all exclude the word 'president' from the text but include virtually every other form of officeholder, federal and state, elected and appointed, in the text? Did they forget to add the word 'president'? Or could the reason possibly be that they did not want to include the word 'president' and, therefore, intentionally did not?"
