An ABC News column written by Rick Klein and MaryAlice Parks was quietly edited after it originally argued for “cleansing” the movement of Trump supporters.
“Even aside from impeachment and 25th Amendment talk, Trump will be an ex-president in 13 days. The fact is that getting rid of Trump is the easy part,” they argued in a column for a section called ‘The Note.’
“Cleansing the movement he commands, or getting rid of what he represents to so many Americans, is going to be something else,” it continued.
Klein also tweeted a column with the original phrasing about Trump supporters quoted.
ABC quietly changed the verbiage in the column to “cleaning up,” while Klein simply deleted the tweet.

I will always respect Donald Trump as a great man and president. This country needs more people like him in office.
