Willful ignorance - something that can be denied.

Invincible ignorance - something that cannot be denied.

One can be very informed and be willfully ignorant.
Which is why most members of Congress have not chosen
to read the public version of the Mueller report, and
still deny the president has committed a crime or has
obstructed justice.

But invincible ignorance is a far different matter.
For example, the headline in a North Carolina newspaper
asked - "Are you okay with a racist president, Republicans?"

Only 4 Republicans in the House have condemned the president's
words as being racist.  Only 1 Republican in the Senate has
condemmed the president's words as being racist.  And 1 former
Republican in the House.

We all know the Democrats are not okay with a racist president.
The House of Representives easily passed a resolution condemning
his actions as being racist, in effect calling him a racist.

That would be 235 Democrats, plus 4 Republicans, and 1 former
Republican who agree the president is a racist.

Talk about invincible ignorance.
