A Goodreads user asked this question about The Law of Innocence (The Lincoln Lawyer, #6; Harry Bosch Universe #35):
Is anyone else disgusted with the politics pushed by Michael Connelly? He "had to eliminate the Trumper" from the Jury. He said Trump had his head in the sand on Feb 23, (when the next day on Feb 24, Nancy Pelosi went to the China town street fair and told everyone "everything is fine here." ) Never mind Fauci told us there was NO need for masks up until March 8. I will never buy a Connelly book again
John Davis Yeah, I don't really care what his politics are, and it won't keep me from being a Bosch/Lincoln Lawyer reader, but the references seem contrived.

There is the same stretch in "The Waiting" with references to the "Failed Insurrection"--over the top. It's a distraction that adds nothing to the story, except, perhaps, virtue signalling to Hollywood for those TV deals, though admittedly, it may just be his sincere beliefs. I know many LA cops and they are overwhelmingly pro-Trump versus his 2024 opponent...
That said, your reaction seems like overkill. I will still read his books. I don't read novels for civics debate.(less)
