On Wednesday morning the long anticipated testimony of Donald Trump’s former personal attorney, Michael Cohen, began before the House Oversight Committee. His prepared opening statement<\/a><\/strong> revealed that he intends to provide both testimony and documentary evidence that Trump is “a racist, con man, and cheat.”<\/em> This has predictably triggered Trump who retweeted an absurd comment<\/a><\/strong> that did nothing but expose his flagrant fear of the truth.<\/p>\n

The fear of Cohen’s testimony has also infected Trump’s sycophantic defenders at State TV (aka Fox News). But their strategy for diverting attention away from the hearing has devolved into one of the most repulsive and dishonest series of accusations ever made, even by the low standards of the Trump era Republican Nationalist Party.<\/p>\n

The onslaught began the night before the hearing with Fox’s primetime host, and devoted white supremacist, Laura Ingraham. In a segment that featured a chyron saying that the “Left Wants to Destroy Everything Traditional,”<\/em> Ingraham practically drooled while asserting that “”Hitler, just like Planned Parenthood, practiced and defended mass extermination.”<\/em><\/p>\n
