<\/p>\nTuesday morning the House of Representatives held its first hearing to investigate the January 6th insurrection incited by Donald Trump. The bipartisan committee is looking into what happened, what caused it, and what actions were taken to respond. Much is already in the public record, and most of it incriminates Trump and his Republican confederates.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The committee has already been dismissed by Republicans as partisan, despite the fact that GOP House Leader, Kevin McCarthy, is the one who refused to allow three of his members to take seats on the panel. Now he’s whining about the absence of the GOP perspective that he prohibited. Meanwhile, Fox News covered portions of the hearing with a chyron that politicized and belittled the probe reading “Pelosi-Selected Committee Holds First Jan 6 Hearing.”<\/em><\/p>\n However, as usual it is Trump who is desperately yearning to be the center of attention. Consequently, he released another<\/a><\/strong> of his pseudo-tweets that is a pitifully transparent attempt to deflect from the hearings that he knows expose his guilt. Trump began…<\/p>\n “The fraudulent nightly network newscasts have devoted ZERO minutes to crime recently, even though crime is eating away at our cities and our Country.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n That is an easily provable lie. All of the cable and broadcast news networks have been reporting regularly on crime. Trump must be watching channels that don’t cover news, like Fox “News,”<\/em> Newsmax, and OAN. He went on to babble that…<\/p>\n “They don\u2019t want to talk about it because it will hurt the political narrative of the Communist Democrats.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Trump has called Democrats “communists”<\/em> before, but now he is doing it almost daily. For him it is just a handy epithet in his 3rd grade vocabulary, because he surely couldn’t define it if his life depended on it. And he went on to say…<\/p>\n “Just think, six months ago we had the most secure border in our history. Today, it is the least secure in our history with criminals illegally flooding into our Country-many spreading COVID into our communities-and other Countries prisons being emptied into out neighborhoods.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n There isn’t a single word in that that is true. It is merely more of Trump’s robo-talking points. Refugees at the border have a COVID positivity rate of less than 6%, lower than the Texas average<\/a><\/strong>. And there is no evidence whatsoever of “prisons being emptied.”<\/em> Trump just makes this stuff up as he goes along.<\/p>\n [By the Way:<\/strong> It should not go without notice that Harrington’s postings are blatant violations<\/a><\/strong> of Twitter’s terms of service that prohibit attempts to circumvent a suspension. (more on that here<\/a><\/strong>). She has posted Trump’s pseudo-tweets at least 60 times just this month. Harrington’s account<\/a><\/strong> should be reported and suspended for her repeated breach of Twitter rules]<\/em><\/p>\n Trump and the Republican Cult are struggling to malign Democrats in order to avoid being held accountable for their complicity in the insurrection. Lindsey Graham went on Fox News Monday night to lie to Sean Hannity about crime. He blamed it all on Democratic states like California saying that…<\/p>\n “If you do this crap in South Carolina, you\u2019ll be lucky if you go to jail. You\u2019ll be lucky if someone doesn\u2019t shoot you. So I say that because we’ve lost deterrence. These big Democratic cities and states have lost deterrence. People no longer feel afraid to assault someone in the street. Nobody feels afraid to go into Walmart and clean out the place because nobody in the prosecution level is gonna do a damn thing.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Lindsey Graham on street crime in San Francisco: "If you do this crap in South Carolina, you'll be lucky if you go to jail. You'll be lucky if someone doesn't shoot you … we've lost deterrence." pic.twitter.com\/iPgW0YWBmo<\/a><\/p>\n — Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) July 27, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
