The past several weeks of farcical hearings initiated by the United States House Select Committee on the January 6 attack have displayed the lengths to which the American political left will go to in their efforts to derail the prospects of a second Trump administration.
The hearings began with a June 9 televised hearing on prime-time TV that was carried by virtually every major network in the United States. Holding them when television viewership is at its highest for the day was obviously no accident, as an audience of at least 20 million Americans tuned in to watch, according to Nielsen.
The initial hearing included, among other things, a dramatic performance from Wyoming congresswoman Liz Cheney. She attempted to sell the American people on a Trump-designed and initiated "seven-part plan" to overturn the results of the 2020 election and tried to tie the actions of pro-Trump groups like the Proud Boys at the Capitol directly to the then-sitting president.
Over the next few weeks, the committee would grasp at straws. Allegations would be levied that then-president Trump was well aware that he had lost the election. Former attorney general William Barr, meanwhile, accused the former president of becoming "detached from reality," despite the fact that there was sufficient evidence of irregularities related to the administration of the election.

The fact is, these hearings have been as one-sided as a Harlem Globetrotters-Washington Generals game. Especially as the question of potential perjury by Hutchinson is considered, it raises the question: where is the pushback by the House GOP leadership to these theatrics? Leadership at the very top of the party — namely, House minority leader Kevin McCarthy — has been largely absent.

GOPe and Dems are One.
The GOP is just as desperate as the Democrats to be rid of Donald Trump.
That is why they assisted with the Trump/Russia collusion delusion and the Big Steal.
“The fact is, these hearings have been as one-sided as a Harlem Globetrotters-Washington Generals game.”
The Generals still aimed for their own basket, not the opposing team’s.
McCarthy’s a gutless, nutless fag, that’s why.
Don’t let “Knife In The Back” McCarthy stand behind you.
There is no Republican leadership on Capitol Hill.
Even though the GOP reluctantly and belatedly removed Cheney from her leadership position, I would argue that she still is a de facto leader in the party. She just doesn’t have the title anymore.
I guarantee you this time next year (and prolly a lot sooner) we will all be disappointed with the GOP once again. More foot dragging, excuses, appeasement, reaching across the isle, etc. Some things never change.
McCarthy is Paul Ryan’s alter ego.
Correction, the committee is entirely democrat- there are no conservarites on the panel
He should have stripped Cheney of all party positions and committee seats for flipping him the finger. But the truth is, he’s in on it and doesn’t care.
Definitely YEP to the collusion, and most definitely YEP to the Big Steal!
Most excellent observation.
Kevin McCarthy is just another John Boehner and Paul Ryan. A creature of The Swamp.
Jim Jordan needs to be the new Speaker. He’s got the real fire-in-the-belly that constitutional conservatives desperately want.
Politicians of both parties represent their donors, not voters.
McCarthy is not weak. He is just representing the big donors, not you.
All the Supreme Court cases that removed restrictions on big money donations,?have empowered big money. Why is anyone surprised?
Agree.
I don’t disagree.
The pols do indeed work for the big money.
Far more than most voters realize.
Our system is corrupt. They hated Trump because he exposed the rot in the system.
Popular Vote
Biden 81.2 million
Trump 74.2 million
I don’t think I will be voting this year. No one different is running in my district. Same old same old.
Why hasn’t Cheney been kicked out of the GOP???
Quit making fun of Luntz’s roomate.
