Was this a remark by a CNN commentator, or a floor speech by Sen. John Avlon (D-NY)? You'd be forgiven for being confused. On CNN's New Day this morning, "senior political commentator" Avlon engaged in some hysterical hyperbole. He implied that the "republic" would literally be lost if Senator Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) voted against allowing witnesses in the impeachment trial. [snip]
"No. And so I think a lot is going to be determined by Lamar Alexander. Sort of, you know, will the headline be, Lamar Alexander saves the republic, or saves the Republican party?"
Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

CNN’s Avlon implies that if Lamar Alexander doesn’t vote to let Bolton testify, the USA as we know it is . . . ovah!
Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.
Lamar could have retired and saved the Republic a long time ago.
I’ve heard dems use the word “Republic” (as if they know what it means) more times in the past week than I have for the past 20 years.
The French have investigations into Biden et al. Do you suppose Congress is keeping up with them, and/or the media????

Democrats should be careful about what they wish for because they have more to lose than to gain by going down that path. I would LOVE to see the Bidens squirming under oath.
The smell of Democrat desperation is in the air.
For commies when they say “Save the Republic” they mean “Save America from Republicans” because things are only okie dokie when commies are in charge
For a laugh, ask Avalon what a Republic is?
Then ask him what the four principles of ethical journalism are.
Hint:
Seek Truth and Report It
Minimize Harm
Act Independently
Be Accountable and Transparent
The fail would be epic.
Tennessee will not elect another RINO like Lamar.
It has become a solid Red State.
You are mistaken, the TN GOP is infested with left of center Bill Haslam/Alexander Country Club RINO’s. Dollar Bill Lee being the latest to rear its traitorous head on refugees.
“Tennessee will not elect another RINO like Lamar.”
Well, our new TN governor is requesting illegals to be sent here. Guess the Chamber of Commerce got to him.
To the contrary, as has been most eloquently pointed out on several occasions by the POTUS Legal Eagles (and, DAMN! Are they smart & wellspoken! Or what?), to force the Senate to bring witnesses forward who HAVE NOT BEEN DEPOSED by the House “Managers,” would, indeed, DESTROY THE REPUBLIC.
Were such a precedent be set, the House could, willy-nilly, send Articles of Impeachment to the Senate ad nauseum, and would expect the Senate to do their investigatory work for them! That would, my Fellow FReepers, FReeze the Senate!
IT IS NOT THE SENATE’S JOB TO INVESTIGATE AND CALL WITNESSES - THAT IS PURELY A HOUSE FUNCTION!
What Avalon is saying is: “We could have so many more regulations if it wasn’t for Trump.”
You have the COC. And then you have grassroots voters.
If Haslam thought he could win a Senate Seat, he would have
run for RINO Corkers Seat. Blackburn did and won.
It is over. The GREATEST PROPAGANDA machine supporting the CRIMINAL STATE...the most EVIL CRIMINALS in the history of this once great republic...without repercussions. No justice, no America.
Beautiful Americans, my fellow Americans:
Our sons, fathers, uncles, friends have been put in kill or be killed situations on battlefields.
Our daughters, moms, nieces, aunties have been degraded, dehumanized, raped by Hollywood and evil individuals.
Our hardwork, kindness, goodwill, honor has been destroyed by kickback/extortion schemes called “foreign aide” to further enrich evil “representatives” and their families and friends.
All the while our time of life is cut short and wasted by debt/tax slavery.
They all suddenly become so patriotic about saving the republic when things don’t go their way.
And they LOVE regulations. And the bribes that come with them to override the regulations
Flush this John.
