The dumbest five minutes of Congress, ever: Dems demand sources from journalists who exposed government-media censorship complex (7 min video)

“I don’t quite understand what Substack is,” mutters Rep. Sylvia Garcia (D-TX) at one point, which underscores the idiocy you are about to watch. The House Weaponization Subcommittee decided to call Matt Taibbi and Michael Shellenberger to discuss their publication of the Twitter Files, which apparently was so great a threat to democracy (according to Garcia and her fellow Democrats) that, er … none of them bothered to find out what Substack was, nor glean what and when both Taibbi and Shellenberger published and in what sequence.

Get ready for seven minutes of brain-warping idiocy on those points, on top of which Democrats apparently now think journalists have a duty to reveal sources to government. And if you think Garcia’s lack of research into Substack is the stupidest moment in this utter fiasco, just wait until she asks about Bari Weiss:

VIDEO

The winner of the stupidest congressional comment of the day, and hopefully the year, the decade, and the century, is this: “So you’re in this as a threesome?”

Republicans always allow RATs to speak over them out of turn. They need to rein that in so their committees are taken seriously.

I have no problem allowing RATs to speak so that people can see what total ignoramuses they are, but you can’t allow them to take over.

This woman is a real stooge.

Youtube is censoring.

We know they are deeply embedded in the fascist state.

Hard to believe what is happening.

The left is either going to panic and do things really stupid and dangerous or they are going to believe they have the next election in the bag and are going to double down and seek retribution.

“So you’re in this as a threesome?”

“Technically it was an orgy, Congresswoman.”

Matt Taibbi and Michael Shellenberger - heroic - both throwbacks to when journalists were brave, tough as nails and sought the truth.

If The GOP can’t see that the Left is at war with us and actually start to play hardball, we’re toast. They need to pull out all the stops, and get those tapes out ASAP.

Common...there is a pretty low bar out there to beat. Can it really beat Hank’s Guam performance?
