Former Gov. Chris Christie created a firestorm on ABC News’ “This Week With George Stephanopoulos” on Sunday, with what he had to say about the Jan. 6 Committee. Christie pointed out that, to many Republicans, the Committee doesn’t have any credibility. That’s because they don’t have any real Republicans on the Committee to make any points against the Democratic narrative.
The January 6 committee was “resigned to having a credibility problem because of the membership of the committee and the way that was done,” Christie opened by saying.
“There are lots of Republicans across this country who just say, there’s nobody there to argue the other side. Kinzinger and Cheney don’t argue the other side to the extent that there is [sic] some arguments there,” Christie added before both anchor George Stephanopoulos and Brazile jumped down his throat.
That comment sparked outrage from host George Stephanopoulos and fellow panelist Donna Brazile, both of whom have been Democratic operatives.
...
Stephanopoulos claimed there was “no other side,” and Brazile demanded to know, “What is the other side?” Christie spoke about the ability to grill the witnesses, something they would normally have at a hearing, which is missing here. Instead, he said, accurately, it was a television production. Brazile just kept shouting at Christie and would barely let him get in a word edgewise.
When he finally got the chance to speak, Christie said, “There are lots of people inside the White House who now have convenient memories about things that didn’t have memories about them before.” But, the Trump team/Republicans weren’t given that option because that’s not allowed, to challenge the narrative. You’re not allowed to know that Trump spoke about acting “peacefully and patriotically” at his rally before the riot. You’re not allowed to question why Democrats didn’t conduct this like a normal hearing.
But this is the Democrats’ view in general. Trump is guilty of pushing an “insurrection”–because they say so. He isn’t entitled to a defense. It doesn’t matter what he said, or what evidence might rebut their presumptions. They don’t believe in the rule of law, just the rule of the narrative. That’s why everyone on the Committee — including the Republicans — was already solidly anti-Trump, picked for their bias. That’s why House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) in an unprecedented move, rejected members who were picked by the Republican side who might have questioned the Democrats.
The last person who should be talking about “credibility” is Donna Brazile. Can anyone forget how Brazile divulged debate questions to Clinton camp officials during the Democratic primaries in the 2016 race? Even the left excoriated her
...
But Christie accurately noted it’s because of that basic unfairness about the formation of the Committee, that most of America have turned the Committee off. They know it’s about trying to get Trump, not about the riot or the rule of law.
“[I]t’s very hard for Democrats to be able to make this a cutting issue, especially in the light of huge inflation, gas prices, crime in the streets, open borders, drug overdoses, those things are things that are affecting people’s everyday lives and they don’t see it that way,” Christie reasoned.
That’s the bottom line. Democrats are pushing issues that aren’t the top issues of concern to voters. They thought they would use Jan. 6 to smear Republicans. But people know it’s a biased show; it’s backfiring on them because voters don’t think they care about anything else, including the issues that are most important to Americans.
Only an idiot would believe that 4 hour riot was an insurrection.You have to be an idiot to call it a riot unless you never saw Portland on fire burning behind news reporters.
Thanks Christie. You were a useful idiot today.
Revealing what we have all known for a long time. These people are nothing more than activists. Political operatives whose job is propaganda.
They have less credibility than the Jan. 6 Committee if that is possible.
I turned off FOX forever in 2010 or 2011, when they drummed Glen Beck out of there and replaced him with “The Five.”
Glen Beck was on fire at the time, he has since seemed to have lost his mind. I never could stand Hannity or Bill O’Reilly. O’Reilly was so smug and arrogant. Hannity, was always rude and strikes me as doing poor show prep.
.
If you watch the Video, Christie says despite the good work the Committee has done.
And then he says, Investigating Trump is absolutely appropriate.
This is ridiculously weak. Obviously he couldn’t bring himself to actually argue against his benefactors.
.
The GOP wanted Jim Jordan and one other Patriotic Republican, but Pelosi nixed them..
So because the Rs knew it was futile they didn’t try for more.
So they wanted to participate, but Pelosi wouldn’t let them.
So GOP did the right thing which exposed the committee as a witch hunt.
Hannity has inherited the Smugness Host Title since O’REILLY Disgraced himself.
He’s overextened with radio TV and Ainsley.
Yes
If cheating doesn’t work,they will lose.
It might work again
McConnell Grahm et al hope so.
Trying to watch Dana election show but Tarlov dominates.

Not Tucker
I’m surprised he hasn’t been removed.
Plus Levin did a u turn , he was a solid anti Trumper.
He had an hour today with the Real Leader if The Free World, Bibi Netanyahu.
Very good T V
Did any of the people arrested on January 6 have a gun or any weapon on them?
Did any of the people arrested at the Capitol on January 6 have guns or weapons on them?
No one except Tucker has mentioned the huge tumor on Fettermans neck, covered by his Hoodie.

No
But dems insist it was an armed insurrection
Donut eater finally right about something.
Is he feeling well?
This puts them in a bind—they will be tempted to cheat again so they can win and escape punishment but then they will have to deal with millions of voters who are awakened and will be on the look out for any cheating.
Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we study to deceive!
Thanks. They will have to bring the police to testify.
Here is a question for you: how do you have an insurrection if you have no weapons? :>D
insurrection is just a narrative.
They know the sheep will believe it
They are very careful who they call to testify.
They are very careful to not call USCP officers who waved people in just like it was a normal day.
Tucker only regurgitates old worthless, useless news, but pretends it's new. He did an extensive report on what the real Joe Biden was for over 30 yrs in office...He did that more than a year AFTER the 2020 election
Levin rode the Trump money train until election eve 2020. Besides, when it comes to doing what's right, law and order, it has nothing to do with who the President is (except to them) Levin made a comment recently about J6 committee but was very careful to not defend Trump (he would have been fired from Fox in a heartbeat). He's a fraud and a douche.
FWIW Tucker and Hunter are neighbors...just saying.
I turned off FOX forever in 2010 or 2011, when they drummed Glen Beck out of there and replaced him with “The Five.”Glen Beck was exposing the crooked black Communist and his minions. Minions like Valery Jarret and Van Jones to name a few. Van Jones was so bad Obama wasted no time getting rid of him after Glen Beck was exposing his true Communist side.
When Glen Beck started in on Soros, it was more than Fox could take. They had to get rid of him.
