Schumer, Jeffries ask Murdoch to stop Fox hosts lying about 2020 election
The Hill ^ | 03/01/2023 | ALEXANDER BOLTON

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) have sent a letter to Fox Corporation Chairman Rupert Murdoch asking him to stop Fox News personalities from “spreading false election narratives,” warning they could lead to “further acts of political violence.”

The Democratic leaders focus on Fox News host Tucker Carlson, who has received exclusive access from Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) to review security footage from the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol. “We demand that you direct Tucker Carlson and other hosts on your network to stop spreading false election narratives and admit on the air that they were wrong to engage in such negligent behavior,” Schumer and Jeffries wrote.

The Democratic leaders point to Murdoch’s deposition testimony in which he acknowledged several network hosts “endorsed” false narratives about the 2020 election being stolen and that he and other Fox executives didn’t stop them.

The rats biggest fear is the exposure of the 20 and 22 thefts. They react with everything they have to suppress any outbreaks of the truth. This is their highest priority by far.

This is when a man of character would order or suggest to all shows on his network to pummel the democrats on their shows over all the false narratives and accusations they have ever made.

That is rich, Schumer and Jefferies saying no more lying. If that is to happen, those two will be mute.

This must mean they’re losing control of the story line.

Schumer, Jeffries, Biden need not worry.

Their election fraud secrets are just as safe with Tucker/Fox/Murdoch as they've always been.

Having the proof/evidence of the fraud against a sitting President and a nation in their hands only makes it MORE secure.

The outspoken haters of Trump, pretending to be patriots were given a gift by McCarthy...at our expense.

The Murdochs along with all of Fox can rot in hell.

I pray for the sake of the J6 prisoners continuing to rot in the DC gulag, that this is not the case.

But this does raise the question of why the footage was not released to all media outlets?

🤔

P.S. And I hate to have to say it: But with it only being given to one person, how do we know it's not going to be altered or destroyed in sone way?
