UH-OH: Trump Tampering with Witnesses According to Riot Cmte Member
Donald Trump’s reaction to the January 6th congressional committee appears to be a clear-cut case of witness tampering. CNN’s Brianna Kellar asked committee member Representative Pete Aguilar about this by mentioning Trump’s recent promise to pardon January 6th defendants if he gets back in the White House. Aguilar called Trump’s remarks “absolutely” witness tampering and said it was an indictment of the Republican Party that they won’t reprimand him over this. The congressman asked “when is enough enough? When a mob is chanting ‘hang Mike Pence’ it wasn’t enough. When the former president asked Brad Raffensperger to find him 11,000 votes it wasn’t enough. Now he’s dangling pardons if he gets back in office for individuals. Will that be enough or will there be more collective amnesia?” Trump has a long history of tampering with investigations as was seen with the Russia and Ukraine probes. Clearly he hasn’t learned his lesson, and ultimately, it may be the job of Congress and the Department of Justice to teach him one.
Marjorie Taylor Greene Psychotic Break with Alex Jones
Marjorie Taylor Greene went on Alex Jones’s show yesterday and told so many lies within a one-minute span that some are likening it to a psychotic break. MTG criticized mask-wearing and the COVID vaccines, falsely claiming that both of them don’t work. She said that “people who are vaccinated are still getting COVID,” which is of course true, but immunized people are far less likely to get a severe or deadly case of the virus. Marjorie Taylor Greene then claimed that it was wrong for doctors to deny their patients ivermectin, apparently believing it to be a miracle drug. As if the rant couldn’t get any crazier, she brought up the VAERS system which is a darling of the American right, but is just a bunch of anecdotal and unsubstantiated reports of what supposedly happened to people after taking the vaccine. Jones happily nodded along to what MTG was saying, and surely the audience enjoyed it as well.
From yesterday’s show:
Whoopi Goldberg Very Confused About Holocaust, SUSPENDED from The View
Whoopi Goldberg has been suspended from “The View” for two weeks over comments she made about the Holocaust not being “about race.” Goldberg argued that the Holocaust was “white people doing it to white people,” and so it was different than issues that are divided among racial lines. Of course, some would argue that humans should not be categorized into racial and ethnic groups. But if we do accept that there are racial and ethnic groups, it’s important to point out that the Jewish people are indeed an ethnic group. Of course, Judaism is a religion as well, but the two are not mutually exclusive. There are indeed other examples of ethnoreligious groups like the Copts in Egypt and the Yazidis in Iraq. This isn’t to say that Goldberg deserves to be suspended for what she said. However, she did push a narrative about the Holocaust not being a racial issue, which is definitionally untrue.
From yesterday’s show:
Trump LOSES IT, Demands Mike Pence Be Investigated for NOT Stealing Election
Donald Trump published a statement earlier this week demanding that Mike Pence be investigated for not stealing the 2020 election for him. Trump has been arguing recently that Pence did indeed have the right to reject Biden’s electoral votes because now legislators are trying to codify the appropriate counting process into law. In fact, the only reason Democrats and moderate Republicans are doing this is so that the language on counting electoral votes is crystal clear in case future presidents try to do what Trump attempted. Nevertheless, he put out a statement that read in part, “the Unselect Committee should be investigating why Nancy Pelosi did such a poor job of overseeing security and why Mike Pence did not send back the votes for recertification or approval, in that it has now been shown that he clearly had the right to do so!” The 2020 election was now well over a year ago, yet Trump cannot put this issue to rest, even when many of his loyal supporters have moved on.
