A morning-after hearing recap worth reading
Jun 14, 2022 08:09:57 #
Bob Hoge at Redstate.com has a morning-after recap of the Democrats’ January 6 Committee Show Trial, and his assessment is that it “landed with a thud.”
https://redstate.com/bobhoge/2022/06/10/heavily-hyped-primetime-jan-6-committee-hearing-lands-with-a-thud-n576889
His take: There was a lot of innuendo and guilt by association with little evidence to back it up; nothing new other than “never before seen” riot footage that looked just like footage we’ve already seen;
a claim that some Oath Keepers members were “armed anti-government extremists” without noting that they weren’t armed when they came to the Capitol;
and an admission that the Proud Boys went to the Capitol before Trump even started speaking, which undermines their claim that his speech incited the riot.
And of course, no mention of the only person actually killed that day, unarmed protester Ashli Babbitt.
Hoge calls the hearing “a disaster for Democrats” that proved nothing other than that “a riot is a scary place to be.” The Dems are planning seven more hearings worth of this one-sided propaganda, but they won’t be in prime time, so we have to assume they must’ve front-loaded it with the best arguments they had.
If that’s the best they’ve got, here’s a crazy idea: how about canceling the seven more sessions of this and spending the time on something else, like maybe reducing inflation, increasing oil and gas production to bring down prices, securing the border or getting the supply chain crisis solved? Or are they deliberately avoiding doing any of that because that’s what Trump would do?

This farce filled with lies, omitted truth and spin plus abortion is all Democrats have to run on.
