Jordan’s big ‘weaponization’ hearing flopped so badly that even Fox News didn’t carry it – By Joan McCarter (Daily Kos) / Feb 10, 2023
To say Barely Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s tenure thus far has been rocky is putting it mildly. It all started with the four-day, 15-vote saga of his crawl to power in which he shed any scrap of dignity or principle with every capitulation to the Freedom Caucus and assorted maniacs he made. His majority had a brief moment of glory when it managed to come together in an act of petty retribution and bigotry to strip a Black Muslim woman, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) of one of her committee assignments.
That led up to this big week, when the plan was to overshadow President Joe Biden’s state of the union address with a couple of blockbuster investigative hearings. It didn’t really work out that way. Biden absolutely owned them Tuesday night, goading them into exposing themselves for what they are. So McCarthy was counting on Jim Jordan and James Comer to give him the comeback of a couple of blockbuster hearings. What they delivered even Fox News wasn’t having.
Comer’s big Oversight hearing on Twitter’s alleged collusion with the FBI to keep them from seeing Hunter Biden’s dick pics didn’t even manage to convince Fox News host Laura Ingraham. Watch her trying to coach GOP Rep. Clay Higgins (LA) into having anything at all real.
Clay Higgins is on Laura Ingraham's show insisting that the ex-Twitter officials he intimidated during a hearing yesterday will be arrested for "probable cause" of crimes he can't specify. Even Ingraham thinks he's full of it. What an embarrassment. pic.twitter.com/MqQsYnX49v
