Fox Hosts Mock Liz Cheney and the Jan. 6 Committee’s Glorious Self-Own – Opinion

We covered previously how Rep. Liz Cheney (RINO-WY) and the Jan. 6 Committee were trying to tarnish Donald Trump, Jr, as well as Fox News hosts Laura Ingraham, Sean Hannity, and Brian Kilmeade, regarding texts that they sent Mark Meadows, President Donald Trump’s Chief of Staff, on Jan. 6. But contrary to the claims of Cheney and the liberal media, the texts not only exonerated all those folks, but the texts also showed that the Fox hosts and Trump, Jr. had no idea that the riot was going to happen, that they were shocked, and that they were immediately urging Meadows to see if there was anything he could do to help stop it — and Meadows responded he was working on a statement calling for just that for Trump. So it was a brilliant self-own by Cheney when Trump’s own son demonstrated there was no involvement in the riot.

So what are the Liz Cheney and the liberals left with now that they’ve embarrassed themselves with this Committee? There is no evidence of coordination, just as there has never been any Russia collusion. The only thing they left was an attempt to attack Fox News hosts. They will also be attempting to make Republicans look like Jan. 6-rioters or white supremacists. There is no evidence to support that. They didn’t need it. The whole purpose of this isn’t about evidence, it’s about attacking people before the next election. Democrats are well aware that 2022 is going be a bloodbath, and that this is their only defense. They have nothing to answer the horrible job that they and Joe Biden have done over the past year, so they’re trying the best they can to deflect from those failures, the record inflation, and the surging crime — the things that truly matter to the American public.

If this was just about them embarrassing themselves, I’d laugh and move along because I don’t think a lot of Americans are paying attention to the farce. But it’s not about finding any crimes, it’s about them using their power to persecute their political opponents, as Tucker Carlson notes. And that’s something that we all should be calling out whenever we see it. Because that’s what is the true attack on norms in our country. Tucker Carlson pointed out that they were unsuccessful in their efforts because text messages did not support Cheney or the Democrats.

Laura Ingraham took down the attack, noting that her tweets against the riot and her comments on the show were in line with them. At the start of her show, she laughs with Sean Hannity about the incident and gets to the meat at approximately 24:24.

Ingraham ridiculed the efforts of Cheney, the Committee and noted that Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R.Illinois) and Cheney are both likely to be MSNBC hosts after they have resigned from their respective positions. This seems like a good bet, considering they won’t succeed in their delusional attempts for a higher political post. One of the funniest lines in Ingraham’s take on the whole mess is her laughing at the Democrats following Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger over the cliff on this. “Would Obama or Clinton have been “that stupid” to follow those two anywhere?” she laughed.

Ingraham also had on the Washington Examiner’s Byron York and Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH). York stated that part of the controversy was related to Fox host attacks. As we reported, CNN’s Don Lemon gave up that game when he said that Fox hosts should therefore be barred from White House briefings. Jordan said that Mark Meadows had been tried to get him imprisoned. Is it not cooperating in a trial by show? They want to lock Republicans up for no crime — for the sin of being in their way in their relentless effort to get Trump. To tar Trump for future campaigns, that is all it comes down to.

But here’s the bottom line: They will be crushed by their fixation on Trump and this. While they’re focused on this, the American people know they aren’t focused on or caring about the things upon which they should be focused — like sound economic policies. On balance, not only is this effort not going to help them, but it’s going to damage them badly, come 2022. You have to love when Democrats and their followers do it for themselves.
