And Fox News is informational Krokodil.
They testified under oath that he sought a pardon.
He denied seeking a pardon in a TV INTERVIEW. >

I mean he's also denied fucking children, but nobody believes that either. >

Probably eloped a year early so his wife doesn't have to testify about his relationship with those girls.  His... roommate was at the wedding too >


His... roommate

Nestor? >

Nestor? He hardly knew ‘er! >

And don’t call me Shirley >

In the article's attached Twitter video, he has just the slimiest smile as he ramps up on saying what a liar Hutchinson is. He can lie to the media. Let's put that worm under oath and see what happens then. >

It bugs me to no end that Melber didn't simply retort with "So you're willing to go under oath yourself, and accuse Cassidy Hutchinson of lying??"
WHY don't these reporters ever keep these guys' feet to the fire when they start spouting demonstrable lies? >

It hits harder when it's so obvious the lies are. It makes me sick that he can bold-faced lie in public and still have his job. That's so disconnected from the experience the rest of us would be having in a similar situation. >

It really is the fruits of a long running ploy to delegitimize the truth. Now all they have to do is say "fake news" and the targeted people ensconced in their little media bubbles will never be privy to any factual analysis or led to critical thinking. They are literally dumbing down the masses and creating an alternate reality wherein  the likes of Donald Trump and George Santos are not thought of as liars.
It really wasn't that long ago that the scandals surrounding the likes of Santos, Boebert, Gaetz et, al. would have upended their careers and forced them to resign in disgrace. There is no longer such a thing as disgrace it seems. >

Unless people like him actually face some sort of real and impactful accountability, "grilled big time" doesn't mean shit aside from a way to keep your name in the headlines. >

He's a rich white conservative male. That's the grand slam of immunity in corrupt America. >

On some levels, the "keeping your name in the headlines" part bothers me more.
Rich white conservative males not facing accountability has been a thing for ages. It's not good, but it was easier to live in blissful ignorance.
Their names constantly being in the news for being corrupt as shit hasn't. It would be different if we had some way beyond mass societal upheaval to make them face accountability but we don't. Instead we're just stressed and powerless over it. >

Yeah it was definitely more peaceful before the internet and the 24 hour news cycle. Now it's all about being in your face with the loudest content 24/7/365 on every platform imaginable. No wonder people are miserable and on loads of anti-anxiety medication. >
