That it's a political show and doesn't address actual problems of the American people.

So by your logic the Watergate hearings shouldn't have happened because they ""didn't address actual problems of the American people?"

Watergate was a nothing burger blown up into a huge scandal by the MSM for the purpose of getting rid of a president the people had elected 40 states to 1.

A minor, second rate burglary by some clowns that Nixon knew nothing about.

Hence the media had to create a narrative to make it seem like something.

With:

What did the president know and when did he know it?

It's not the crime but the cover-up.

He knew nothing about it before the MSM broke it.

What cover-up? By the time he knew about it the story was worldwide

Nixon ended the war in Vietnam. The Military Industrial Complex had to find a way to get rid of him.

If the majority of Dem politicians and their voters had stated that the guy doing the shooting was right then maybe you'd have a point but they didn't and you don't.

The issue is less the insurrection and more the attempt to reverse the election but you're just too brain dead to see this.

I honestly don’t think a “majority” of GOP voters and politicians agree with the actions on January 6th. Where do you get that idea. Most I’ve seen condemn the actions but also think that these hearings are obviously political theater. So, you want to judge an entire party based on the actions of a few, why shouldn’t I do the same for other political parties? You’re “majority” argument isn’t based on reality.

Is there some Fox News / conservative pundit who uses this phrase or something? I keep seeing it being thrown around and hadn't really ever heard it before.

I remember being unfamiliar with the term when I heard a former boss use it often in 2005 or 2006. It does seem to have become more common in the last few years, so maybe someone prominent does use it now.

The insurrection was all part of an attempt to overturn the election deemed to be full of fraud. Whether that was orchestrated or not, the attempt to overturn the election appears to have happened.

The GOP voters polled to a majority believe that the election was fraudulent.

Believing the election was fraudulent does not equate to supporting the actions taken on January 6th.

I have to disagree there. If a person had the true belief deep down in their soul, no matter how factually flawed, that a presidential election was being stolen, and they did nothing to try and stop the stealing, then that person is a coward.

It's the same with abortion. If a person truly believed that a million babies were being murdered every year, and did nothing to try and physically stop it, then that person is a coward.
