Watch: Side-by-side GOP reactions to Trump and Hunter Biden convictions
Abby Phillip exposed the GOP’s paradoxical responses to Hunter Biden's and Donald Trump’s convictions on CNN Wednesday. "The moment, of course, creates the split screen of conservatives who just 12 days ago were slamming the rule of law, slamming the judge, the jury, and the verdict in Donald Trump's Manhattan trial,” she said. “Some even claimed the conviction was the end of the republic as we know it. But tonight they seem to be singing from a completely different tune." She then showed a split screen supercut of Fox News pundits like Jeanine Pirro whining that Trump’s conviction “goes against the ilk of who we are as Americans and our faith in the criminal justice system” and subsequently describing Hunter’s conviction as proof “that clearly no one is above the law.” YouTube Video It cannot be overstated how abjectly hypocritical the GOP’s reaction to Hunter’s conviction has been. Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland and Rep. Jim McGovern of Massachusetts pointed out in one of the many Republican-led committee circus hearings the disparity in responses from the right and the consistency in responses from the other side of the aisle—including from the president himself. Now the GOP has retreated into conspiracy theories to try to make sense of its bankrupt logic. This includes space laser aficionado Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who equated Trump’s conviction with Jesus’ crucifixion. “Hunter Biden just became the Deep State’s sacrificial lamb to show that Justice is ‘balanced’ while the other Biden crimes remain ignored,” she tweeted. It’s as if the GOP-controlled House should set up a committee of oversight so they can investigate all of these hidden “Biden crimes” that are being “ignored.” Maybe they could get someone like Rep. James Comer of Kentucky to investigate? Regardless, in the end, there is no logic that can overcome MAGA’s cult-like obsession with feeling aggrieved. Hopium Chronicles' Simon Rosenberg joins Markos to discuss the “red wave-ification” of the economy and how prepared Democrats are for November. There is still work to do but we have a better candidate—and we have the edge. Embedded Content Campaign Action
