I enjoyed watching the testimony by Jack Smith about the attempt by you-know-who to subvert our democratic process in 2024. Smith was consistently clear, articulate and measured, and utterly unfazed by the clown show being put on by the Republicans on the committee.
It is clear that Smith is a patriot, fearlessly standing up to charlatans in his defense of our democratic process. But what the heck was going on with those Republicans?
They didn’t dare question the veracity of Smith’s account, since they knew it was all verifiably true. Instead they resorted to hurling third grade insults at him, and defending 47 by clinging to the farfetched theory that the poor boy didn’t actually know that he had lost.
In service of truth and honest representation, shouldn’t Jim Jordan (representative from Ohio) have been wearing clown make-up? That would have been consistent with his agenda during that hearing: Trying desperately to distract from the clear evidence of crimes against our nation by putting on a clown show.
