Earlier this week, Daily Kos Senior Political Writer Joan McCarter joined the Michelangelo Signorile Show on SiriusXM to talk about events leading up to the impeachment hearings, as well as Republicans’ strategy to protect Donald Trump throughout the hearings.
McCarter raises concerns about the sudden focus on Burisma Holdings: “How could this obscure company be so significant to you? How could you care so much about ‘corruption’ in this one company?”
She also discusses the constant moving of goalposts that have freed Republicans to shift their standards regarding what constitutes wrongdoing:
“We’re at the point now where it’s ‘he tried to do a crime, but it didn’t actually happen. Ukraine actually got the aid, so no harm no foul, doesn’t matter, not a crime, doesn’t count.’ It just shows how morally bankrupt they really are. All of this goes back to Russia — we have a foreign power interfering in our elections, and that’s okay. And now we have the President trying to get another foreign government to interfere in the next election, and that’s just fine.”
