So, if I understand this correctly, Josh Marshall from Talking Points Memo picked up a tweet from Arlen Parsa commenting on Trump’s reaction on Truth Social to the January 6 hearing video clip of Ivanka stating that she believed Bill Barr when he told her that her father had lost the election.
Marshall adds this at the TPM link above:
However, the former president’s jab at his daughter on Friday was nothing compared to the way he roasted Barr (who sucked!) as he was having a full-on meltdown over the hearing.
“Bill Barr was a weak and frightened Attorney General who was always being ‘played’ and threatened by the Democrats and was scared stiff of being Impeached,” Trump ranted.
Barr was also “stupid” and a “coward” (and sucked!), according to the former president.
The Hill has a bit more of the former guy’s reaction to hearing day 1.
“So the Unselect Committee of political HACKS refuses to play any of the many positive witnesses and statements, refuses to talk of the Election Fraud and Irregularities that took place on a massive scale,” Trump wrote in a post. “Our Country is in such trouble!”
They also reference this from Bill Barr:
“I told him that it was crazy stuff and they were wasting their time on that and that it was doing great, great disservice to the country,” Barr said in a clip.
What Liz Cheney said:
“Those who invaded our Capitol and battled law enforcement for hours were motivated by what President Trump had told them: that the election was stolen, and that he was the rightful president,” Cheney said. “President Trump summoned the mob, assembled the mob and lit the flame of this attack.”
Now if we can just get something to wipe the smirk off Jared Kushner’s face…
A few indictments would be a good followup.
UPDATE: And then there’s this take on how Fox News — which refused to carry any of this — tried to counter-program the hearing. LOL
