The Barr Hearing and The Triumph Of Small People In An Era Of Great Events
< < Go Back
The videos shown by the rival parties captured the utter absurdity of the day. Republicans played what could only be described as eight minutes of virtual “riot porn” for the hard right. By the end, one would think much of the nation is a smoking dystopian hellscape. Democrats then played their alternate reality video showing thousands of protesters chanting together in perfect harmony. Add a soundtrack to the scene and you would have a soda commercial. There was nothing in the middle: either the protests are either our final Armageddon or the Garden of Eden.
As in the Barr hearing, Rep. Waters is doing the same technique of reclaiming time before Dr. Redfield can answer questions on the change in reporting data to the White House. He was trying to say the changes were made to speed the exchange of information.https://t.co/9QdX46mlS6
