RIGHT-WING REPS PROMOTE RACIST CONSPIRACY THEORIES IN ‘BORDER CRISIS’ HEARING

https://www.texasobserver.org/border-cr ... op-racism/
After securing a slim majority in the House of Representatives, Republicans held an hours-long hearing of the House Judiciary Committee focused on “border security, national security, and how fentanyl has impacted American lives” on Wednesday. The February 1 hearing was but the first of a series of hearings focused on the border organized by the new Republican majority, who are intent on using it as a political weapon to repeatedly cudgel their opponents.

Titled “The Biden Border Crisis—Part One,” Republicans used the hearing as an opportunity to browbeat the president for his border policies. In response, Democrats and their supporters criticized the hearing as a publicity stunt that platformed extremism and nativist conspiracy theories.

Ahead of the hearing, Representative Greg Casar a newly elected Democrat representing the 35th District in Texas, did not mince words about what he expected.

“Right-wing members of Congress are openly embracing racist conspiracy theories, stoking fear, and spreading lies about immigrants,” Casar told members of the press. “Despite the very real and dangerous consequences their policies have.”

The past two years have seen record-high encounters with migrants along the southwest border, which are driven largely by rampant violence, political instability, extreme weather, and severe economic hardships related to COVID-19 in countries south of the border.
“If everyone fought for their own convictions there would be no war.” ― Leo Tolstoy, War and Peace

Looks like Republicans cut the power because they were humiliating themselves so badly.

Sounds like time for a remix of an old favorite...
That's the night the lights went out in Congress,
That's the night pubs hung themselves out to dry
Well, don't trust your soul to a Republican congressman

I'm sure Jordan will be holding hearings next week about the deep state plot to silence the GOP by turning out the lights ... JUST as he was about to Reveal The Thing that would prove that Hunter's laptop stole all the votes from TFG.

Is there a topic for the idiotic House committee to investigate Twitter's "conspiracy" to bury Hunter Biden dick pi/laptop story? I listened to very short segments and the only thing that is being proven is:

1. Biden Administration/Campaign never asked Twitter to block or kill any story or post

2. Trump Administration constantly threated Twitter if they didn't block or kill any post that Trump didn't like.

Republicans should be embarrassed.
There's a lot of things that need to change. One specifically? Police brutality.

3. Twitter literally changed the rules to make tfg's posts within them when he colored outside the lines.
