This is the best summary I could come up with:
But Marjorie Taylor Greene took it to the extreme, as she is wont to do, claiming that with the indictments of Donald Trump, “Americans are actually seeing what communism really looks like.”
But I hope that the amount of overwhelming evidence that has come out and continues to pour out will convince those members that are still on the fence.”
Bartiromo then went on to make a specious argument of her own, claiming that the Trump indictments are some kind of distraction from news about Biden’s alleged corruption.
Bartiromo’s allegation — that prosecutors are somehow coordinating their indictments of Trump to distract from Hunter Biden news — would require a massive conspiracy among attorneys across the country.
The timeline is also laughable, with charges against the former president coming sometimes multiple weeks after news broke about Biden’s son.
And the allegations Bartiromo cites against Hunter Biden are often uncorroborated or unverified, unlike much of the evidence in the indictments against Trump.
I'm a bot and I'm open source!
