'They need FEMA’s help': Dem details why GOP-led impeachment hearing was really 'that bad'



During Thursday's episode of MSNBC's The Reid Out, United States Representative Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) explained why the House Republicans' first impeachment hearing against President Joe Biden was such a "disaster" for the Republican lawmakers.

Moskowitz emphasized, "This was an unmitigated disaster. It's a shame the Republicans are going to shut down the government, because they need FEMA's help. That's how bad it today was. They were not prepared. In the very first minute, their own witness — and I wasn't surprised, because it was in the testimony that was written — comes out and says, 'Everything you have been working on for the last eight months, everything that you have presented to the American people does not rise to the level of impeachment.' That's their own witness. It was awkward. It was just like, I started to feel kind of bad, like this is clearly what they didn't plan for Fox News today."

Host Joy Reid replied, "I mean, Jonathan Truly is not someone who is not interested in getting Democrats. He's pretty motivated, I think, to try to find some reason to impeach Joe Biden. I think his team would love to do it, if they could say to do it, he would. He didn't. He said, 'No there's nothing here.' Their forensic accountant, his name is Bruce Dubinsky also said, 'Mm mm, there's nothing.' Eileen O'Connor, a former assistant attorney general in the Justice Department's tax division said, 'Nothing.' Was there a single witness, congressman, on their side who presented evidence that Joe Biden somehow was taking bribes, apparently during the timeline when he was neither president nor vice president? Because all this was supposed to have taken place when he was sitting at home in Delaware."

POLL: Should Trump be allowed to hold office again?

Moskowitz replied, "No. not a single shred of evidence, not a new fact, nothing. this was a recitation of the last eight months. It was a panel to kind of comment on what the Republicans have been working on. All he did was say, you know, 'The Biden family, and Hunter Biden, and Jill Biden, and Commander Biden' — the dog. You know, they never mentioned Joe Biden. They never say, 'Joe Biden did X,' because it's not there. There's no evidence of that. By the way, they filed articles of impeachment — some of them filed articles of impeachment two weeks into the Biden administration, right after January 6th, before a single hearing took place. So, if they're so gung-ho —Joy they refuse to call the vote. I gave them the opportunity to call the vote, 'Right now, call the vote for impeachment in the hearing.' And Comer pretended like i didn't even say it. It's because they don't have the votes, because they don't have any evidence on Joe Biden."

How misinformation could shape the Israel-Hamas war

Image
I wanted to interview Nicholas Grossman regarding the role of misinformation in the war between Israel and Hamas. In particular, I hoped to ask the professor of international relations at the University of Illinois, and senior editor of Arc Digital , about misinformation that arose from American reporting on an explosion at a hospital in Gaza. You know what? I ended up repeating a bit of misinformation! I asked him to lay out the facts about a blast that “killed hundreds, including kids,” and he said nuh-uh (not his words). In fact, Professor Grossman said, “there never were hundreds killed by an explosion at that hospital. Media reported that the hospital was destroyed by an Israeli airstrike killing 500, but that was based on something a Hamas-controlled agency said and was never supported by evidence.” Professor Grossman went on to say “what apparently did happen is something hit a nearby parking lot and caused a smaller explosion, most likely a rocket fired from Gaza towards I

PA GOP Senate candidate who says he 'started with nothing' actually grew up in a mansion

Image
David McCormick, who is Pennsylvania's presumptive Republican U.S. Senate nominee, has often suggested he grew up poor in a rural community. But a new report finds that his upbringing was far more affluent than he's suggested. The New York Times reported Friday that McCormick — a former hedge fund executive who lived in Connecticut as recently as 2022 — has been cagey with voters about his childhood. McCormick has tweeted that he was "raised in Bloomsburg working on his family's farm," said on a 2022 podcast that he " started with nothing " and told CBS News that same year that he " didn't have anything " growing up as the son of two schoolteachers. But according to the Times , McCormick's father, Dr. James H. McCormick , was appointed president of what is now Bloomsburg University by Gov. Milton Schapp (D) in 1973. He moved his family into Buckalew Place — the official mansion for presidents of the school that currently spans 5

'It is his aphrodisiac': Ex-RNC chair explains how gag order 'stimulates' Trump and his base

Image
As President Donald Trump faces gag orders in two separate cases — one from Judge Arthur Engoron presiding over his New York civil fraud trial, and the other from Judge Tanya Chutkan, who will preside of his Washington, DC January 6 trial in March — some experts expect him to violate the orders soon. With a history of threatening and verbally attacking others, MSNBC's Deadline: White House host Nicolle Wallace on Tuesday pointed to the fact the ex-president's rhetoric influenced January 6 rioters who chanted, "Hang Mike Pence!" Noting Trump "gets deeply stimulated and excited by the violence," Wallace asked analyst and ex-Republican National Committee Chair Michael Steele what he thinks the MAGA hopeful's "calculation is on whether violating these gag orders lands him in jail is a good thing or bad thing for him." POLL : Should Trump be allowed to hold office again? Steele replied, "You put your finger on two very important words t
