AND IN WASHINGTON OUR FRIEND A.B. 120Drd IS BACK, ASSOCIATE
EDITOR AND COLUMNIST FOR FOR
REAL CLEAR POLITICS.
CONGRESSMAN, I’D LIKE TO BEGIN
WITH YOU BECAUSE YOUR NAME WAS
ON AN ACTUAL BALLOT THAT PEOPLE
CHOSE OVER YOUR OPPONENT, AND
THAT IS WHERE DOES YOUR PARTY,
YOUR FORMER POLITICAL PARTY,
STAND TONIGHT AT THE END OF WHAT
WE’VE WITNESSED?
WE’VE WITNESSED? >> I THINK IN MANY WAYS TODAY
WAS A LITTLE UNSETTLING TO THE
NATIONAL CONSCIENCE BECAUSE YOU
SAW THE SENATORS IN THEIR
ENVIRONMENT HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY
TO ENGAGE WITH THE PRESIDENT’S
DEFENSE COUNSEL, WITH THE HOUSE
MANAGERS, AND YOU SAW VERY
LITTLE AUTHENTICITY.
LITTLE AUTHENTICITY. IT’S ONE THING TO SEE TED CRUZ
AND LINDSEY GRAHAM AND MARSHA
BLACKBURN ON FOX NEWS AND IN THE
HALLWAYS SPOUTDING THEIR FOX
NEWS TALKING POINTS.
IT’S ANOTHER THING TO SEE THEM
USE THEIR TIME AS A UNITED
STATES SENATOR SUBMITTING
QUESTIONS TO THE CHIEF JUSTICE
OF THE SUPREME COURT PEDDLING
THAT SAME NARRATIVE.
I THINK IN MANY WAYS THAT VERY
LITTLE CHANGED TODAY.
THERE WAS VERY LITTLE SURPRISING
THAT HAPPENED TODAY.
BUT AT THE SAME TIME THE GRAVITY
OF WHAT HAPPENED WAS RE REALIZED
YOU DO HAVE ONE OF THE TWO MAJOR
PARTIES LARGELY DISCONNECTED
FROM ANY INTEREST IN THE TRUTH,
ANY INTEREST IN THE GRAVITY OF
THE MOMENT, PARTICULARLY ON A
DAY WHEN THE PRESIDENT’S
ULTIMATE DEFENSE AS ADAM SCHIFF
SAID EVOLVED ALL THE WAY TO IF
THE PRESIDENT BELIEVES IT’S IN
THE NATIONAL INTEREST TO ENGAGE
IN CORRUPT BEHAVIOR IT’S
NECESSARILY OKAY.
NECESSARILY OKAY. THAT WAS A WATERSHED MOMENT IN
AMERICAN HISTORY THAT HAPPENED
