For the last 72 hours, media have been running around Washington DC asking Republican senators if they would ‘watch the hearings?’ The universal answer has been … ‘no’.
The reason is simple. The GOP is signalling to its base that they, too, shouldn’t watch. Afterall … if you don’t watch, you can’t hear the evidence. And if you don’t hear the evidence, the veil of the right wing propaganda machine will remain pure.
There can only be one source of truth and in the GOP world, the sources of ‘truth’ they control are sacrosanct to their ability to control their voters.
If you know a Republican or a right-leaning voter, encourage them to watch. Ask them if they are watching. Remind them this is a seminal moment in our history and they should at least give it a glance.
