McCarthy backs bad-faith Biden impeachment boondoggle; GOP revisits 'Benghazi' playbook



Alex Wagner looks back at Kevin McCarthyโ€™s accidental admission that the Benghazi hearings were nothing more than a ploy to damage Hillary Clinton ahead of the 2016 presidential election, and the similarities to the Republican political theater of an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden announced by McCarthy today.ย

  1. I remember the Russia, Russia, Russia, nonsense and two Trump impeachments. Cost the taxpayers millions and kept Congress busy. MSNBC was all for that. The DOJ did admit Hillary did wrongdoing but would not prosecute her… unlike Trump. This is smoke and mirrors folks. Nothing to see here, except President Biden's own words and his son's laptop full of evidence of wrongdoing. It'll be fun to see how MSNBC spins this impeachment inquiry. It's already begun with this video…

  2. Remember how Donna Brazile said she had โ€œproofโ€ Clinton rigged the Democratic-primary against Bernie Sanders? Yeah, I remember too. MSNBC is trying to white wash Hillary and once again vilify Trump and the GOP. Never ends, does it?

  4. Don't believe news media who have been covering for this family. They are only going to tell you stuff that benefits them. Look at what they already found and say that its all made up.

  5. Their entire argument reminds me of an episode of The Boondocks. The absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence. It literally makes ZERO sense, but that's the hill they are willing to d.i.e. on.

  6. Congressperson McCarthy ๐Ÿ˜ตโ€๐Ÿ’ซ should go back to being an auto mechanic, paid to sit around in a garage and turn a wrench, then be a congressperson in my opinion based on my past feelings only and not a statement of fact

    Classic playground poem with whatever geinus child came up with this taunt has been lost in history follows

    GOP liar liar pants on fire or nose as long as a telephone wire ๐Ÿ˜ฒ in my opinion based on my past feelings only and not a statement of fact ๐Ÿ™„

  7. This is the political reality in the US these days….
    Republicans push for everyone to not pay attention to the MOUNTAINS of evidence showing all the different illigal, corrupt and unconstitutional actions and crimes of Donald Trump and his GOP cronies trying everything they can to overthrow Democracy and stop their dear (Orange) leader Donald Trump from being prospected and held responsible for some of his countless criminal actions….
    WHILE….. These same sad people at the same time are trying to go after Joe Biden, despite the very obvious LACK of any evidence of any wrongdoing on his part.
    Yes, hypocrisy thy name is Republican….. (Thy name is also, pathetic, shameful, shameless, ignorant).
    So while trying to ignore the MOUNTAINS of evidence of wrongdoing by their own leader, they are now going on a fishing-expedition to try to find any dirt on their opponent, without any actual factual basis for doing so…. That is just pathetic…
    Pathetic… Unconstitutional… Anti-Democratic… Anti-law&order….
    This is what the GOP/Republican/right-wing has become unde Donald Trump….
    It is just shameful to watch….

  9. The facts don't matter. They've proved this enough times to the extent they have given up even trying to lend any sense of reality to their actions. Let's toss the mud because so many are lazy thinkers (if they even think at all) that enough will stick to achieve the goal. The whole charade is disruption and distraction. "Watch Kevin and the crazy people. Meanwhile the rest of us keep in the shadows while we quietly lift your wallet."

    The world is run by charlatans and thieves and if nothing changes we all burn. Time to admit the general level of ignorance that pervades the human species and start seeking out and empowering the few genuinely intelligent among us. Time stop stop enthralling ourselves to simpletons, narcissists and sociopaths just because they have "charisma".

  10. Good to see MSNBC is following the whitehouse talking points to try to discredit this. I had to laugh when I found out there was a memo for the media. The View messed up and didn't follow the script all the way๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚
