'BradCast' 2/2/2023 (Evidence Suggests Hunter Biden Reads Newspapers, Not Classified Docs)
On today's 'BradCast':\xa0 GOP Debunking Week continues as the Republican majority in the US House launched partisan investigations and dropped all pretense of solving problems or pursing policies. House Republicans explicitly stated that their 'investigations' will focus solely on seeking dirt on Joe Biden and family, and they will ignore the mountains of evidence of influence peddling by Donald Trump and family. The Washington Post's fact-checker eviscerated Republicans' silly claims of a 'suspicious email' on Hunter Biden's laptop, which actually contains public information from major news outlets and no classified information. Hunter Biden has begun pushing back on the rightwing smear campaign, initiating legal actions warning rightwing media to retract their defamatory coverage, and calling for federal investigations into entities that disseminated and broadcast his personal data. New focus groups show that independent voters in several states are angry that House Republicans are not focusing on solving real problems, after campaigning on solving high crime, high inflation, and more. Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) delivered fiery, inspiring remarks on the House floor after Republicans voted along party lines to remove her from the House Foreign Affairs Committee in retaliation for Democrats' disciplinary actions in the last session.
