it does seem far-fetched. but if people hear it over and over andover again, he said it so much, you didn t know where he stood. he just wanted to pound it into people s heads to confuse and doubt credible news sources, therefore, they gravitate to their own teams and pods to get that information. i can assure you, talking to officials in the last 48 hours, this is not something they wanted. after the first few months with the strong vaccine numbers, they hit a road block this summer. delta caught them by surprisele they re afraid it s happening again as they try to focus on his agenda, the second part of the build back better act and now with the supply chain crisis, this variant could reset that and endanger further. they know this is politically pearlous for the president as they try to navigate a variant
putin ordered the russian effort to back computer networks and accounts affiliated with the democratic party and lack information damaging to hillary clinton and her campaign for president. moscow s intent was to harm the clinton campaign, tarnish an expected clinton presidential administration, help the trump campaign after trump became the presumptive republican nominee, and undermine the u.s. democratic process, so said marco rubio s senate intel committee run by republicans. on the man who kicked off the federal investigation into the 2016 trump campaign, by the way, not steele, but the man who actually kicked it off? the committee found that papadopoulos likely learned about the campaign in as early as 2016 with a maltese academic
attorneys general. the trump supporters seeking office claim they just want to secure the system. a spokesperson for the former president did not respond to a request for comment. joe? let s bring in columnist from the new york times and con trib thor to the atlantic, david brook. his piece is titled the terrifying future of the american right. david, terrifying look into the future. explain. terrifying for me. it was a conference in orlando in november called the national conservatism conference. it was some of the bright young thens that populate the building behind me, young heritage foundation staff, journalists and bunch of senators. senator cruz, senator hawley, marco rubio. the crew, the generation like me, were naive and we wanted the best for the country and didn t know how to get there. that is viewed as passe now.
dismiss omicron as a hoax is demented and depressing on multiple levels. it suggests that republicans have learned nothing from their unwillingness to take covid-19 seriously in 2020 because they thought it would hurt donald trump s re-election chances. but while democrats benefitted politically from trump s calamitous miss handling of the pandemic, its persistence, with its attendant supply chain woes and surging inflation is now hurting president biden. indeed at the same time that republicans fight vaccine mandates and continue to play down the risk of covid-19, they also shamelessly attack biden for not ending the pandemic. you would think that such a shameness ploy, hampering
trump could live to be 200 years oeg, those superior genes, blah, blah, you knew he was an idiot. now he s running for office and he said, the democrats have hatched this. he knows it s a lie, a shameless stupid lie. but it s also a shameless stupid lie. even the conspiracy theory doesn t make sense. biden s numbers go down when the covid goes up. it s stupidity, like next level stupidity, and yet it works for some really stupid people out there. can i say that? can i say that on tv? it works for some really stupid people out there who just refuse to get information from sources other than facebook or chinese religious cults. right. it s about conditioning the lie. it s repetition of the lie.
