Doesn’t matter one bit. Rick Wilson has been rather rational since 2016, but that won’t move the needle in the slightest with the Trump cultists and Fox News crowd. Look at the shitshow the Republicans have been putting on in the hearings - they have no leg to stand on and aren’t even trying to form any cohesive argument. It’s all about going shouty shouty and appearing outraged for the sole purpose of generating some talking points for Fox.

Remember that completely transparent attempt at generating fake drama by trying to get somebody who had been allotted plenty of talking time ask questions when it wasn’t their turn? Fox will turn it into a story about democrats not playing fair and the likes of Brian will lap that crap up like some Pavlovian dog conditioned to swallow shit as soon as the bell rings.

This is a perfect synopsis of the GOP play book. So simple perhaps even Brian could understand.

This is were I would rep you, IF I STILL COULD.
