    McGovern: “And all I can say is the American people deserve better. And they certainly deserve better than the Speaker spending his time trying to influence our justice system at a courthouse in New York City. How pathetic.”

      To be clear, despite the slightly misleading title, the representative himself said it correctly. He said that Trump allegedly committed the crime “in order to avoid a sex scandal”

      I think it’s the other way around. Business funds being spent for campaign purposes (burying a bad story) and not reported as such. One of the defenses they tried to pull was that he didn’t care about the campaign impacts and only wanted to prevent Melania from knowing.

    I wonder how many times we can find Republicans referencing Hunter Biden? Or any number of things they claim beyond simply stating a fact like “Trump is currently charged with…[insert charge but not claim of guilt]”.

      Didn’t EmptyG bring a poster-sized print out of Hunter’s junk onto the floor for some stupid “gotcha”? I don’t recall Republicans getting upset over that.
