Nikki Haley: "Move on, give Trump a break"

[R.P. McM]

Yeah, let's launch the 117th investigation into Benghazi or Hillary's e-mails instead of focusing on an insurrection spurred on by the president a couple of weeks ago.

Who is saying we need to reopen investigations into Benghazi or Hillary's emails?

The martyr complex is strong with this one, Atlas

It's the sheer hypocrisy of wanting to "move on" from an insurrection that literally JUST happened, while the GOP was preoccupied for YEARS on end with those two pseudo-scandals.

The GOP dropped its fascination with both of these scandals as soon as Clinton was defeated, IIRC

Maybe Congressional Dems should do the same

They can't. They have the House & Senate, so they know when things will go down the toilet, people will blame them. So instead of reasonable governing, like balanced budgets, reasonable spending, no tax raises, taking care of the pandemic, etc. They need Trump at the front page so people will shy away from their incompetence.

Along with "patriotism" and "moral values," "balanced budgets" is a term I just don't think Republicans have any credibility to utter ever again. Obviously, you're entitled to keep saying it, but not entitled to be taken seriously when you do. At this point, it's just farcical.
