Republicans Are All About Weaponizing the Government
Good morning from the Hive newsroom! House Republicans have started their investigation into the “weaponization of the federal government.” The committee was basically crafted to “Benghazi” Joe Biden at the pleasure of Tucker Carlson and Fox News viewers, Molly Jong-Fast says. Though, as Bess Levin points out Republicans’ inquiry into Hunter Biden hasn’t exactly been a total slam dunk for the right, after it exposed Donald Trump having some pretty thin skin over a Chrissy Teigen tweet.
In case you missed it, Eric Lutz breaks down Sarah Huckabee Sanders’s response to Joe Biden’s State of the Union, in which she raged against the “woke mob.” And, Caleb Ecarma offers a brief history of the many times Republicans have called for Social Security and Medicare cuts, despite their performative outrage about Biden’s assertion on the subject last night. Elsewhere, Charlotte Klein spots Ron DeSantis suggesting Florida make it easier for people to sue media outlets. Thanks for reading!
