News Busters
On Friday’s The ReidOut, MSNBC’s Joy Reid did not take the news well that the incoming House GOP majority will conduct investigations into Hunter Biden with panelist Stuart Stevens alleging such a move proves the party is akin to a “narco-cartel.” Meanwhile, Reid also accused Evangelicals in the party of trying to make Gov. Ron DeSantis “the new Jesus.”
Strangely, Reid wondered why the GOP base doesn’t punish Republican politicians for such things, “You know, and Stuart, I mean is, I guess the thing is there’s no accountability from the Republican base, right? Will there be any punishment or any consequences for telling your base that this is an election about inflation and crime and then doing literally nothing on those two subjects and just doing weird investigations?”
As hard as it may be for Reid and the rest of the media to understand, Republicans will be plenty capable of managing more than one priority at a time. Still, despite being a former Republican campaign manager, Stevens showed a lack of understanding of what exactly a political party is, “You know, Joy, the thing about the Republican Party that sometimes is hard for some of us who worked in the party to grasp is the Republican Party is what it wants to be. It is not a governing party anymore. It is a party that is about one thing, and that is the acquisition of power. That’s how cartels are, that’s how narco-cartels are.”
