On Fox News, anchor Molly Line asked RNC chair Ronna McDaniel what she thinks is “the most important question” that “Republicans should get to the bottom of” when they take over the House next week.

If McDaniel’s response is any guide, you can forget any solutions for the cost of health care and gasoline, climate change, immigration or just about anything else on your wish list unless it’s a power play for MAGA Republicans.

“Well, we have to govern. We have to do things on behalf of the American people,” McDaniel said, without naming a single thing.

She did go into detail on plans to stick it to the Biden administration.

MCDANIEL: I do think we have to look at big tech and the suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop and real information that was prevented from getting to the voters because of big tech and the Biden administration and Democrats colluding together.

Actually, that’s a load of MAGA disinformation. In his analysis of this fake scandal, The Daily Beast’s Roger Sollenberger pointed out that the FEC voted last year, 6-0, with two Republican commissioners issuing a statement that Twitter had not acted for “the purpose of influencing an election.” That was in response to complaints that included one from the RNC, by the way.

Line is supposedly a straight journalist but she did not correct the record for viewers.

McDaniel continued with the GOP’s do-nothing-for-everyday-Americans agenda: investigating the origins of COVID (translation: MAGA-fy science, more smears of Dr. Anthony Fauci). “We should all look back and say, “How did this happen, why did this happen, were we given clear information, why were our kids kept out of school, what were the policies that worked and what didn’t?” McDaniel said. She didn’t say a word about solving the current crisis in health care that COVID and other epidemics have caused.

“And this is what winning the Republican majority in the House is going to bring the American people,” McDaniel added.

She’s undoubtedly right about that.
