Fox Cuts Away From Democratic Rep During Jordan's Farce Of A Hearing

Rep. Stacey Plaskett and Jim Jordan went at it during his farce of a hearing on the so-called "weaponization" of government, but you wouldn't know that if you were just watching Fox "news."

Rep. Stacey Plaskett and Jim Jordan went at it during his farce of a hearing on the so-called "weaponization" of government, but you wouldn't know that if you were just watching Fox "news."

As Raw Story reported, Plaskett and Jordan had a testy exchange as she attempted to give her opening statement this morning:

Rep. Stacey Plaskett (D-VI) clashed with Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) on Thursday after she accused Republicans of using a "playbook" that includes "false narratives" about the 2020 election and the Capitol attack on Jan. 6, 2021.

At a House Oversight hearing on government "weaponization," Plaskett blasted Jordan for only providing access to documentation minutes before the event. She compared the tactics to House Speaker Kevin McCarthy's (R-CA) decision to give Fox News host Tucker Carlson thousands of hours of video from Jan. 6.

"This is unacceptable," she explained. "I'm ready for it. I don't know if a lot of other people are, but just as it was unacceptable for Kevin McCarthy to provide 41,000 hours of sensitive security footage to a biased talking head in an effort to rewrite what happened on January 6th."

"This is a new Republican playbook, apparently. Risk American safety and security to score political points," Plaskett insisted.
