Why does Fox News claim invoking the Fifth Amendment means guilt?
all right so donald trump's approval is plummeting state regime media known as fox needs a distraction they were attacking former president biden's doctor who invoked the fifth amendment when he was called to testify before a mega republican committee on wednesday and all of the state regime media hosts on fox wanted to let everybody know if you invoke the fifth amendment you are most likely guilty So here you have MAGA Republican James Comer first. He goes on Fox and he says that. Let's play the clip.
The witness, Dr. O'Connor, clearly wasn't going to answer any questions. You plead the fifth usually when you have criminal liability.
And then you've got Fox propagandist Jesse Water saying it. Here, play this clip.
What's O'Connor hiding? When the truth's harmless, no one hides behind the
Fifth. Where did I see somebody invoking the Fifth over and over and over again who's currently in charge right now? No, it's not former President Biden. He didn't do it. Oh, was it Donald Trump at his deposition? Oh, that's right. I have the tape. Let's play it.
So, Mr. Trump, I take it you are not going to answer any questions about your preparation to stay with your counsel. Is that correct? No. Should I say this or should I respond to that? For all of the reasons provided in my answer, which is incorporated herein, in its entirety, I decline to answer the question. Same answer. Same answer. Same answer. Same answer. Same answer. Same answer. Same answer. Anyone in my position not taking the Fifth Amendment would be a fool, an absolute fool. One statement or answer that is ever so slightly off, just ever so slightly, by accident, by mistake, such as it was a sunny, beautiful day when actually it was slightly overcast, would be met by law enforcement at a level seldom seen in this country, because I've experienced it.
The United States Constitution exists for this very Hello.
OK. You know, the didn't Donald Trump said only the mob pleads the fifth. And I'm kind of focused on what's happening right now rather than what former President Biden's doctor. I'm not going to get lost in that trap. But MAGA Republicans want to also let you know with state regime media known as Fox that it was perfectly acceptable for Ted Cruz to be going on vacation while the flood was taking place, while the flash floods. Here's what they said. Let's play it.
I don't understand the lack of compassion, the heartlessness, the lack of any kind of dignity, love, thoughts, prayers, a dollar, lend a hand, donate something, contribute, show up and help from your colleagues on the other side of the aisle. Yes, you're on vacation with your family, good for you, because you worked tirelessly for weeks, if not months, on that big, beautiful bill, and not a single one of the same Democrats now attacking you and President Trump dared vote for that bill. that would help and so the lies have to stop but the sheer lack of compassion and heartlessness is something i just cannot abide acknowledge and accept
oh you should be commended ted cruz that's what kellyanne conway on state regime media says great work you deserve that vacation after the disastrous budget bill while there was a catastrophic flash flood in your state. And it seems that you're always on vacation when these things happen. And yes, you've ripped away Medicaid from 17 million people and you've defunded even more agencies and made the United States that much more dangerous. Kudos, go on vacation, Cancun Cruz. He was in Europe. He was in Greece during when the flash floods hit his state. So then you go to this other Fox show, Will Cain's show. They bring on this guest and I think they're trying to spread. You tell me what they're trying to do.
They're trying to talk about cloud seeding. It's a lot of these MAGA Republicans were trying to imply that in Texas, that's why you have these weather events, not because of COVID. climate change and not because also of the unpreparedness, but because of they're going to this cloud seeding is doing it. So here's what they were talking about on Fox here.
