Why were Republican leaders like Mike Johnson and James Comer “obliterated” in the hearings?

Ben Meiselas 0:00
Republicans were ripped to shreds at the House of Representatives and in the Senate yesterday. It was a bloodbath. Republican witnesses ripped to shreds. Republican leaders like MAGA Mike Johnson and James Comer obliterated. Let me show you what went down. So the Republicans in the House of Representatives brought on far right. Extremist from the United Kingdom, Nigel Farage, who leads the Reform Party, the so-called Reform Party, a far-right party that attacks Europe, responsible for Brexit. I could go on. And he shows up to try to lecture America about free speech when the type of speech he spews is hate speech, anti-American. American speech, anti-liberal democracy speech. So Democratic Congress member Jared Moskowitz puts him in his place, corners him in a brutal cross-examination, and Nigel Farage is like, I have no opinion about the Epstein file release.
Ben Meiselas 1:08
And then Moskowitz is like, Really? Because you called for it to be released. So are you against yourself or do you agree with it? With yourself, idiot. Here play this clip.
Jared Moskowitz 1:17
You think the list should come out? You think we should know the people who who dealt with Mr. Epstein, Mr. Frush?
Nigel Farage 1:22
I thought I was coming to a hearing on free speech, not process.
Jared Moskowitz 1:25
Oh, well listen, but here's the good
Nigel Farage 1:26
thing. Sounds like you're discussing process. No no Do you think the list should come out? I have no opinion on it. I don't know. So you have
Jared Moskowitz 1:33
So we have victims that were sexually abused by potentially people in power, and we don't know who's on the list.
Nigel Farage 1:40
Hold on, Mr. Frust. We don't know
Jared Moskowitz 1:41
who's on the list. We don't know. We don't know who's on the list. We don't know if the president is or is not. I'm not gonna say he is or isn't. I'm just gonna say these are weird behaviors. We don't know that there aren't other people in Congress that are on the list, right? We we have no idea. Do you think the list should come out? You think people in power should be held to account for these victims who have been sexually abused and assaulted? You think the list should come out?
Nigel Farage 2:02
I think that I'm very happy to come to a different hearing where you talk about legal process.
Jamie Raskin 2:08
Were you aware that he has already called for the Abstein file to be released? It has been reported that he has called for it to be released. Oh
Jared Moskowitz 2:14
yeah, right here. Just to refresh your memory.
Nigel Farage 2:17
Have this not random. But that is not look, you could ask me if you like about about um Do you agree with yourself? Do you agree with yourself?
Jared Moskowitz 2:27
Hold on. Is it it's awkward for your lunch after this? Do you agree with yourself? No, it isn't at all. Okay.
Ben Meiselas 2:31
Next up, Congress member Moskowitz brutally exposes Nigel Farage's uh intentions for the day, which was to go and meet surreptitiously with Donald Trump to plot about whatever the hell they want to do to attack liberal democracies. And Moskowitz is like, oh got it. So just admit you're going to see Donald Trump, like we all know, and watch as Nigel Farage, like the pathetic little weakling that he is, tries to go, Oh, I think it would be wholly inappropriate for me to tell you what my lunch plans are. Here, play this clip.
Jared Moskowitz 3:05
Uh Mr. Froch, thanks for being here coming across the pond. I I'm sorry to hear you're leaving the hearing early.
Nigel Farage 3:12
Well, it's not a question of leaving the hearing early, but I I I do have other things to do. Oh,
Jared Moskowitz 3:16

Nigel Farage 3:16

How did Democratic member Jared Moskowitz confront Nigel Farage about the Epstein files?

Nigel Farage 3:24

Jared Moskowitz 3:28
You can't remember if you're meeting with the president.
Nigel Farage 3:32
