MAGA Republicans are at it again, altering evidence during congressional hearings to try to attack witnesses as part of whatever their agenda is. So here's what went down this past week. The MAGA Republicans held a Doge committee hearing. where they subpoenaed the head of United States fencing, like the sport fencing, because the MAGA Republicans saw some story on Fox about a transgender fencer, so they wanted to go and attack the head of USA Fencing, even though they received zero federal funding. So here's what went down. The MAGA Republicans were trying to pretend that the head of USA fencing who received all of these death threats as a result of the doxing from Fox and the MAGA Republicans, that he was giving the middle finger in a selfie like F you, America. And he was actually holding up two fingers.

But what the MAGA Republicans did in the photo was they cropped out one finger to make it look like he was giving the middle finger to the American people. Now, fortunately, Democratic Congresswoman Stansberry had the actual photo. She was ready to go. And she showed what the MAGA Republicans were doing here to lie, deceive and defame this witness, the head of USA Fencing. It's like, why am I even here? Why are you attacking me? Here, play this clip.
Transgender Fencer Witness 1:26
I had already spent the money on competition fees and new equipment and spent hours training. I felt trapped. I had been defrauded of a women's tournament and sold a lie by USA Fencing.
Reporter 1:37
Now, one big fight, Martha, has been over a picture of the chairman. Chairwoman Marjorie Taylor Greene actually brought it up during the hearing, and Democrats said this was a big misrepresentation. Watch this.
Chairperson 1:51
Mr. LaFelte came in here today saying that this is game day. You're right, Mr. LaFelte, this is game day.
Democratic Congress Member Garcia 2:00
The document that you have up behind you is a misrepresentation of the actual post. It appears that you're trying to misrepresent a witness here.
Ben Meiselas 2:08
One other thing that we should note about this guy who runs USA Fencing, he's received a ton of death threats because of things that I just showed you there. The altering of the evidence and the MAGA Republicans would be like, look, he's trying to pursue a woke transgender agenda and fencing. And so he set his he set his social media accounts to private because he was getting all of these death threats. Then after doxing and defaming him with altered evidence, the MAGA Republicans then attack him for making his social media private as a result of death threats. Watch this.
Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi 2:46
Right here for transparency. Let's go. Did you recently change your social media profile from public to private?
Head of USA Fencing 2:55
I did, sir.
Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi 2:56
Okay. Was that before or after you got wind that you might end up being here today?
Head of USA Fencing 3:01
That was around the time that I was receiving death threats and anti-Semitic messages.
Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi 3:04
Also happened to be right after you found out that you might be here. Correct? Correct.
Head of USA Fencing 3:09
I can't recall, sir, specifically when I went private.
Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi 3:11
Yes, that is April 14th. And he did it after. So I'm going to give you another F, two counts for transparency.

Now, this is part of a broader pattern that we've been covering here at the Midas Touch Network about MAGA's manipulating evidence. You'll recall when the MAGA's were so focused on trying to impeach Joe Biden and they were doing Joe Biden crime family and all of that crap. They don't care at all that Donald Trump's actually doing all of the things they lied about with former President Biden. They would do things like this right here. They would take like portions of text messages between like Jim Biden, Joe's brother, and Hunter Biden. And they would show like a portion, but not the full context. Like here was a text message that they showed from Jim Biden, which says this can work. You need a safe harbor. I can work with you, father alone.

We, as usual, just need several months of his help for this to work. Let's talk about it. It makes perfect sense to me. This is difficult to fully vet without talking. Will you please call me? We can develop a plan together. It can work. I'm going to try to call you again. Please answer. I can and I will. Crisis with Caroline. Same problem with P in New York Post. Dealing with it as we speak.
