https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/fox-abruptly-cuts-off-impeachment-manager-during-testimony-democrats-donald-trump-newsmax-greg-gutfeld-msnbc-b1800704.html?utm_source=taboola&utm_medium=Feed

Fox News Channel cut off an impeachment manager in mid-sentence Wednesday as he was presenting dramatic video footage of the mob attacking the U.S. Capitol last month and government leaders running for safety.

"The political math doesn't add up,” Fox's Jesse Watters said. "Democrats don't have the votes, yet they're still pressing ahead.”

 

The incident was a dramatic illustration of the tightrope walked by programmers at television networks that appeal to fans of former President Donald Trump during his second impeachment trial.

 While sometimes dry and methodical, the presentation reached an emotional climax when California Rep. Eric Swalwell showed graphic video, much of it not seen before.

 

That's when Fox cut things off, shortly after 5 p.m. Eastern, when the network started its commentary show "The Five.”

"This is all emotional, political theater,” said cohost Greg Gutfeld one of four commentators to speak against impeachment before an exasperated Juan Williams was given a chance to talk.

"I'm kind of shocked,” Williams said. "I want you guys to come back. Come back, join the conversation. Pay attention to the news.”

Williams described the case that House managers were building as chilling and an important exercise in democracy. "The impeachment trial that you're all ignoring, I guess you're afraid ...”

At that point, he was shouted down by Watters and Gutfeld.

"You're being so rude because I'm so right,” Williams said.

A Fox News spokeswoman had no comment on the programming choice.

A few minutes later, as Swalwell was showing body camera footage of a Capitol police officer being attacked by a demonstrator with an American flag, the Fox panelists were debating President Joe Biden's COVID vaccine rollout. At Newsmax a Republican congressman was being interviewed about the 2022 midterm elections.

 

queeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeffffffffff!!!!!!!!

I thought I read somewhere that you can't impeach a citizen, it has to be an elected official.

You may have, but that's not true.  Former officials have gone through impeachment proceedings before, including once when most of the founding fathers were still alive and had no objections.

Congress invoked the impeachment power for the first time in 1797, when the House impeached Senator William Blount for conspiring to let the British take control of the Spanish-controlled territories of Florida and Louisiana. The Senate held a trial even though it had already expelled Blount. Senators eventually acquitted him on the separate grounds that he wasn’t an "officer” subject to the impeachment clause.

In 1876 the Senate voted 37-29 that it had authority to try ex-Secretary of War William Belknap even though he had resigned just as the House was poised to impeach him for accepting kickbacks. The Senate eventually acquitted Belknap.

In several instances since then, including the 2009 case of former U.S. District Judge Samuel Kent, lawmakers have said that the official’s resignation didn’t affect the right of the Senate to hold a trial

 

Oof!

Jiminy Crickets!!!

I've said it before, but it's impossible to overstate just how insidious democrats and the media are. 

There are now hundreds of millions of Americans who believe Sicknick was bludgeoned to death by Trump supporters. These people are beneath contempt.

They are savages. Only salty sore losers like yourself would watch other sore losers drag a cop down steps and beat him with a flag and then try to complain about unfair treatment by the media.

"This was the only documented case of violence against an officer"?

Nah, lying about an officer being beaten to death for over a month by a major news outlet should concern, and be a source of frustration, for everyone. 

"This was the only documented case of violence against an officer"
