The Establishment’s Scandal Scam Tactics Won’t Work Anymore
Kurt Schlichter
The regime media is circling around Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump’s other outsider appointees to do the bidding of the establishment to make sure the status quo stays safely undisrupted. But this is a new game, and they are running the old playbook. With Hegseth, it’s alleging a sex scandal that’s no scandal at all. They do it by selectively quoting from a police report that led to zero charges and by ignoring the myriad facts within that would cause most fair-minded individuals to conclude this was a hookup instantly regretted by a horny wife whose husband and kids were just a few hotel rooms away. The regime media reports, of course, exclude the many exonerating details that recovering lawyer Megyn Kelly in particular has gone over in-depth and which totally exonerate the nominee. They don’t care about the truth; they want to frame him to stop him. But you know what? This kind of smear does not matter anymore to anyone who matters.
If you remember the Brett Kavanaugh confirmation hearings, you saw a bunch of wavering Republican senators who failed to dismiss the ridiculous claims against him out of hand. It’s easy to waver when you lack a spine; they almost did what Republicans usually do and defaulted to assuming the credibility of what appeared on the tube or the front page of the regime media. The wacky charges were all over the three networks, all over the New York Times and Washington Post, and all over cable, too. And the squishes were on the verge of panic and rout. Only Kavanaugh’s refusal to quit and Trump’s refusal to back down saved the nomination.
