The impeachment inquiry now under way by the House Intelligence Committee has generated vast amounts of commentary from all angles, but perhaps no one is tweeting more frenetically than Tom Fitton, head of Judicial Watch.
Fitton has been tweeting nonstop about the impeachment inquiry, calling it a coup by the deep state against President Donald Trump. Among the many, many messages tweeted by Fitton this week was a self-retweet from October instructing readers, Whenever you hear the word impeachment, I want you to substitute another word coup!
But Fitton has also talked about the inquiry dismissively, labeling it the Gossip Girl Impeachment and telling readers that hes listening in so they dont have to bother. In one moment, Fitton is telling Sean Hannity that the investigation threatens our republic, in another hes tweeting Yawn in response to testimony.
As Right Wing Watch noted last week, the GOPs talking points sounded just like Judicial Watchs. Fitton has also used his Twitter account with his more than 700,000 followers to amplify Republican talking points, asking during Thursdays hearings, Where is the whistleblower?
Fitton has claimed Rep. Adam Schiff is abusing his office, and he has demeaned impeachment witnesses as deep state bureaucrats whose testimony is silly and dishonest.
Fitton is fond of putting himself in front of the camera to film short Twitter videos hollering at viewers about the unfairness of the investigation and promoting conspiracy theories about the Obama administration, the deep state, Joe Biden, and Ukraine.

clean up after #devinnunescow.
