How the Sunday News Shows downplayed the upcoming Insurrection Day Impeachment Trial

[Generic Other]

Today every major network invited on a Republican senator who spread the racist Big Lie: Lindsey Graham, Roger Wicker, Bill Cassidy and Rand Paul...None of the hosts even *mentioned* that they lied to overturn the election...CBS, ABC, NBC and Fox are erasing and rewriting history.

Graham spent nine weeks saying the election was stolen and that Trump actually won. He tried to get legal votes thrown out in Georgia. He did nothing but blatantly lie On @FaceTheNation

@margbrennan asked Graham if he thinks the impeachment trial is constitutional

Roger Wicker made false and baseless allegations of voter fraud. He spread the lie to throw out nonwhite votes for Biden and help Trump steal the election. He did nothing but lie

On @ThisWeekABC @GStephanopoulos let him repeatedly say the impeachment trial is unconstitutional

Bill Cassidy refused to say Biden won the election

On @MeetThePress he said the GOP acts in "good faith" but Democrats refuse to work with them...@chucktodd : "that's been a challenge for this town for more than a decade" and "appreciate you coming on and sharing your perspective"

Rand Paul *to this day* claims the election was stolen. He is continuing to spread the very lie that led to the Jan. 6 riot

On @FoxNewsSunday, Chris Wallace let Paul claim that if Biden really wanted "unity" he would have told his own party "enough's enough" and to "move on"

All of these Republicans are bad-faith actors. They willingly participated in spreading a lie for the sole purpose of overturning the election...Any rational person would assume they are going to continue to lie about everything...And every major network today said "come on over"

The only Sunday show that didn't book an election liar was @CNNSotu...It sucks that there are only like two Republican senators who didn't spread the Big Lie, but the message that the other networks clearly send is that they don't care if you lie — you can always lie on our show
