George Takei on Ginni Thomas's backing out of testifying:



Text

Don't believe anyone in Trumpworld when they say they will come testify to set the record straight. They do that to sow doubt but then never follow through. Ginni Thomas is now saying she sees no reason to appear. See the pattern?

that will be unveiled "in the coming weeks". Then, delay and delay some more before pulling the rug out from under the whole thing.

Do you think that will stop her from lying? In for a penny in for a pound with this lot.

It's just another move in the silly rethug game. She believes, as the wife of a supreme court justice, that no one can make her talk and there will be no consequences. She may be right.

But she may be wrong.

Conservatives appear to be full of shit. Like that idiot former Greenpeace guy, "Glyphosate is safe, you can drink a gallon and not get sick" The interview says, "Oh, would you like some, I have a glass right here". Former Greenpeace idiot, "I'm not going to drink that, I'm not an idiot".

I beg to differ. You are an idiot for making a claim and then running from that claim. Ginni Thomas is the same kind of idiot. "I'd love to testify to clear things up" (said on a right wing podcast). Now she is running away from testimony.

Use Congress' inherent power of contempt to compel testimony.

Lock her up.

Give her the Susan McDougal treatment.

CONGRESS has power.

Use it.

If not now, when? Never?

Honestly, if I'd supported a plot overthrow the government, I'd be reluctant to testify too.

You don't even have to show what party the participants of interviews or arguments are because they all sound alike. It's as though they went to Lies:101, How to be Rude:301, How to Talk Without Taking a Breath: 202, Reasoning a Way Out of Accusations That Are Actual: 303, etc.

They all sound alike. Same tone, same speed, same lies and same reasoning...aka, conspiracies, etc.

Ginni and Clarence should be concerned. Deeply concerned.
