My, my, my, what happens when you hold a hearing and can't prove your point?"

Rep Gerry Connolly (D-VA) to Gym Jordan.

"To Mr. Raskin's point that you guys aren't bound to the First Amendment because you're a private company," Jordan said. "Okay, maybe so."

Jordan just admitted Twitter and the federal government did nothing wrong, and this entire hearing is a sham.

"My, my, my, what happens when you hold a hearing and can't prove your point?" Connolly said.

That brought some laughter to the chamber.

The hearing was successful. It's just that people don't grasp what "success" in this context means.

Getting that Hannity stroking tonight is the goal.

These lunkheads are chasing chimeras, hobgoblins they've conjured in their minds, spooks rising from a fever swamp of nonsense. There may be some accidental tangential contact with reality, but that will make their nitwit allegations look all the worse.

Blind men in a dark room searching for a black cat that isn't there.

Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-VA) suggested House Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) failed to prove Twitter executives had nefarious intent to censor the Hunter Biden laptop story.
