MSNBC Anchor Gets Shredded For Whining Why House Democrats ‘Didn’t Do This for the Trump Family’
Mehdi Hasan of MSNBC got absolutely shredded like fine cheddar cheese on Thursday after he made the utterly ridiculous claim that House Democrats never investigated the Trump family when they had majority control of the chamber, despite the many, many investigations into the former president. Has this guy been a sleep for the last six or seven years? Where in the world is he getting his information? Perhaps a fact-checker ought to slap this guy with one of those fancy stickers on social media?
“After Republicans secured a majority in the House, Reps. James Comer, R.-Ky., and Jim Jordan, R-Ohio., announced in a press conference Thursday that they would be further investigating the extent of President Biden’s involvement with his son Hunter’s business dealings,” Fox News reported. “‘The Mehdi Hasan Show’ host attacked the investigation into the Biden family because, he claimed, House Democrats ‘didn’t do this for the Trump family,’ while also appearing to take a swipe at outgoing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
It seems that one of the requirements for working at propaganda makers like MSNBC is to have an IQ smaller than a toddler’s shoe size.
“Be as mad as you like about House Republicans kicking off day one after winning the House with a massive investigation into the Biden family but also ask yourself why House Democrats didn’t do this for *the Trump family*. Ask yourself this on the day Pelosi is retiring btw,” Hasan posted on Twitter.

A plethora of Twitter users came out and responded that former President Donald Trump and his family had indeed been investigated by House Democrats, along with several other government agencies. I mean, this stuff has been covered non-stop ever since Trump announced he was running for president back in 2015. It’s not like there wasn’t news coverage of these investigations. How did this guy miss all of that?
State Sen. Nathan Dahm of Oklahoma posted, “You could ‘ask yourself why’ or you could do a quick internet search to discover that House Democrats DID this for the Trump family. If only there was a group of people who’s job it was to report such facts to the people…once again fake news proving they are enemy of the people.”

Substack writer Jim Treacher showed zero mercy when he responded to Hasan by tweeting, “They did, stupid.” Short, not-so-sweet, and straight to the point.
“Democrats elected an AG in NY on investigating Trump. They investigate[ed] Trump non-stop on Congress as well,” YouTube personality Sean Fitzgerald replied.
Strategist Yossi Gestetner said, “Clown Alert,” along with posting a screencap of an ABC News article about how House Democrats had subpoenaed Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner.
“Uh, Mehdi? The Democrats most certainly investigated Trump’s family. Just like today, it was the first thing they embarked on after gaining power after the 2018 midterms. Sorry you missed it all…” Townhall.com columnist Brad Slager shared on Twitter, along with a total of four headlines proving his point.

Of course, liberals came rushing out of the dark corners like a mass of cockroaches to back their fellow lefty, with New York State Sen. Alessandra Biaggi tweeting, “Because all the Dems who would be as savage as Republicans, are told to sit down cause ya know, we’re ‘difficult.’”

“Because it’s very stupid and Pelosi has way better political instincts than that?” The Intelligencer writer Benjamin Hart stated in his response.
“Not unfair to ask. Especially since the trump family put their offspring in political positions and they had a lot of influence on things they shouldn’t have,” New York State Assemblyman Yuh-Line Niou posted in a tweet.
And unlike any of the situations that the left were investigating the Trump family for, we have actual, legitimate evidence that President Joe Biden’s son Hunter has been up to shady business. There are tons of emails, phone messages, texts, and all sorts of things on the laptop that has been proven to be authentic. We know for a fact he was selling access to his then-vice president dad and that the evidence points to Biden being involved in the whole thing, taking a cut to make himself wealthy.
“In 2018, House Oversight Committee Democrats announced a probe into his daughter Ivanka Trump and her husband, Jared Kushner, over their use of private email accounts for official White House business. They were subpoenaed the following year. The Oversight Committee also investigated the couple’s security clearances,” Fox News reported.
The investigation into Hunter Biden is not about revenge. It’s about fixing the justice system so it is no longer two-tiered. Everyone, no matter their station in life, should be equal under the law. That starts by holding those at the top accountable for their actions.
