Devon Archer’s attorney said there isn’t enough time for his client to prepare for Wednesday’s hearing before two Republican-led House committees.
Devon Archer, a former business associate of Hunter Biden and a key witness in the GOP impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, has declined an invitation to appear at a public hearing Wednesday before a pair of Republican-led House panels.
Archer’s attorney Matthew Schwartz said Monday that there is not enough time for his client to prepare for the high-profile public hearing held by the House Oversight and Judiciary committees, according to a copy of a letter addressed to House Oversight counsel that was obtained by NBC News.
historically, this isn’t true. i know about the southern strategy and all, but i also think it’s worth pointing out who did all the lynching. fuck party loyalty.
The people doing the lynching were doing it because they were Klan menbers, not because they were Democrats, and you know this.
right, and being democrat was a part of their identity, as well. the comment to which i responded implied that democrats aren’t the party of lynching, but the facts just don’t bear that out.
The conservatives did all the lynching. The right wing people of the right wing reactionary Democratic Party of the time.
Im not talking about hystorically, but right now…
Is this some weak attempt at “both sides bad” again? Because we have a lot of that here on lemmy recently.
strom thurmond was good friends with a certain senator from delaware. the senator who touted his state as “a slave state”.
Strom Thurmond died two decades ago
yea? and his friend from delaware is in the white house.
Strom was also a Republican from 1964 until his death.
If you’re trying to “both sides” this thing, Robert Byrd is the one you’re looking for. He was in the KKK at one point and died 10 years after Thurmond.
Conservatives have always been the problem, regardless of party.
>Robert Byrd is the one you’re looking for. He was in the KKK at one point and died 10 years after Thurmond.
he’s another one. but both are well-known democrats.
Except that Strom spent his last 40 years as a Republican.
i acknowledged the southern strategy at the start of this. it doesn’t change who did the lynching.
>If you’re trying to “both sides” this thing
i’m not. there aren’t two sides. the democrats were the party of lynching. i would produce 3 democrats for every republican you can name that did it.
the democrats are bad. this is true whether republicans ever existed or continue to exist.
Cool, I bet they’re all dead and irrelevant to who would do the lynching now.
who is doing the lynching now?
Careful what you say, I’ve noticed that it has infiltrated the mod team.
Who did the lynching???
Say it with me: CONSERVATIVES
Who’s still doing the lynching??
Say it with me again for those in the back: CONSERVATIVES
The party name is irrelevant.
Nothing has changed.
democrats are conservatives, so ekybio was wrong.
Extrajudicial killings based on perceived wrongs which in no way are proportionally punishable by death? Cops.
Lol, read a book dude.
i said i know about the southern strategy.
>Lol
this is an appeal to ridicule. it is not a rebuttal.
what book do you think i haven’t read?
Mainly political history, but I’m willing to bet there are more.
who is the author of “political history”? you mean howard zinn?
Oh, so you’re being misleading deliberately then?
no. i didn’t mislead about anything, unless you don’t know what the words i’m using mean.
Yes it fucking was, and you know it. Quit lying.
your accusation of lying is, itself, false. everything i said is true.
Let me be very fucking clear about this: dishonestly pretending that what matters is the label and not the ideology – i.e., emphasizing that “democrats” did lynching while de-emphasizing that they were conservatives – is objectively incredibly fucking dishonest and misleading whether you want to keep lying about it or not. You’re a liar; you lose; end of.
democrats are still conservatives.
