House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) attempted to explain how the GOPs impeachment pushes against DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and President Joe Biden are different than the ones Democrats initiated against Donald Trump when he was president.
Johnson appeared on NBCs Meet The Press Sunday where anchor Kristen Welker confronted him with his own words on the matters. You were, as you just said, part of President Trumps defense team at his first impeachment, Welker said. Heres what you had to say about impeachment back then.
Welker then rolled tape of Johnson repeatedly saying that the founders of this country warned against single-party impeachments. She included a clip where Johnson concluded, You know why? Because they feared it would bitterly and perhaps irreparably divide our nation.
What changed, Mr. Speaker? Welker asked.

(1,559 posts)She let him go on not answering the question without correctly asserting that this stunt is a single-party impeachment attempt.

(31,028 posts)time to put comedians as hosts on these Sunday morning shows because they wont mess around and will ask pointed questions and fact check them. Of course then nobody will come on the Sunday shows anymore since they wont be allowed to tell lies and blather on and get away with it.

(6,858 posts)I've gotten the same issues in my web browser before.
1.) Click on the link.
2.) next to the address for the link in the address field in the browser, there should be a small icon that looks like a padlock. It would be on the left side of the address field.
3.) Click on that icon. It will bring up a popup window for that site.
4.) Click on the "Site Settings" and it will open up a settings tab.
5.) Go to the permissions section. You might have to scroll down and Allow "Sound", which may be set to Mute.

(49,007 posts)Were you streaming music and paused it?
On Windows you can see what apps are making sound by the mixer control.
In my case, I always have MusicBee running and on this old system it needs to have exclusive control of my audio chip. So to hear sound on videos, I have to stop the music, quit MusicBee, run the video, restart MusicBee and get back to music.
You might have to do something similar.

That's when she said, "What changed?"

(6,189 posts).... then do one of two things: 1: ignore being ignored or 2. ask the next softball question that includes the answer to the first question with a lie.
By saying something like here is what I thought your position was based on your speech last night, last week, earlier today when you were in ______________ fill in the blank.
When interviewing a fellow right-winger, Hannity will act like a speaking teleprompter to help the interviewee spew the expected answer to the question.
She is not attempting to get a job on Fox. Or lose her current public voice.

(16,426 posts)I think I actually hate lying more when it's done with such an air of false "Lie to you? Who, me?"

That sanctimonious tool's pretense of honesty and sincerity is both nauseating and rage-inducing.
