Election Post: Hillary Bawls Over Unused Victory Speech

Via the Wombat's  In The Mailbox: 12.08.21, Louder With Crowder, Enjoy Your Schadenfreude Over Hillary Getting Choked Up Over Her 2016 Victory Speech. A good look. Stephen Kruiser at PJ Media calls it Schadenfreudelicious: Hillary Weeps Through Her Wine Haze While Reading 2016 Victory Speech for 'MasterClass'. That'll teach 'em. Mary Chastain at LI, Hillary Cries as She Shares Her Would-Be Presidential Victory Speech, "LOL."

Guy Benson at Town Hall unpacks a New Poll Packed with Extremely Bleak News for Biden and Democrats. Sundance at CTH, Recent Leftist Panic Takes Context – Democrat Pollster Finds Inflation and Checkbook Worries Twice as Concerning for Voters Than COVID BH, Biden re-election poll shows dismal 22% support; Harris even worse at 12%. Insty, WELL: 🚨🚨 New poll from @WSJ shows a seismic shift among Hispanic voters:☑️ Biden’s ap…. Capt. Ed at Haut Hair, WSJ poll: Hispanic shift to GOP sure looks real; YouGov too?. New Neo, Hispanics continue to turn right. The only possible solution is to import a new crop. Paul Mirengoff at Power Line, Good news on the Latino vote, poll shows it’s evenly split. Ace, WSJ: Hispanics Now Evenly Divided Between Parties, "I'm skeptical of an even split, but I guess I do have to trust there's been some kind of large shift." 

From the Wombat's  In The Mailbox: 12.08.21, Don Surber says Trump showed Republicans how to win Hispanic votes and Da Tech Guy: Paying In Cash Vs.

Even the Bulwark Girlz; Sonny Bunch, Against “Latinx”, "A politically dubious neologism, sure, but one that makes up for it by also being monstrously ugly." Maybe this all adds up to explain why a Q-Poll has Gov. Greg Abbott leads (Robert Francis) Beto O'Rourke by 15 points. 

At Da Wire, Harris Meets With Female Activist Who Ranted ‘F*** The White’ Women. Well, that's one way to woo them. Brandon Morse at Town Hall thinks It's Over for Kamala.

Anxious reports Young Dems more likely to despise the other party, and we're supposed to think Republicans are the party of intolerance. John Sexton at Haut Hair notes Young Democrats are intolerant scolds and some progressives think that's great news.

Regarding Georgia, AllahPundit whines What a mess: Brian Kemp 34, David Perdue 34, Vernon Jones 10 in Georgia GOP primary poll. And Anxious whines Trump-backed Perdue says he wouldn’t have certified Georgia 2020 results. It's easy to say now. And from the Wombat's  In The Mailbox: 12.08.21,  Da Tech Guy thinks Stacy Abrams Channels Monty Python. The National Journal calls Georgia the last stand for Trump critics, "Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp’s re-nomination would hand Trump an embarrassing and politically damaging defeat. But if Kemp loses, Trump will be on cruise control for 2024."

At NYT, the kept conservative Ross Douhat wonders Can the Press Prevent a Trump Restoration?. Yes, he really thinks that's his job.

At Am Great, Devin Nunes Isn’t Done Saving Our Republic, as he heads off to found Trumps internet empire. 

At Da Caller, Rep. Slotkin Silent After Superintendent Contradicts Claim That No School In Michigan Teaches CRT. At least she has the good grace to shut up after being shown a liar; most libs just double down. 

Is he a Manchurian candidate? Kurt Schlicter at Town Hall presents a pretty compelling case in Why Is Dr. Oz Running as a Republican?. 

Politico whines that Meadows sues Pelosi, Jan. 6 panel and its members, "Donald Trump's former chief of staff has claimed he can’t discuss matters that could be covered by executive privilege." At JTN, Meadows will sue Pelosi and Jan 6. committee.

Court records from the U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., show Meadows will file a civil complaint against the legislators, Politico first reported on Wednesday.

In addition to Pelosi, the civil lawsuit specifically lists the individual members of the Jan. 6 panel: Reps. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), Susan Lofgren (D-Calif.), Elaine Luria (D-Va.), Peter Aguilar (D- Calif.), Stephanie Murphy (D-Fla.) and Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.).

Breitbart tells you the part most news won't about the legislative lynching,  Mark Meadows Sues Nancy Pelosi and Every Member of January 6 Committee: ‘Unconstitutional’

The lawsuit argues further that the committee is illegitimate by its own terms: the House resolution establishing the committee provides that “The Speaker shall appoint 13 Members to the Select Committee, 5 of whom shall be appointed after consultation with the minority leader” (emphasis added). Moreover, the resolution says that subpoenas “shall” only be issued in consultation with the committee’s ranking minority member, and there is no ranking minority member.

Meadows’s filing states: “Authorized congressional committees have subpoena authority implied by Article I of the Constitution. … The Select Committee, however, is not an authorized congressional committee because it fails to comport with its own authorizing resolution, House Resolution 503.”

Fox reports Pence does not commit to cooperating with Jan. 6th congressional committee, "Pence trip to New Hampshire sparks more 2024 speculation". Dan Chaitin at WaEx, Trump calls Pence 'good man' who made 'big mistake'. He is a good man, but he would not be my choice for Preznit. 

The redoubtable Julie Kelly continues her assault on the Jan. 6 narrative at Am Great, January 6 Police Beating Victim Speaks: ‘I Could Have Died,’ "The first of a two-part interview with Victoria White, a Trump supporter who was beaten by police inside the tunnel on the lower west terrace of the Capitol building on January 6."

White, 39, found herself in the tunnel near Boyland—and her harrowing account describes nothing short of criminal misconduct by still-unidentified members of the D.C. Metropolitan Police department. Further, her experience bolsters allegations that police contributed or directly caused the death of a second unarmed female Trump supporter on January 6.
. . .
“We were trapped. Police were pushing us out using riot shields and people outside were pushing in. I kept falling. A cop sprayed mace directly into my face.”

Then, she said, she felt the first blow. It came out of nowhere, White told me. With her back to the line of officers, White tried to stand up but repeated blows to her head by an officer in a white shirt, presumably a D.C. Metro police supervisor, prevented her from regaining her footing.

“Because of my history, I started having flashbacks,” White told me slowly, choking up as she recalled what happened. “I felt like I had felt all those years, the times when I would get hit.” She remained crouched down as blow after blow, first by a stick then someone’s fist, landed on the top of her head and face. At one point, she confronted the abusive officer, reminding him “he took an oath to the Constitution.” Her remarks enraged the officer; he called her a “bitch” and continued the pummeling.
. . .
It wasn’t until she finally viewed video evidence in June produced by the Justice Department under discovery in her criminal case that White realized the extent of the violent, almost sadistic, assault against her.

“I was absolutely horrified to see myself get hit and start to fall. There were multiple officers hitting people. One officer in a white shirt focused solely on me. He kept bashing and hitting me over and over.”

White described how the officer changed his grip on the metal rod—a device intended to break glass in emergencies, not to be used against human beings—to exact more force. “He begins to bash and poke me. Then another officer takes my hair and shakes my head back and forth.”

As if that weren’t enough, the supervisor wearing the white shirt starts hitting her directly in the face. “He takes his left hand, balls it up, and punches me in the face. I finally put my hand on my head and tried to grab his stick to get him to stop.”

Watching the full video, White said, triggered almost a PTSD response. “I really started to struggle, I don’t know if I can ever describe it, I was so overwhelmed.”

White’s account is vaguely referenced in the Justice Department’s own charging documents. Investigators claimed officers tried to “fend her off with a baton . . . and it appears that she is attempting to grab a shield and uses her hand to block the baton.”

A motion filed last month by Joseph McBride, her new attorney, in the case of Ryan Nichols (another January 6 client of McBride’s), provided more explicit details related to the attack on White. McBride viewed three hours of surveillance footage recorded by security cameras inside the tunnel on January 6; that video remains under a protective order for now.

According to McBride, the supervisor hit White at least 13 times with the metal stick and at least five times in her face with his fist. He then “spears and pokes [White] with his baton about the head, neck, and face so as to inflict maximum pain,” McBride wrote. This happened as White tried to escape the tunnel numerous times. Another officer joined in and “starts beating [White] in the head with his baton, landing twelve strikes in seven seconds.”

Don't expect the Jan. 5 Kommittee to care.
