As House Dems’ kicked off their public impeachment hearings, Republicans and Trump’s allies at Fox News downplayed the bribery evidence calling it ‘uncompelling’ and an ‘endless parade of washed up bureaucrats.’ Make It Plain’s Mark Thompson argues Republicans don’t have ‘anywhere to go,’ adding ‘if you have if facts, you argue facts,’ but if there is no evidence, ‘you just pound on the table’. Aired on 11/14/19.

'Pound The Table': Trump Allies Struggle To Defend Bribery Allegations | MSNBC
Hahahaha…The whole republican party is treasonous!
bring back the guillotine…. the revolution is coming
Reptilian Agenda is controlling these activities for the NWO at the Behest of Republicans.
For 11 years…AND COUNTING
Shep Smith would’ve had a field day if he was still with Fox.
@kirk white he is still being paid and under contract obligations, that’s the only reason he is not working for another network at this time.
Absolutely right. You should pass this link on. It’s the truth about FOX (Faux – we can’t call it news). Here’s the link: Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch’s War on Journalism – FULL DOCUMENTARY FILM exposes FOX News : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P74oHhU5MDk
Miss his honest journalism
At least Chris Wallace is there so they can pretend to be a real news organization
@kirk white Shep can’t go on other networks for awhile due to contract crap.
The more these republicans talk the dumber they look. Pathetic really.
@Dakota Kramer That sounds like the “reverse racisn is worse” argument, which is dumb as can be.
@Sosume 1 LOL. Yeah right…
V that’s well put!
I have to disagree. They have looked dumb and pathetic for a long time.
30 plus years of FAUX news indoctrination is the reason this country is in the mess it is.
@THGraham Just to be clear, I didn’t vote for Trump. I voted third party, and managed to sway my county for 30 minutes with my vote. What I can say about Trump is that his presidency has gone very well for me. Better than Obama, anyway. Obama’s presidency gave me a 50% income tax. I had no money, and I was working minimum wage. There was nothing I could do. Trump got me a tax break and wages are now going up in my local area. I also am not being forced to buy healthcare I cannot afford anymore. The healthcare didn’t pay for anything I needed in the first place, so now I have the option of paying out of pocket.
I am happier now with Trump because he isn’t meddling in my life like how Obama was. Trump is removing restrictions on me, and I like that. I don’t like Trump, but the democrats have only ever hurt me. I won’t vote for people who hurt me. Trump Won because he appealed to the Working class. the working class live in rural and outer city areas. Check the county map for 2016. The voter turnout for the rural areas was an all time high, while inner city affluents an all time low.
@noob noob So go talk to to the farmers in those areas and find out how they feel about him now. Farmers of 4,5 and 6 generations on the farm to lose it all because this man decided it’s a good idea to have a trade war with China. Then he lies to the American people and says the only one that will/is getting hurt by it is China. I think our farmers will beg to differ. Also experts will say the ones that got the tax breaks were the wealth, both my wife and I both work and yes we did see a LITTLE more on our check but at the end of the year we we ended up getting less. Even tho we got more on our check, the lose at the end of the year was more. On this issue, I can only speak on our experience but I have seen many with the same experience.
I The blame is on Fox…they are dangerous to America.
Do you actually believe the idiocracy spewing forth from your mouth??? Liberalism is a disease….It rots the minds of the indoctrinated and lays waste to our country….
noob noob Uh no, campuses were not forcing white people off campus. There were just regulations to make sure people of different race and religion got into colleges. While I still don’t agree with that forcing a college to take a certain percentage of minorities, etc. It wasn’t intended to push white people out. And considering that trump lost the popular vote by a pretty wide margin, no he won’t be replaced with another republican. Especially when 70% of our domestic terrorism is right wing Fox News loving nut cases in comparison to the 3% the left has been a cause of.
Why can’t the republicans see how dangerous trump is to or country
Regi254 WaCo are your loved ones racist? I mean do they have internal issue with POC
Because they embrace his message of bigotry, division, unfettered capitalism, I got mine screw everyone else, he who dies with the most toys wins, hatred of the “others” and the disadvantaged, lying and cheating to win, closed minded elitism,…they are greedy, selfish bigots who hate intellectuals because they can’t sell their bs to the masses with them in their way. They love empire building and subjecting other countries to US corporate interests and use their feigned patriotism and sham Christian doctrine to discredit or persecute anyone who sees what they stand for is wrong. They are no better than Trump.
campbellscollision meanwhile 3,000 Americans died from Trump illegally withholding emergency aid. The Great Depression happened because of unchecked capitalism. Pure capitalism doesn’t work, anyone who’s taken an economics or history class can you tell that. If you really don’t get that, you really should stay out of politics. Case in point, our country currently going into mass debt, and our economy imploding and getting ready to burst.
They don’t watch leftist news that spends 96% of airtime (Harvard study) slamming trump. Half of it made up.
Impeachment is not limited to criminal actions. Any pattern of conduct that violates the oath of office can lead to removal from office.
@Thomas Thompson just like the Muller report! IG reports coming …. PS – Trump is a billionaire…. Billionaires don’t bribe … No need to.. When billionaires want something … They just buy it……
@Len Ovo ugh you’re all the same…I can’t even help you lost conservative souls anymore lol
@Juwoki thanks…I just am so tired of feeling like I have to explain this to everybody. It’s not that difficult to see the distinction but for conservatives it’s the blind leading the blind and they don’t even trust their ears or the person saying stop going there you’re just running into a wall over and over lol
Bob Jones, nope 👎🏻 it hasn’t
Lisa That’s right.
Stamp their feet, shake their fists & throwing tantrums is all the Repugnant RepubliKKKans have. There’s no strategy, policy, nothing there.
That’s because they make everything up to suit them everyone is wrong except For them the way they behave is appalling and make other wonders about their morals.
Great comment and love their new name – Repugnant Republikkkans………Gold!
Bahahahahaha! You need to watch the videos of crying liberals. You won’t find a video of Americans acting like that.
Rebumublicans sold their integrity and soul to the
“PARTY OF TRUMP ”
THEY HAVE LEARNED THE ART
OF DISTRACTION –
OF WHATABOUTISM
OF LIEING ( with straight face ) .
In three – (3 –!! ) years I don’t think ANY REBUBLICAN
HAS DONE ANYTHING TO UPHOLD THE OATH OF THE OFFICE THEY
SWORE TO DO…
NOTHING – NOT ONE SINGLE THING
THEY HAVE
DOWNGRADED
THEMSELVES TO GRADE SCHOOL BULLIES. STORM CONGRESS CLOSED DOOR HEARINGS.
THEIR ACTIONS IN THE IMPEACHMENT HEARINGS IS EMBARRASSING !!!/
DON”T ANY OF THEM REALIZE THERE WILL BE A “TOMARRIOW
AMERICA WILL NEVER FORGET THEIR STUPIDITY
ELECTION TIME WILL COME FOR ALL OF THEM……..
The Republicans have been looking ridiculous trying to defend the indefensible about Trump but everyone knows the truth.
Lol! Russia Collusion! We have proof! Sloppy Daniels is taking Trump Down! Lol. I love watchong you useful idiots get excited over the New World Order media’s bull.
“I heard a conversation in a resturaunt that he said, somebody else said he heard another say, that they heard nothing. Lol
Dot Dot People who believe in “journalistic” talking points like witnesses apparently being boring, or the size of a water bottle, cannot be persuaded by any means I’m afraid… I agree that we just need to vote blue, no matter who the candidate turns out to be. And then we need some major education policy reforms for about 1/3 of the country, who have no idea what critical thinking is. They have been completely brainwashed by this orange mad-man and his Twitter feed, literally telling them that everything they see and hear, except for his talking points, is fake…
@campbellscollision …Joe Biden: fire him or you don’t get the billion…. perfectly fine with Dems
Trump: can you maybe look into this corruption ? …..Dems: Impeach the M F !!!
Len Ovo – Republican defenders miss the most important thing every single time. CONTEXT.
Len Ovo you’re a broken record with nothing factual to add.
Corruption at the highest level in history.
@Len Ovo How’s the weather in St. Petersburg? I hear it was very cold for this early in the season.
Cut and paste? Really. You’re drawing a paycheck at least put some effort into it.
@Sean Steele there might be a few Russians more corrupt, and those are c probably where Trump gets his ideas!
@Nena Gonzo there are more than a few countries in Africa that are extremely corrupt as well as the middle east, south America, and then countries like north Korea and Mexico.
“It’s not that we don’t have enough scoundrels to curse; it’s that we don’t have enough good men to curse them.”
G. K. Chesterton
@campbellscollision well he tricked you. He. Is doing Putin’s bidding. The old republicans could be tolerated but this trumpublican party would destroy this country and that is Putin’s plan. The entire party has to go
@campbellscollision Wouldn’t expect anything less from a Campbell.
Great quote! So timely.
@campbellscollision …so authoritarian control is fine, huh?
Why do they call it a republican “defection” for them to do the right thing? Do they not work for our nation? Ignoring crimes committed by Trump would be the defection.
Its dereliction of duty and obstruction of justice…arrest them all.
Because they know the gop doesn’t care about the country anymore. Any GOPer breaking with the party is more like a mobster flipping on his peers
SOMETIMES THERE AREN’T 2 SIDES TO A STORY, SOMETIMES THERE IS ONLY 1 SIDE BACKED UP BY THE FACTS.
@P Wood I didn’t lol 😆
@rachelknepper0811 tired actually Rachel, the Democrats said thre election couldn’t be hacked, Obama himself said Thursday. It’s crazy up there right now, you got a president tweeting and Democrats doing nothing for America nor Americans, it’s a fn soap oprah up there, imagine what we could get done if Democrats actually tried doing for Americans
@P Wood yes l could just imagine ,like the over 250 bills , really great bills, already passed by Congress just sitting on Moscow Mitch’s desk. So before you go pointing the finger learn the facts.democrats can impeach and govern at the same time .
@P Wood and your little bit about the elections not being hacked ?????? You must have completely forgotten about podesta.we were hacked , so were the Republicans but Russia wanted trump to win . president Obama knew it to so you misunderstood what ever happened Thursday on your fuxx news.
@rachelknepper0811 tired are you stupid? They would have already besides you are a scared person I understand but Russia isn’t the enemy, the Godless baby killing Democrats that burn American flags are the enemy,, OBVIOUSLY
Slamming a Vietnam vet to protect a draft dodger. What a bunch of clowns.
@Hildebeast Clinton why is that
You think that calling out about
Biden helps the cowardly trump.
I personally don’t liken biden but
It isn’t going to help me to call
His son a durgie. You hav’t
Realize that Trump is dragging
Some major baggage around.
Divorces, bankruptcies, mob
Involvement, a lot of negative
Stuff.
He had Bone spurs on his brain what crooked doctor did his pop send him to? Draft dodging Coward
I bet he ran home to pop after bullies chanced the orange sissy
Frank Zappa That isn’t all that’s little. His brain must be miniscule. Funny how Trumpers ignore Napolitano and Wallace.
This is a moment when America decides if it has any integrity at all.
@Pam Duncan lol, the economy is not good. Banks are buying each other’s debt with money from the Fed to pretend things are ok.
But how Christian are they when all they preach is hate for people that do not share their ideals or skin color? They are what younger people call posers these days.
@Hector G. I agree it’s so frustrating I knew when I found out he was the president we were going to go through some very bad things.
Sadly, I don’t think Republicans will vote for impeachment because they are spineless
That now sadly is true. To now hear the Fox/Republican Defense of Trump does put the future direction of America on the line in the sand. Going by the Impeachment Inquiry if Trump gets through this, even damaged, 2020 depends entirely on one and all Democrat voters needing to be up early on the day of truth.
The Republicans don’t realize that they are in a hole. That’s why they keep digging.
Why are they going back to Hillary Clinton when it’s about Trump’s bribery? If they wanna go there, then reopen Trump’s Russia COLLUSION and pull up evidence from his actions today.
Annie ..………… They’re clueless and grasping at straw men . Mueller was a ‘preliminary report’ that was not allowed to be adequately investigated due to trump and Republican obstruction, and Barr’s corruption in not following up and fudging the results with partially released ( redacted ) findings .
They’re in too deep to admit their mistake, so they’re doubling down
Especially with those losses in deep red States, after trump showed up to campaign, people are rejecting the right, but they’re too stupid and “tribal” to notice.
The GOP morons haven’t got a crooked wooden stolen leg to stand on, and they know it 😎
HAR!
#TRUMPKILLSAMERICANFAMILIESforPUTIN #theDEFICITforPUTIN SAID TRUMP REPUBLICANS, #DYINGMINORITYrepublicanism OF DESPERATION AND WEAKNESS GRASPED FOR #POISONERPUTIN. ?
#BLUEWAVE2
SEE YOU AT THE END, IN REAL AMERICA, RECAPTURED!
They have less legs to stand on than a quadriplegic convention
Those voters falling for Trump’s lies would have easily fallen for Hitler as well.
Hitler promised to have the rich pay their fair share and to redistribute wealth to the working class. he was a National Socialist. That is what Nazi means. National Socialist.
What was the richest demographic in Germany? The Jews.
Hear Hear
@Jim Battersbee scary
POTUS wants to be a Dictator so bad, just like the other Dictators, ex: Hitler, Putin, Kim Jung Un (sp?) Saudi Arabia’s Prince, they put their names on Buildings, they put their Families in Government positions, they want Military Parades, and they want Loyalty, sound familiar? Trumpers are brainwashed because they don’t have empathy or a mind of their own to save our Democracy and do away with the enemies of our Constitution… Nixon had courage and came forward about Watergate because he cared about our Country… this Administration just don’t care!
That is the most ignorant statement on this feed….Hitler was a Socialist….Your party is being taken over by Socialist…
If South Carolina reelects Lindsey Graham to the Senate, they’re out of their minds NUTS!
Jeanne 54 more than nuts. just despicable delusional idiots and racists.
Graham is the biggest flip flopper in Washington. May his bed be infested with a thousand fire ants.
So the man testifying for nearly 6 hours isn’t allowed a water bottle? I’m disgusted. Fox, is that all you got?
Pathetic isn’t it.
Remember Little Donnie hiding his water bottle at the base of the meeting table … and VP Pence mimicking him immediately.
How pathetic … over a … water bottle.
Those”nerds” have served their country. What have Rush or any of the talking heads at Fox done for our country?
They helped to renew fascism, with Trump as der fuher.
Besides running their mouths?………NOTHING.
