As Usual, Republicans Hypocrisy and Selective Outrage Knows No Bounds

Right Wing Fascist Republicans only care about documents being mishandled when Democrats do the mishandling. 

Last November, Kentucky Rep. James Comer, now head of the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, appeared to care less about Trump’s stash of classified documents in an interview on CNN. He said an investigation into Trump's case “will not be a priority.”

Yesterday, Jake Tapper pointed out to him that Biden’s lawyers alerted officials when the documents were found and turned them over. Trump, on the other hand, stalled, did not fully comply with a subpoena seeking classified documents, and his “lawyers falsely told investigators they turned everything in".

And there are about 20 classified documents in the case of Biden. For Trump, there are more than 300 classified documents at Mar-a-Lago, a big difference here just on the facts. Right Wing Fascist Republicans are again using selective outrage, when President Biden’s documents seem like a big priority for them, while Trump’s are not?

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) said later on State of the Union that “it’s a bit disturbing to me that people who are saying there was no problem with what Donald Trump did, which was to defiantly reject any cooperation in turning over hundreds of classified documents, are now upset about President Biden’s voluntary and rapid turnover of a handful of documents they found,” Raskin said.
