🚨Dems Finally TURN TABLES on GOP at THEIR OWN HEARING!!!
Democrats are finally rolling up their. sleeves and turning the tables on MAGA. Republicans at critical congressional. hearings. So, the MAGA Republicans are. holding a hearing to try to attack the. Southern Poverty Law Center. And the. MAGA Republicans led by Jim Jordan in. the Judiciary Committee lined up their. witnesses to try to attack the Southern. Poverty Law Center and say there was. some grand Democrat Southern Poverty Law. Center conspiracy to promote extremism.
when in fact the Southern Poverty Law. Center was out there exposing extremists. who by the way Donald Trump is pardoning. and wants to give billions of dollars to. for a corrupt slush fund where Donald. Trump's main purpose is also to waive. his own tax liability for the past 20 to. 30 years. But Democrats were not letting. MAGAs get away with it. And you had the. ranking member of the House Judiciary. Committee Jamie Raskin really putting. the dagger right into Jim Jordan. Same.
thing with Jasmine Crockett really. shoving it back in Jim Jordan's face. And even the Democratic witnesses or the. witnesses who were called by the MAGA. Republicans who they were trying to call. out ended up making very powerful. presentations and basically hit it right. back in the Republicans face and showed. them, you know, that this hearing idea. was just an absolute disaster for. Republicans. Let me show you what went. down. So, the MAGA Republican witness.
over here. Miss King, she was testifying. And let. me show you what happened when Jamie. Raskin was cross-examining this MAGA. Republican witness Alveda King. Watch when she's like, "You want me to. try to get you some evidence?" Yeah, that's what you're here for, not to lie. But she was just lying profusely. Here, play this clip. >> So, do you pay the The people to do the. bomb and then go and comfort the people. from being bombed. You pay the same. people to do both jobs? That's kind of.
fraud to me. That's weird and chaotic. and confusing. >> Well, Dr. King, I don't think there's. any allegation that anybody who was. working with the Southern Poverty Law. Center bombed anyone. Do you have. information that effect? Do you. >> I don't personally, but outside. agitators did bomb our house in '63, and. then ran back and took off the Ku Klux. Klan sheets, and put on police things. and ran up in the yard. >> Well, that's a statement people. It was. crazy. I'm with you, and that's a. statement about the racism of that. police force working with the Ku Klux. Klan. >> Hey, y'all pay both of them to do the.
double jobs. SPLC does. Really, you you. hire them to do the bombing, then you. hire them to do the bombing. >> under oath, and you haven't brought the. evidence with you. So, I. >> I'll get some for you. >> Okay, please. Bring us the evidence, and. I'll yield back to you, Mr. Chairman. >> I'll get some for you. >> Mr. Fair, did the. >> Then when she was cross-examined, again, this is Jim Jordan's witness right here. She starts talking about, well, I'll. just let the clip. do. whatever just happens. Just watch watch.
Jamie Raskin cross-examine her here. Play this clip. >> SPLC is using. >> Okay, but my question is about the one. proposed by Todd Blanche. Do we It's a. yes or no. >> I will not answer I think they stopped. killing the babies and cutting the. penises off. And so, any. >> Okay, I have limited time. We can. >> money in that is a problem. >> Mr. Banger. >> Now, state regime media, Fox, was caught. flat-footed when they were showing Jamie. Raskin's opening statement, where he.
used this hearing to highlight all of. Donald Trump and Trump's regime. egregious corruption and extremism. This. was live on Fox because Jim Jordan. wanted this thing cuz Jim Jordan was. like, "We're going to expose the. Democrats and the Southern Poverty Law. Center." But, Jamie Raskin, who is the. ranking member for the Democrats, is. like, "No, I'm going to use this to. expose you MAGA criminals. You MAGA. pedo protectors. I'm going to I'm going. to expose you all." Watch Jamie Raskin.
here. Let's play it. >> And now, Todd Blanche wants to create a. $1.776 billion taxpayer-funded. slush fund to turn the January 6th foot. soldiers into MAGA millionaires. And. while Blanche was at it, he signed an. outrageous super pardon to give not just. Donald Trump, but his entire family and. all their businesses complete and total. immunity from any investigation, audit, lawsuit, or prosecution by any federal. agency for any criminal or civil.
violation against the United States up. until this point. And while. systematically firing prosecutors and. FBI agents who worked on the January 6th. investigation, the largest criminal. probe in American history, Trump and. Blanche are putting January 6th rioters, violent extremists, and their closest. allies in key positions throughout the. DOJ. Like Jared Wise, who urged rioters. to kill police officers on January 6th.
Like Ed Martin, who defended violent cop. beaters both as a defense attorney and a. federal prosecutor. He's been given free. rein now as DOJ's pardon attorney. despite his long history of consorting. with neo-Nazis. Donald Trump nominated. Paul Ingrassia, 3 years out of law. school, to run the ethics watchdog. Office of the Special Counsel, and stood. by him after it was revealed that he. admitted to having, quote, "a bit of a. Nazi streak streak". in him. And he wrote [clears throat].
that the Martin Luther Martin Luther. King holiday should be tossed into the. seventh circle of hell. The Department of Defense hired Elias. Irizarry, an unqualified, inexperienced. 24-year-old Trump loyalist and convicted. J6 rioter who was pardoned by the. president to work on irregular warfare. and counterterrorism. and so on. We understand. that the extremist swamp that gave rise. to this criminal indictment against the.
SPLC is just one more Orwellian attack. on the civil rights movement and one. more Kafkaesque prosecution designed to. shame and ensnare the righteous and. acquit and absolve the guilty. It is a. tissue of lies that will join the. pantheon of debunked fraudulent. prosecutions that DOJ has been. excoriated for by dozens of judges. across the land appointed by all. different presidents. A few weeks ago a. federal judge in Rhode Island, Judge.
McElroy, called the government. submissions in a case misleading if not. utterly false. Another judge said that. DOJ attorneys had submitted a patently. false allegation to the court. Another. judge rejected administration officials'. testimony as disingenuous, squalid, and. dishonorable. And another court found. administration had provided a highly. misleading, if not intentionally false, sworn. declaration so disingenuous that the. court is left with little confidence. that the United States can be trusted to.
tell the truth about anything. I predict. it will not be long before another. federal judge casts this obscene. prosecution to the winds. I'm only sorry. the great name of the House Judiciary. Committee has now been made an. accomplice to this fraud against the. court and the country. I yield back to. you, Mr. Chairman. >> Gentleman yields [clears throat] back. >> Then we heard from Democratic. Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett, who's. just doing such a incredible job in. Congress. And glad to have her in.
Congress, you know, just doing the hard. work here. Let's play this clip. >> You know what? I I hate that we have. spent this much time, you know, on SPLC. and we've not addressed the elephant in. the room. The literal elephant in the. room. The vast majority of the people on. that side of the aisle, and for those of. you that are at home, let me tell you, when I say that side of the aisle, I'm. talking about the Republicans, the ones. that brought this hearing, and again, you've heard that this is not the first.
hearing, but the vast majority of them. are are are white men. White men. are lecturing people of color because. the vast majority, actually, any. semblance of diversity comes from this. side of the aisle. You want to tell people of color. who is fighting for who? People of color do not feel comfortable. or welcomed within your party. That's. why you have to parade someone who has. the name Dr. King attached to them so. that people can be confused because I. have been reading the comments online,
and people are like, who is this Dr. King? Because you want them to believe. that somehow she espouses. who Dr. King was, yet you've yet to have. MLK the third come in here. You've yet. to have Dr. Bernice King, the ones that. were actually raised by Dr. King, the. ones that actually probably understand. the teachings of Dr. King, and I. >> Then you had Jim Jordan try to. cross-examine the witness who he was. trying to embarrass. So, he called the.
interim director of the Southern Poverty. Law Center, uh this guy by the name of Fair. And Jim. Jordan was like, so you wish you never. did this Southern Poverty Law Center. program where you worked with. informants, uh and in order to uncover these. extremist groups. That's why you. canceled the program. And then the. Southern Poverty Law Center interim head. is like, no, we we don't do it anymore. because at this point. the extremists are so embedded in the.
Trump government and the Trump regime. that running an informant program is. kind of useless when the Trump regime. is the extremist. >> [laughter]. >> We we don't need the informant to expose. it when literally the guy in the Oval. Office who's out there turning the White. House lawn into a freaking junkyard for. a UFC fight, the guy who's destroying. this country uh and pardoning January. 6th insurrectionists and literally.
having them work at high-level positions. in the national security apparatus. Yeah, we we know who it is. It's you. It's you. It's the MAGAs. It's Jim. Jordan. Watch as he brilliantly flips. the script. Let's play this clip. >> I just I'm not I'm just asking in. general. I'm not saying with it It's one. thing you've said you've had informants. you had field sources. If you have. informants and field sources there, that's one thing. But the indictment. says that these informants and field. sources were encouraging other people to. attend these hate rallies. And I'm. saying, "Okay, so you don't have to.
answer that specifically, but is that a. good thing in general?". >> Again, all the allegations in the. indictment. >> Do you wish, Chairman Jordan? >> Okay. >> will be addressed. >> Do you wish you hadn't have done the. program? You said the program was successful, helpful, but now you're stopping it. >> We We. stopped the program because we believe. hate and extremism has migrated. significantly online and into government.
agencies. >> Wow. Wow, that's that's that's that's. big. That's makes no sense. The chair now recognizes. >> Mr. Chairman, I I've got a UC request if. that's all right. >> Gentleman can state his UC request. >> Okay. First, I'm asking unanimous. consent to introduce this article. um. about whether in fact people have been. driven from public square. 2025 was a. banner year for Alliance Defending. Freedom. >> Now, it wasn't just that hearing in the.
day as well. Despite the MAGA Republicans trying to. do everything they can to cover up. Donald Trump's dark past and to engage. in this protection of the pedo ring, the. Epstein files that Donald Trump and the. Epstein class in the MAGA's want to do, there was still a interview. The. Democrats are chopping wood on this. investigation. They're not going to let. James Comer and MAGA get away with. everything. And so, even though James.
Comer's now like not doing hearings. under oath anymore and he's just doing. these interviews, Democrats were able to. get the interview of. an individual by the name of Groff. And. Groff was the assistant to Epstein. And. so, she appears in the files, Leslie. Groff appears in the Epstein files about. 167,000. times. Jeffrey Epstein said that Leslie. Groff was like his right hand. She's a.
co-conspirator. And so, the Democrats were interviewing. her and she admitted that she would set. up these interviews between her, Epstein, and Donald Trump, which I think. is a pretty important admission. >> What are you trying to uncover with Bill. Gates testimony about Epstein? >> Well, look, today we had uh Ms. Groff, who's actually still testifying right. now to the committee. Um she's giving. us, in fact, I think a lot of names of. staff, employees, of folks that worked.
in the Epstein orbit. She worked for. Epstein for 18 years. So, she's being. asked, I think, some very tough. questions, rightly so, about what she. knew, who she scheduled appointments. with. She scheduled massages, we know. that. And so, that's being asked of her. right now. Um we're going to go back to. this as once it's over. But then of Mr. Gates, we've said we don't care if you. are a Republican or a Democrat or who. you are. The fact that that Mr. Gates still had a. relationship with Mr. Epstein even after. knowing about the conviction, knowing. what actually what he had done, I think. it's very concerning. So, we want to.
know. what did Mr. Gaetz know, who else was. around that orbit, and why Mr. Gaetz. continued to have a relationship with. Mr. Epstein. I think those are important. points. >> That was Democratic Congressman Garcia. right there. Now, I'll show you, you know, James. Comer was here as well. Here's what. James Comer had to say. Let's play it. >> I've put in a formal request to have. with you to have Todd Blanche. subpoenaed. Are you going to act on that. subpoena? Will Todd Blanche become. >> You know, Todd Blanche came to speak to. us for a briefing. And the Democrats got up and and tiptoed.
out and ran to the press, clutching. their pearls, in outrage. What a wasted. opportunity. We had Todd Blanche and Pam. Bondi in there. And they didn't ask Todd. Blanche a single question. But the Republicans stayed, we did our. job, and we asked Blanche questions for. 2 hours, Blanche and Bondi. So, uh. you know, it's never enough for for for. Garcia. I I I have a question I think you all. should ask Garcia and.
Watkins Shaw and all their their members. that come out and and. complain and and they're outraged. They. complained about Blanche. They said he. should all this stuff. They Same thing. with Bondi. The the. You all have the transcripts. What What was What was their problem? They say stuff to try to create a false. narrative. They have an opportunity to. ask questions to people, and they refuse. because they just. they just pull stunts to try to get on. on TV.
We are doing a substantive. investigation. I would argue. the most thorough investigation ever of. Epstein because the more evidence that. >> Look, if you're in this community, you're paying attention. You know what's. happening, and a lot of what's. happening, it's directly affecting your. Medicare. Plans are being discontinued, premiums are going up, and the broker. you might have talked to probably. pushing Medicare Advantage plans even if. they aren't right for you. That's why I.
want you to know about chapter. They're. the only advisors who compare every. Medicare plan in the country. Thousands. of people from this community have. already used them. One viewer, Kevin in. Florida, is saving $2,100. a year. Another, Steven, finally has a. plan that covers his dialysis. And for. the Midas Mighty, a call with chapter is. free and takes just 20 minutes. So, if. you're on the right plan, they'll tell. you. And if not, they'll help you find a.
plan that fits your needs. I want you to. know that we've gotten such incredible. feedback from the Midas Mighty about. chapter. Frankly, it is overwhelming the. positivity that is out there for. chapter, and so I'm so glad to be. affiliated with it. I'm so glad you're. all having great experiences. So, call. 82 Medicare today to speak with chapter. That is 82 Medicare and feel confident. in your Medicare coverage. So, here's what Congresswoman Omarosa.
had to say about the interview with. Leslie Groff, who is Jeffrey Epstein's. assistant. Let's play this clip. >> You know, she she did as she was told. She really, you know, is saying. essentially that she was naive, didn't. know better, did not think anything of. it. You know, she was calling and. booking predominantly in New York is. what she says, that she didn't manage. most of. what happened in Palm Beach or in New. Mexico. He also had, you know, five or. six traveling assistants, so that's.
people like Sarah Kellen, who of course. came before us, and and she herself was. a victim and says she was a victim. But. Leslie does not have that same story. She says she was never abused or. assaulted by Epstein, that there was. nothing romantic or or sexual in nature. there at all. And yeah, she she. scheduled all of his calls with. important, high-profile people. She was. just as I left the room being asked. about setting up calls with Donald Trump. before their alleged fallout, and she.
said that she did that about once a. quarter before that time period. >> And did she know anything about the. tenor of their conversations? Did she. reveal any of that? >> She would reveal nothing about that, said she didn't know. I mean, the number. of times that the interview will come. out as it does in in form of a. transcript, >> Yeah. >> you will see the words I don't recall, I. don't know, no, I I wasn't aware many, many, many, many, many times.
>> Understood. Uh Congressman, you. mentioned that 2008 agreement that. Epstein reached with federal. prosecutors, obviously controversial in. its own right, but it includes a clause. that it would not bring any charges. against any potential co-conspirators, including Leslie Groth. Did she answer. questions about that? Why was her name. included in this non-prosecution. agreement? >> My recollection is that she said she did. not know. Uh she, you know, was not.
aware. And and Sarah Kellen said a very. similar thing, that she found out about. it after the fact. I think there needs. to be an independent investigation into. this non-prosecution agreement from. 2008. I think Alex Acosta, when he came. before the committee, made it very. clear, at least in my view, it was very. clear that he was lying. >> Then the Midas Touch Network was able to. catch up with MAGA Republican. Congressman Rob Wittman, who faked a. phone call for roughly 90 seconds after. being asked about MAGA Mike Johnson's.
comments about cutting Social Security. You can see the phone screen remain. visible with his cheek inadvertently. tapping different parts of his display. Midas Touch on Capitol Hill for you. Watch as we caught up with MAGA. Republican Congressman Rob Wittman who. literally ran away from us. Here, play. this clip. >> Congressman, what is Mike Johnson's. secret plan to cut Social Security? >> Hey, how you doing? I'm I'm good. I'm good with that. Yeah, I'll I'll be. there in just just a few minutes.
I'm I'm head head your way right now. Yeah, it's it's over at 4:16. >> Congressman, what is Mike Johnson's. secret plan to cut Social Security? >> I appreciate that. I I've got I've got. some more efforts that I'm wanting to. talk to you about. There are actually more things that we. have to be working on. Yeah, I want to make sure that we're. we're. >> No response, sir? >> Yeah, listen. Thanks. I I appreciate. your help on this. I really really do. need. really do need some more some more of. your input. Yeah, if you can if you can actually.
reach out, I'll make sure that we do do. more of this. Yeah, listen. I really really appreciate. it. Thank you. Mhm. Yes. Yes, I I believe you. I understand. There's more more of those things that. that we need to work on. Yes. Well, thank thanks thanks again. Listen, I I appreciate it. Thank you. >> Congressman, what is Mike Johnson's. secret plan to cut Social Security?
>> And just so you know what he was. responding to what we were asking him, We were asking questions that Maga Mike. Johnson. was saying that he wants to cut Social. Security. Here's Maga Mike saying that. he wants to cut Social Security. Let's. play it. >> We're going to lead up to what we have. to do and address. the the largest spending item. The thing. the reason we're in trouble is because. over 74% of federal spending is on. autopilot, mandatory spending. That's. your entitlement programs like like.
Medicare, Medicaid, and then things like. Social Security. They have to be. adjusted and fixed. We have a plan to do. that. next year and it's critical. >> And Maga Mike was also running away from. members of the press. Maga Mike said the. following about Donald Trump's strikes. on Iran, which have now further created. calamity here in the United States. Let's play it. >> Among leadership here What about on. Iran? What about on Iran? He says. they're going to respond on Iran. Do you. have a sense of whether there'll be a. new bombing campaign? And why shouldn't. Congress weigh in if there is another.
bombing campaign? >> I I don't I don't know what the. reaction's going to be, but obviously. Iran cannot be firing on US troops. That's a serious problem. >> We'll see what happens. >> Did you discuss this with him after you. getting shot down? >> Uh no, we did we did not know about that. when I was in the situation room today. >> I did. >> Good evening. >> And then Maga Republican Senator Thune. was asked about it as well. Here's what. he had to say. >> Things from the sidelines here? >> Well, I think that senators tend to be.
um. kept in the loop on what the. administration is doing for the most. part. I think sometimes the the you. know, you have to make decisions in real. time uh that have national security. implications. And so, I don't expect. we're going to hear every single uh move. that's made uh by the administration, but I do think what we want to see is. them succeed. And I think right now is a. critical juncture in terms of the. president's negotiations with the. Iranians. And so, I'm I hope at least. that our members are inclined to. continue to support the administration's. efforts to strike a deal there that is.
uh good not only for our country, but. for our allies in the region, and. frankly, for that matter, for the whole. world. A nuclear Iran is not. >> Meanwhile, Democratic Congressman Raja. Krishnamoorthi was asked about Leslie. Groff on MSNBC. Here's what he had to. say. >> Well, in the meantime, let's talk about. what's happening tomorrow. You have. Leslie Groff coming in. I'm going to. read this from The Guardian. The title. of the piece, very telling, "Seriously, the best boss ever. Inside the world of. Jeffrey Epstein's assistant.". >> Groff worked for Epstein for 18 years,
from 2001 until his arrest in July 2019. Compared to the royals, politicians, billionaires, and professors who have. featured in the Epstein files, Groff is. low status, a non-celebrity with no. public reputation to lose. But when you. search for her name in the files, you. receive more than 160,000. results, more than anyone else. Why is. she of interest? What can she tell you? What do you want to know from her? >> Well, Jeffrey Epstein himself said that. she was an extension of his brain. Uh that he was some kind of prosthesis.
to her. And she was the one that. scheduled all the massages, which was. code word for sex. She met with all the. underage minors. Um we have emails. My. staff was showing me the emails where. she's emailing these girls who are in. school talking about their school. schedules. So, for her to claim that she. didn't know that they were underage. >> I'm sorry, you have the emails, Congressman? >> Yeah, we have. >> They were in the files. Is it Is it the. unredacted version or the redacted. version? >> So, parts of it are redacted, but enough. of it is. uh clear as to what the messages are.
And And they're talking about their. orchestra schedules and stuff like that. I mean, she clearly knew they were. underage. She knew about the 2008. conviction for where he basically was. convicted of solicitation of underage. minors. And so, for her to say that she. had no knowledge of any wrongdoing or. was any was part of any wrongdoing is. just very hard to believe. >> And I want to give a hat tip to our very. own Katie Phang, who's filed a lawsuit. against the Trump regime and the Trump. DOJ.
for their cover-up. of the Epstein files and Katie Fang is. demanding the release of the Epstein. files. Here's what she had to say about. Leslie Groff and what went down on. Capitol Hill. Let's play it. >> Tomorrow, June 9th, before House. Oversight in a transcribed interview, not one under oath, not one that is. videotaped, and not one that is public. The long-time executive assistant for.
Jeffrey Epstein. will provide information to members of. Congress. Her name is Leslie Groff. It's spelled l. e s l e y g r o f f. This woman's name. appears more than 167,000. times. in the existing rollout of the Epstein. files as currently illegally and. improperly redacted by the Trump.
Department of Justice. I'm going to say that again. 167,000. times Leslie Groff's name appears. in the Epstein files. She worked for Epstein from February of. 2001 until July of 2019. I want you to think about the fact that. that is. 18-19 years of employment as Jeffrey. Epstein's. closest executive assistant. I am.
talking somebody who know the intimate. day in and day out of this man's. schedule. That had access to information about. this man's life and schedule, travel, etc. Somebody who also had access to. directories of contacts, politicians, royalty, Hollywood, polit- um. political elite, I mean, business. people, academics. I mean, you name it,
this woman had access to all this. information. And yet, and yet, she insists she had no idea what Jeffrey. Epstein was doing. She had no idea that. he was sexually abusing children. She. had no idea that he was running a. multi-decade international sex. trafficking ring. No idea. She also. interacted with Ghislaine Maxwell, let. me be clear, and she also claims, as The. Telegraph claims, she has no idea about. Ghislaine Maxwell being complicit and.
also a participant in this multi-decade. international sex trafficking ring. It. defies. logic and reality. And yet, ladies and. gentlemen, here we are. >> There you have it, folks.
