Jonah Goldberg over at The Dispatch might look beyond the immediate and sensational Jan. 6 Hollywood show at the Pelosi House. "Here's the problem with this,” he Tweets. "I don't care what the committee members say. It's the witnesses stupid. They've mostly been Republicans as well as Trump aides, Trump voters, and Trump relatives. Blather about the "Marxist Dems" all you like. What about Barr's testimony?”

Goldberg would do well to remember that Joe McCarthy found plenty of alleged Communist sympathizers to demonize and serve as witnesses against their alleged fellow Communists in much the same way as the mainstream media and Democrats—but I repeat myself—are now using alleged conservatives to demonize their fellow conservative citizens no matter how tangentially those citizens might be associated with the riot.


To, adds:

And what of the witnesses they DIDN'T call? Does Goldberg not think they chose and managed that witness list carefully? They wouldn't let anyone on the committee except Trump haters. It's easy to find people who would be willing to testify against Trump - either disgruntled employees or ambitious people who figure this will promote the future in D.C. Like that aid who had a second cousin who had a girlfriend whose brother in law said Trump tried to grab the steering wheel...

Mr. Goldberg himself is proof of the folly of this. He led the NeverTrump attack squandron at National Review, and has done everything in his power to backstab and destroy the President. He is a Republican and ostensible conservative.

I don't know if he'd lie in the Committee, but he certainly bore Mr. Trump no good will.

How many Republicans turned on George W. Bush? I remember quite a few, and that in an era of far less acrimony and cutthroat politics.

Goldberg has thrown away any credibility he once had, if you ask me.
