PBS’s Capehart Misquotes Dana Loesch: ‘Who Cares Concerning the Youngsters?’

The PBS NewsHour caught up on the Hunter Biden scoop on Friday night time, however that wasn’t the topic when it got here to reviewing the information of the week. The taxpayer-funded crew all assumed Herschel Walker was responsible of paying for an abortion, because the Day by day Beast is asserting, and there was zero point out of Walker’s denials!

Jonathan Capehart was so desirous to smear all of the Republicans, he asserted that conservative radio host Dana Loesch would not care about youngsters — which is at all times a bizarre allegation towards pro-lifers.

AMNA NAWAZ: We see Hunter Biden’s identify again within the headlines all week. Herschel Walker’s identify has been within the information over studies he paid for his girlfriend’s abortion again in 2009, whilst he helps a nationwide ban. And but Republican management is standing firmly by Herschel Walker. What does that let you know?

JONATHAN CAPEHART: It says quite a bit concerning the Republican Occasion proper now. To your level, David, I suppose it was Dana Loesch this week actually simply put the — put her finger on what is occurring with Herschel Walker and Georgia. And he or she stated, mainly — I am paraphrasing — who cares concerning the youngsters? Who cares concerning the abortion? All I would like is the Senate seat for almost all.

That’s what that is all about. Candidate high quality, sure, it ought to matter, however the Republican Occasion has made it clear. Senator Rick Scott, who’s the pinnacle of the Senate Marketing campaign Committee, by recruiting these people has made it clear candidate high quality would not matter. It is about placing individuals in place to win.

The truth that the polls are shut in Georgia, I feel, says quite a bit concerning the events, says quite a bit about Georgia, and says quite a bit about the place we’re as a rustic. There is no such thing as a method — I’m sufficiently old to recollect when a candidate like Herschel Walker would not even get anyplace near operating within the main.

Loesch provoked liberals by asserting “If the Day by day Beast story is true, you’re telling me Walker used his cash to reportedly pay some skank for an abortion and Warnock desires to make use of all of our monies to pay a complete bunch of skanks for abortions.” She added “I don’t care if Herschel Walker paid to abort endangered child eagles — I would like management of the Senate.” Like many conservatives, she sees the Day by day Beast as utilizing an nameless girl’s claims to maintain Sen. Raphael Warnock in energy.

Earlier, David Brooks was additionally unhappy the Walker story is not sinking his marketing campaign, agreeing with Capehart that he is not certified for the Senate. “It was, if someone did one thing actually unhealthy, Herschel Walker, a bunch of unacknowledged youngsters, like, that is not nice for those who’re a family-values man. You’d suppose it will damage. And but, for those who take a look at the polls, they’re fairly tight in that race. Walker was up one. Warnock was up extra just lately, however they’re tight. And so the query turns into, perhaps scandal would not matter.”

PBS aired a seven-minute interview on Hunter Biden with Washington Put up reporter Devlin Barrett, who broke the story on Thursday afternoon that federal brokers suppose Hunter might be charged with a number of crimes. 

Barrett wrongly claimed the federal probe “kind of burst into public view in a really uncommon method simply earlier than the 2020 election, when Republican operatives and advocates began speaking a few discovered laptop computer and Hunter Biden e-mails that have been on it.” No, earlier than the election, the laptop computer was handled like “Russian disinformation.” In December, Hunter admitted he was beneath investigation. 

Barrett bizarrely added: “And ever since then, it has been an intense political debate as as to whether Hunter Biden did something mistaken.” Possibly he is clear as a whistle? He is an altar boy?
