it was never hidden, Rudy basically ran on ā€œIā€™m gonna make life hell for everyone in NYC who isnā€™t white,ā€ that was literally his entire campaign.

But he wasnā€™t mocked and ridiculed like he is now. I mean he was on Seinfeld because he was so well liked at the time.

Yeah, Rudy weaponized the NYPD against black people before becoming Americaā€™s Bootlicking Toadie during the W Bush years and people act like heā€™s changed somehow.

Well, he used to be a lot better at faking competency.

Because you canā€™t mock Republicans when weā€™re at war. Do you hate freedom?

I guess if thatā€™s your criteria, but in terms of public opinion, no one is touching Cosby.

Itā€™s really difficult to overstate how beloved a figure he was in the 1980s.

right, thatā€™s a lot different than saying he was hiding it, though. It was a huge part of his appeal to a lot of people!

See told you he was safe

Yeah, i donā€™t think the warrant is so much a fishing expedition as looking for additional confirmation for stuff they already have. They may not begin reviewing the materials for another month.

I think Iā€™m just completely gone at this point because all I can think about is how the right is going to just frame all this as the Dems going after their political enemies and that like almost half the country will see it this way and then use that to justify even more authoritarianism/fascism down the road.

I have no idea exactly why Iā€™m saying this but I think itā€™s going to be the opposite, I think in a few weeks Fox never mentions his name again.

I hope youā€™re right.

IF THEY CAN DO IT TO A GREAT AMERICAN HERO LIKE 911 GIULIANI 911 THEN THEY CAN DO IT TO ANYONE!

John Solomon is a ā€œjournalistā€ who previously was editor-in-chief of the Washington Times and wrote a bunch of pro-Trump columns for The Hill, including a bunch of Ukraine columns with questionable sources that were the basis for multiple appearances on FNC.

Iā€™m assuming the right-wing spin is that this is a witchhunt to protect Hunter Biden.

Good thing he got paid a lot for his work. Oh wait.
