Ted Lieu Gets Decimated Again After Truly Garbage Take on the Colorado Decision
Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA) is not the sharpest tool in the drawer. He weighed in on the Colorado Supreme Court decision to boot former President Donald Trump off the ballot.
The Colorado trial court HELD A TRIAL and made rock solid findings of fact that Trump “engaged in insurrection.” SCOTUS would not have any basis to overrule the findings. The only way SCOTUS can overturn is to make the perverse ruling that Presidents can engage in insurrection.
This is just nonsense. There was a hearing where there was no due process for Trump and no jury. Their "evidence" was the political nonsense of the Jan. 6 Committee.

NBC News "reporter" Ben Collins, who we've been reliably informed is an expert in disinformation, similarly told on himself when he went after prominent Critical Race Theory critic Christopher Rufo, suggesting that the problem isn't Claudine Gay but mainstream media outlets that (rightfully) treat Rufo - who was the first to research and document the accusations - as a credible source to be taken seriously.
Independent journalist Glenn Greenwald was on the same page:
The entire "disinformation industry" was manufactured after the 2016 election -- "disinformation expert" is a fake credential -- and its only purpose was to justify censorship of dissent from neoliberal orthodoxies by masquerading such partisan censorship as neutral science...
