Alyssa Farah on Calling Kayleigh McEnany ‘Liar’ and ‘Opportunist’: Hard to Say It, but It’s the Truth

‘Silence is one thing...but it is far worse to amplify the lies that led to January 6’

EXCERPT:

FARAH: “Listen, it was hard to read that back, to hear it, and to say it when I did, but it was the truth. Listen, silence is one thing, people who are in the White House not themselves speaking up against the election lies, that’s shameful, it’s not a good thing, but it is far worse to amplify the lies that led to January 6th, and that have taken hold in this country in such a dangerous way. So I hold those who pushed those lies, especially who I believe knew better, in a different category than those who merely remained silent. And something I keep going back to and just kind of reflecting two years after the fact of January 6th is if doing the right thing was easy, more people would do it. But so many people sat on the sidelines and just decided someone else might speak out and do the right thing, someone else might step in and stop this violence in real time. Kayleigh, others had massive platforms, they had massive public profiles that they could have used that day to hopefully try to stop the violence. But in the months and years that followed to stop this just insidious lie that’s consumed the Republican Party that the 2020 election was stolen, when in fact it, of course, was not.”
