Media Matters’ Carusone: It’s Good that Republicans Oppose Qatar Gift But They Have to Say it Again, and Again, and Again

EXCERPT:

CARUSONE: “You have the right-wing echo chamber that sort of hammers away at it, and then you have these elected officials that don’t just make these one-off comments or post sort of the check-off-the-box tweet, but they make it a part of their public persona. I mean, they talked about Hunter Biden on Fox News 13,440 times from the 1st of January 2023 to the middle of 2024. That’s how you fuel rage, and you get Ted Cruz to not just say it once, but many, many times. And then that’s how you get Congress to act. So it’s good that they’re checking off the box. But in order for it to actually do anything, there needs to be a lot more rage from that. And that is on them as much as it’s on the inability for Democrats and sort of the broader sort of left-wing echo chamber to find those fractures and apply any pressure to them."
