Democrat Denial of Reality in the Age of Video

In the last few weeks, numerous interviews, recorded on video, confirm that the Schumer Shutdown had been employed by Democrats for political leverage. Nevermind, the havoc the nation faced. During this same time, numerous videos featuring Zohran Mamdani appeared online, which prominently showcased his democracy-destroying, absurd views. No matter; for decades, the Democrat rank-and-file have been oblivious to incriminating video which reveals the true, sordid nature of their leaders.

In 2016, then Vice President Joe Biden announced to all, on video, that he had given the Deputy Secretary of Ukraine an ultimatum; either fire the prosecutor who was lax on combating corruption or lose $1 billion in U.S. aid. Biden and top officials in the Obama administration insisted that the removal of the prosecutor was official U.S. policy. Actually, Biden’s pressure intentionally stopped any subsequent investigation into Hunter Biden’s activities in Ukraine.

Fractured Facts

The Leftist fact checkers and the fakestream media created an enormous smokescreen: The prosecutor that Biden got fired was leading a corruption probe into the natural gas firm where Hunter Biden was a board member. American banking records firmly indicate that Hunter Biden’s firm enjoyed regular monthly sums, $166,000 or more, from the spring of 2014 to the fall of 2015.

VP Joe Biden was the chief U.S. officer then,  involved with Ukraine-Russia relations. Many of us have seen this video. During the 2020 election campaign, Donald Trump referred to it often. There is no mistake: Biden blatantly extorted Ukraine to do as he wished.

At least half of our population – Democrats -- could easily see this video, or hear about it, yet they remain ignorant of it. Now, nearly a year after the Biden presidency, if you want to call it that, nothing has changed about this bombshell executive coercion and massive cover-up.

Trump got impeached for legitimately dealing with Ukraine. Biden never missed a naptime in concern.

Footage Galore

We have legions of other videos that reveal perjuries before Congress. Anthony Fauci perjured himself several times in answering questions, particularly those of Sen. Rand Paul. James Clapper, former Director of National Intelligence and John Brennan, former CIA Director, demonstrably lied to Congressional committees.

Clapper, testifying before Congress, not only lied but then lied about his earlier lie, and claimed he was confused. Anyone watching Clapper's testimony, and then his denial of the lie that he told, readily sees the man’s perjury.

Lying to Congress under sworn testimony is actionable. Yet, other than conservative websites exposing numerous perjuries by those on the Left, years passed and nothing happened.

Questionable Characters

John Brennan, the epitome of Democrat lawlessness, knowingly misled Congress repeatedly, particularly about the subterfuge levied against Trump that took place in the Obama White House, leading up to Trump’s inauguration on Jan. 20, 2017. Brennan should be doing hard time by now, and in 2026, fortunately, that might well come to pass.

Ample video reveals that Brennan perjured himself on multiple occasions. Yet, like Clapper, Brennan's crime long went unnoticed by those in a position to take action. Thank goodness, the second Trump Administration won’t let this issue dangle.

Susan Rice, Joe Biden's domestic policy chief through April 2023, after the September 11, 2012, attack on our Benghazi consulate, spent two weeks making the talk show rounds, following the deaths of Ambassador Christopher Steele and three others. She knew that the reason for the attack was not the story she was feeding to the political talk show hosts. She told bold-faced lies that the attack was based on a video offensive to Islam, which had riled local partisans.

Rice wasn’t under oath, but it is clear from many sources that the attack on the consulate was not spontaneous and not based on a video. It was planned and coordinated in advance of September 11, 2012. The attackers had assembled the weapons that they needed days before and in an orchestrated effort, took aim at our consulate, knowing that the building was understaffed and lacked adequate security.

Free to Spread Disinformation

It has been 13 years since the Benghazi attack. Left-Wing media have never chastised Rice for her egregious two-week lying spree. We now know that the Obama administration intentionally delayed news of the attack. Obama sent Rice on her mission of mendacity so that few in America would connect the dots.

We had been attacked specifically on Sept. 11, only weeks before the 2012 election. This news would have diminished the vote for Obama. As you might guess, weeks after the election, news of the actual events and the timing all came out, but the damage was done: Obama was re-elected.

Dozens of other examples abound; the picture is clear. Even when top Democrats are caught in despicable lies on video, the Democrat sheeple are either unaware or couldn't care less.
