Navarro just admitted plot to steal election from Biden on MSNBC

@SpiroAgnewGhost
This. Really. Happened. On. Live. TV.

Peter Navarro is perhaps THE most insane person in Trump’s orbit besides Mike Lindell.

If he's going to invite a guest, let them talk. It might have been a lot more interesting if we could have figured out what Navarro was trying to say...lies, or not.

Even the crazies have slips of the tongue once in a while.

If they have anything factual to present, then let them do so.

Otherwise its just mouths opening and closing with some interesting facial grimaces and lots of hand-waving.

We need sane people to interrupt idiot traitors like Navarro so that the idiot QOPers watching will perhaps understand that they are crazy, their views are insane, and they are dumber then a block of granite.

You HAVE to spoon feed people.

I approve of his interview style 100%.

Seriously, how can Navarro, at the least, NOT be arrested and charged?

What more do the powers that be need?

This is a confession of guilt plain and simple. An open and shut case.

According to Navarro, Pence didn't betray America. He betrayed Trump.

The interrupting is annoying, but it's necessary. Otherwise, the guy is going to Gish-Gallop you with false claim after false claim, and you'll have let them pass so when you do make your case, you not only have to present your side, but now you have a mountain of unanswered claims to deal with as well. Someone says BS right off the bat, you call them on it right off the bat.

That's the crux of the problem -- the Big Lie has never been about the will of the nation or a free and fair election. It's all about tfg staying in power for his own sake, by any means necessary.

The whole package, the spiel, the body language, all of it, is designed to overwhelm his opponent. Even the big grin he displayed was to disarm Ari. But Ari was having none of it. I was practically cheering for Ari as he was going toe to toe with Navarro. Of course, Navarro is selling his book so he doesn’t mind going on a show like Ari’s and strutting his stuff. There are a few people that are really good at that tactic and the harder Ari bore down on him, made him just try harder. Navarro has the talk fast, move the hands emphatically and never pause down to an art.

However, just follow along and his logic falls apart. I don’t care how many documents he read. How many thousand pages he devoured. A lie is still a lie no matter how pretty you wrap it up and put a bow on it.

I hope that as the tweets, texts and emails are revealed, those who are curious what really happened will wake up. Just as some of the people who carried out the Jan. 6th insurrection are coming to realize they were misled and fed lies, let us hope that those who blindly voted for tRump will understand they were duped as well.

I am eager for the hearings to start. Pop some corn, pour a beverage or two and pull up a chair.
