MAGA Is Freaking Out Over Dem Investigations
"Let's look at Sean Hannity, who has discovered bipartisanship," Sam Seder says, introducing a Fox News segment that soon has The Majority Report crew laughing.
Hannity is discussing Democratic investigations after the election, highlighting posts from Ron Wyden, Robert Garcia and Hasan Piker before turning to legal analyst Jonathan Turley. His complaint is that the days of politicians working across the aisle are gone.
Seder and his colleagues hear a contradiction. They recall Donald Trump's campaign rhetoric and the "lock her up" chants of 2016, questioning Hannity's appeal for cooperation in that light. This is a political reaction clip, with Hannity's broadcast serving as the starting point for Seder's rebuttal.
The Short, titled "MAGA Is Freaking Out Over Dem Investigations", drew an estimated 108,000 views in its first day, more than six times the channel's usual start for that format. The comments were also substantially busier than usual, with discussion centering on bipartisanship, subpoenas and congressional accountability.
But Seder's closing argument goes beyond the exchange with Hannity. He says hearings can examine corporate malfeasance and help develop legislation. In his telling, investigations are not simply a spectacle aimed at political opponents: they can establish the basis for future policy.
