NPR’s Pathetic ‘Fact-Check’ of Byron Donalds After Trump Inauguration

Even on Inauguration Day, you can count on taxpayer-funded National Public Radio to act like a hive of Democrats. It’s not surprising. As longtime NPR editor Uri Berliner reported last year, he investigated D.C. voting records and found “87 registered Democrats working in editorial positions and zero Republicans.”
On “Morning Edition” before Donald Trump was sworn in, co-host Leila Fadel interviewed Rep. Byron Donalds, R-Fla. After some milder opening questions, Fadel turned to revenge: “President-elect Trump did promise dozens of times on the campaign trail that his rivals, critics, even some private citizens should be investigated, prosecuted, put in jail, or otherwise punished. Do these pardons and this peaceful transfer of power that’s happening today put an end to talk of revenge in politics?”
Donalds expressed concerns about preemptive pardons, calling out the House Jan. 6 committee, the Pelosi-Picked Panel: “What this really demonstrates is the fact that they knew that they were doing things that were wrong. No. 1, you’re not allowed to destroy evidence in a congressional hearing. That is against federal law. So, by Joe Biden providing these pardons to those staffers and, frankly, the members of those committee, he once again is subverting the law.”
