"History will remember" is bullshit

@ThisWeekABC just booked Steve Scalise — one of the biggest pushers of the Big Lie that the election was stolen

Scalise is a liar. He is dishonest. He is going to lie again and again

These news shows are helping Republicans rewrite history
ABC has been booking Big Liars for months. On Feb. 7 they rewarded Roger Wicker for lying about the election and let him push the bogus claim that the impeachment trial was unconstitutional. He was never asked about pushing lies about "voter fraud" https://twitter.com/MattNegrin/status/1358447642829852677
ABC also booked Rand Paul who, TO THIS DAY, is claiming the election was stolen. He was allowed to lie about this for an entire segment on @ThisWeekABC https://twitter.com/MattNegrin/status/1359232531682500610
Five days ago ABC helped Kellyanne Conway erase her history as a mendacious threat to the public who spread misinformation about coronavirus by inviting her on American Idol https://twitter.com/AmericanIdol/status/1361187986197663747
And I hope nobody has forgotten ABC's most egregious decision, to make Sean Spicer a dancing king
The message this sends, unequivocally, to every Republican who spread the Big Lie:

You will be rewarded for what you did. You will always have a place on ABC to lie. We will never hold you accountable for trying to overturn an election by deceiving millions of people.
At the very least, these Republicans *could* be held accountable in an interview. You could ask them "do you acknowledge Joe Biden won the election and that it was fair?" And if they say no, you end the interview.

It'll never happen because Republicans control TV news media
Full disclosure I used to work at ABC News and holy fucking shit is that embarrassing
“History will remember” what a fucking joke

The people whose job it is to literally remember what happened and record it as history have already forgotten what their own network cameras showed on a loop one fucking month ago
