They can learn something about moral clarity. They can learn something about doing the right thing. They can learn something about patriotism.

Here is what Fox News had to offer in the wake of Schiff’s speech.

There is nothing here on the content or the merits of the House defense. They are talking about television ratings and CNN. They are making vague references to our “Constitution.” Is this all the Fox News crowd has to offer–gotcha lines and sarcastic jokes? I am guessing we will see more of this on Saturday when Trump’s defense lawyers take the stage. Will Cipollone and Sekulow be able to present a counter-narrative to the one presented by the House Managers over the last several days? Will they even try? Is there a fact-based alternative narrative?
It is only a matter of time before Robert Jeffress gets on Fox News with Lou Dobbs to trumpet the court evangelical defense of Trump. Expect multiple appeals to Trump’s visit to the March for Life. They are already weighing in:
Today President @realDonaldTrump becomes the first president in history to participate in the March for Life while every Dem candidate worships at the shrine of Planned Parenthood. I’ll discuss on “@LouDobbs Tonight” at 7 and 10pm ET on @FoxBusiness.

President Trump has made protecting the innocent unborn one of his top priorities. @realDonaldTrump becoming the 1st @POTUS to address the March for Life is dramatic proof he is a champion for life and richly deserves the support of pro-life & evangelical voters.
