Fux Noise host says Jan. 6 committee testimony is not 'not truthful' and could be used in campaign

Fox News host Martha MacCallum speculated that Democrats could use footage from the House Select Committee hearings in the 2022 midterms and the 2024 presidential election.

While MacCallum did not dispute the testimony from witnesses who spoke about former President Donald Trump's efforts to subvert the 2020 election, she predicted that the footage will be "turned around" into campaign ads.

"Also, every time I look at these hearings, I think, there's another campaign ad, right?" MacCallum said. "There's another moment where this is all gonna be turned around — not to say that it's not truthful — but it will be extremely useful in coming campaigns, especially in the presidential, when you look back at what we have in terms of the Mike Pence part of all of this."

Doing so would be illegal, according to House ethics rules, which prohibit "radio and television tapes and film of any coverage of House committee proceedings" being used by campaigns or any organization "to promote or oppose the candidacy of any person for public office."

and worry about dishonest and treasonous activity. Last week she was rambling on about Hillary during one of the recesses. I have no time for Martha.

affirmative is expressed as the negative of its contrary, such as "you won't be sorry", meaning, "you'll be glad". Or, in this case, "the statements are not untrue", meaning, "the statements are true".

Who knew that faux snooze was literate (as Gloria Babcock said in "Auntie Mame)?
