U.S. Senator Katie Britt Highlights Roles of Senior Staff, Legacy Media in Biden Cover-Up During Senate Judiciary Committee Hearing
WASHINGTON, D.C.— Today, U.S. Senator Katie Britt (R-Ala.) attended a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing entitled, “Unfit to Serve: How the Biden Cover-Up Endangered America and Undermined the Constitution.” Witnesses included Theodore Wold, a visiting fellow for Law and Technology Policy at the Heritage Foundation, and Former White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer.
Senator Britt began with opening remarks, highlighting the importance of the hearing and lamenting Democrats who did not attend the hearing: “This is incredibly important. You look at what the [Biden] Administration did, you look at what the Democratic Party did, you look at what the legacy media did—it is absolutely inexcusable. It is not only dangerous, it is disgusting. The fact that we have none of my Democratic colleagues here…is absolutely mind blowing.”
The Senator began her line of questioning by asking about Section 4 of the 25th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, saying, “Do we need to more clearly define what ‘unable’ means in the 25thAmendment?” to which Mr. Wold responded, “most certainly.”
“…[F]rom all of us, from the outside, we’re saying there is a problem. And the fact that we could get no one on the inside to actually take a look at what they already knew to exist and then be able to hold them accountable. We have to have other guardrails moving forward, and that is absolute,” stated the Senator.
Concluding her line of questioning, the Senator noted the importance of holding the Biden Administration’s senior staff accountable, “I have been a senior staff member…Is there any way to hold senior staff accountable for either helping to cover up and/or moving people to the side, because it is clear that there were people within this [Biden] Administration that saw that, and they should be sitting in front us today answering the question of why they turned their back on America, because that’s exactly what they did.”
In this same line of questioning, she also cited the legacy media’s role in this cover-up, directing her question at former White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer saying, “What mechanisms should we put in place to be able to hold them accountable for not actually following what is clearly in front of them?”
Mr. Spicer responded, saying, “When the Biden White House stripped 440 White House hard passes from independent journalists, they were attempting to control the narrative … Part of what I think this Administration has done so well is bringing in new voices … the growth of independent media is so healthy for our democracy and I think we need more of it, not less.”
Mr. Wold responded, saying, “if there was an effort by senior staff, the Politburo as they seem to like to have called themselves, if they were purposely distancing cabinet members, evading, difficult Q&A with press, all as an attempt to conceal the president’s mental acuity, yes, they should be held accountable.”
