[Red State] Harvard’s Alan Dershowitz and George Washington University’s Jonathan Turley, both famous law professors and self-proclaimed liberals, slammed the Thursday night January 6 Committee 6 hearing for being "unethical" and for failing to prove the charges.Referring to the video of Trump’s speech that the committee aired, Dershowitz told Newsmax’s "Spicer & Co." Friday: "They doctored the tape!" for leaving out a key line.
The lawyers were both liberal darlings for years, DC cocktail circuit fixtures who could be relied on to appear on CNN and give an air of authority while commenting on the day’s topics.
But that all that changed with the arrival of Trump. Dershowitz notably started appearing on conservative media, suddenly popping up on Fox News instead of MSNBC, eventually even testifying at Trump’s second impeachment trial in defense of Trump.
Turley also testified on Trump’s side for that impeachment effort, and more recently has been vocal about his disdain for the current hearings.
It’s quite the turnaround for this pair. Poor Dershowitz has been shunned by his "tolerant" Martha’s Vineyard "friends" for daring to question liberal orthodoxy. Turley, meanwhile, was inundated with threats for daring to defend Trump.
They’ve been among the few voices of sanity among liberals since the arrival of Trump, and a source of hope among conservatives that not everyone has lost their minds.
