Republicans are known to do a majority of the pouncing and fixating on Capitol Hill because theirs are the views not shared with the media. As a result, the GOP’s pronouncements are treated as novel — worthy of coverage not for the content but rather for their temerity to disagree with the prevailing narrative.

A recent House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing searching for answers (and reminding American voters of Biden’s foreign-policy incompetence in an election year) regarding the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan is the latest event to earn such consideration.
