But if you already take his speech, and compare it to literally any stump speech ever given in the history of politics, you would see absolutely no deviation. But again, because the Democrats have the media in their pocket, carrying whatever message, they can go on with impeachment part deux, what they started before the original inauguration.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019re just going to continue it. They\u2019re all excited to be able to grandstand, to be able to selectively edit, to do their faux outrage on a global scale with TV and free airtime. That\u2019s what this is all about,\u201d he continued. \u201cI thought that these senators would maybe have something better to do, maybe they would actually fight for the American people for a change, maybe they would actually get to the business of helping us through this pandemic. I don\u2019t see that happening. And I certainly don\u2019t see it happening from the Biden administration, who\u2019s killing American jobs, defending China, eliminating the ban of the Confucius Institute, which is China taking over our universities and ultimately bribing our professors to get, you know, all the data that you have out of the research projects in American universities. I mean, you\u2019re opening the border, you have to test people coming in legally to the country for COVID-19, but illegal immigrants streaming across the border, there\u2019s no test, they just get released into society.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump Jr. said that while he does not want to impeach \u201ceveryone in the Democratic caucus who says ridiculous things\u201d that if Democrats are going to play that game then Republicans need to do it too.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlthough if they\u2019re gonna pursue these things, Republicans have to stop trying to play the game differently,\u201d he said. \u201cWe got to play hardball. If they\u2019re playing hardball, we\u2019ve been playing t-ball for generations while the Democrats have played hardball. We\u2019ve turned the other cheek as they\u2019ve slapped us in the face and laugh as they\u2019ve won every major fight along the way, while we claim some sort of moral high ground and losing everything. That\u2019s what Donald Trump showed the Republican Party, that you can push back, that you don\u2019t have to go with their norms, that you don\u2019t have to listen to the media when they\u2019re just flagrantly putting out nonsense. You can actually push back and I hope that the Republican Party does that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump Jr. added that he believes what the political left is engaged in nowadays amounts to \u201cMcCarthyism on steroids.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id>\n<p><em>SEAN HANNITY, FOX NEWS HOST: Here with reaction Donald Trump Jr. All right, a lot to digest. Four major arguments of my mind. One, it\u2019s unconstitutional. Two the snap impeachment was made before we found out that the whole thing had been pre-planned in advance. Three, the insurrectionist language of the left, which I kind of think is a big deal, and we can get to more your thoughts.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>DONALD TRUMP JR., VICE PRESIDENT OF TRUMP ORGANIZATION: Well, Sean, if it wasn\u2019t for double standards, the Democrats would have no standards at all. I mean, I think in your monologue, you sort of highlighted all of the hypocrisy that we saw during 10 months of rioting, looting, arson, in your face type of politics. Candidly, whatever my father said on January 6, was mild in comparison. But if you already take his speech, and compare it to literally any stump speech ever given in the history of politics, you would see absolutely no deviation. But again, because the Democrats have the media in their pocket, carrying whatever message, they can go on with impeachment part deux, what they started before the original inauguration. They\u2019re just going to continue it. They\u2019re all excited to be able to grandstand, to be able to selectively edit, to do their faux outrage on a global scale with TV and free airtime. That\u2019s what this is all about. And I think that\u2019s the way we have to counter that. We have to do the same things. We have to fight back the way the Democrats fight. And I don\u2019t mean physically because in today\u2019s world, if you say the word \u2018fight,\u2019 all of a sudden, magically, that means an insurrection. Give me a break, Sean, this stuff is asinine. 44 Republicans have already voted to say that the sham impeachment part deux is unconstitutional. Aren\u2019t we, in the middle of a pandemic, Sean? I thought that these senators would maybe have something better to do, maybe they would actually fight for the American people for a change, maybe they would actually get to the business of helping us through this pandemic. I don\u2019t see that happening. And I certainly don\u2019t see it happening from the Biden administration, who\u2019s killing American jobs, defending China, eliminating the ban of the Confucius Institute, which is China taking over our universities and ultimately bribing our professors to get, you know, all the data that you have out of the research projects in American universities. I mean, you\u2019re opening the border, you have to test people coming in legally to the country for COVID-19, but illegal immigrants streaming across the border, there\u2019s no test, they just get released into society. The double standards are insane, and maybe the United States Senate should be focused on that, rather than their nonsense.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>HANNITY: You know, I know that there are going to be two eight hour days available for both the case they want to put on. I don\u2019t know what they could possibly say, except slice, dice, selectively edit. Oh, look at this, but let\u2019s take out when Donald Trump Trump said to march peacefully and patriotically, we\u2019ll take that part out.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>TRUMP: Minor detail, Sean.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>HANNITY: It\u2019s a minor detail. Yeah. It\u2019s called a fact. Yeah. It\u2019s actually called real words that they didn\u2019t want, that\u2019s inconvenient for their argument. But it\u2019s not inconvenient their insurrectionists language, Don Jr. is it? It\u2019s not a them, then all of the ones I played and many more I could go on all night. They would be guilty based on their own standard. And yet the media is only on one side. That sad.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>TRUMP: Correct. And more importantly, the Republicans are also and rightfully so. I don\u2019t think we should be impeaching everyone in the Democratic caucus who said ridiculous things, frankly, much more inflammatory than I agree that Donald Trump said, I\u2019m not about that. Although if they\u2019re gonna pursue these things, Republicans have to stop trying to play the game differently. We got to play hardball. If they\u2019re playing hardball, we\u2019ve been playing t-ball for generations while the Democrats have played hardball. We\u2019ve turned the other cheek as they\u2019ve slapped us in the face and laugh as they\u2019ve won every major fight along the way, while we claim some sort of moral high ground and losing everything. That\u2019s what Donald Trump showed the Republican Party, that you can push back, that you don\u2019t have to go with their norms, that you don\u2019t have to listen to the media when they\u2019re just flagrantly putting out nonsense. You can actually push back and I hope that the Republican Party does that. If they go back to the old ways of just rolling over and dying each and every time someone in the media wants to write a mean piece about them because they can\u2019t stand them or their constituents or Donald Trump, 75 million people that voted for him in this country, the highest of any conservative in the history of America, there\u2019s no future for the party. So, they better learn from that, and as much as I despise the notion of it, we have to be playing the same game. So we got to come out aggressively, we got to pursue those kind of ideas. If they\u2019re going to do it, it\u2019s the same with cancel culture. Notice that only goes one way. I\u2019m not for cancel culture, but if they\u2019re going to use it against us, against half of the country, on a daily basis, and use it to get rid of people to suppress them to bully them, and it\u2019s bullying in so many cases, you know, if they come after me, it\u2019s one thing I got a platform. I\u2019m a big boy, when they go after some of these people that don\u2019t have any platform, they try to attack them, as CNN has done with random people who post something on Facebook. That kind of bullying has to stop and we have to push back accordingly.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>HANNITY: Hey Don, look where it\u2019s at, it\u2019s cancel culture. Oh, have you, are you or have you ever been a supporter of Donald Trump? Re-education camps. They won\u2019t hire people that serve their country in the White House. Oh, Don, Jr. might buy a house in the neighborhood, oh if I get the vapors. Oh, the feigned outrage. It is literally it is the sickest it\u2019s ever been. Ever.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>TRUMP: It really is. I mean, it\u2019s McCarthyism on steroids. I mean, think about it this way, Sean. I mean, they\u2019re doing this across the board. But even within the military, if you have conservative leanings, we\u2019re going to be purged? Well, I don\u2019t know, I called a couple of friends of mine, you know, in the SEAL teams, you know, how many guys do you think would lean-left in the teams? They go maybe about maybe 1%. And they\u2019d be really, really moderate on just about everything. So this notion of purging conservatives from the military, I mean, what are they protecting? I mean, these people have to represent Americans. This is half of the country that they\u2019re talking about trying to cancel, trying to suppress. And guess what, this is the kind of treatment and behavior that created the rise of Donald Trump. And I think we\u2019re gonna see that in midterms, because as always the Democrats are overplaying their hand. They don\u2019t get it because they live in their little echo chambers. And I understand the irony of the son of a billionaire from Manhattan having a better pulse of the American people than the people chosen by those people to represent them in Congress. But the Congress is clueless. The Democrats in Congress have no idea what\u2019s going on, because they have their lackeys in the media, telling them they\u2019re right about all of their nonsensical attacks.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
