More than desperately, we need men to stop abusing women and, when they don’t; the other males who are present to stop them, convincingly, and with punishing effect as an example to other males who lack the morals and courage to do the same. It’s not the obligation of women to stem abuse by men.

The gist of the Jack Smith hearing was that Republicans will fabricate evidence to entrap opponents and they were upset that Jack Smith had the audacity to investigate Republicans in Congress for possibly abetting Trump's 1/6 insurrection, in other words for doing his job.
