MSNBC
host
Symone
Sanders-Townsend
blasted
a
Republican
politician
on-air
for
false
claims
about
her
and
President
Joe
Biden.
In
another
example
of
what
not
to
do
with
Black
women
on
top
of
their
game,
MSNBC
host
Symone
Sanders-Townsend
embarrassed
a
Republican
member
of
the
House
of
Representatives
who
appeared
on
her
show
over
the
weekend.
Representative
Tim
Burchett
of
Tennessee
found
himself
in
a
corner
unable
to
answer
the
host’s
questions
on
why
he
supported
the
House’s
inquiry
to
impeach
President
Joe
Biden.
“You
all
are
saying
that
you’re
going
to
follow
the
facts
in
the
inquiry,
but
there
has
been
no
evidence
that
has
been
produced
that
the
president
committed
a
high
crime
or
misdemeanor
while
he
was
president.
And
so
if
you
don’t
find
any
evidence,
at
what
point
will
the
inquiry
be
considered
concluded?”
Sanders-Townsend
asked.
Burchett
then
rattled
off
false
claims
about
payments
linked
to
the
president’s
son,
Hunter
Biden,
which
Republicans
claim
is
proof
that
the
president
took
advantage
of
his
office.
“I
haven’t
heard
a
high
crime
or
misdemeanor
yet,”
the
host
replied.
“Are
you
gonna
let
me
answer
the
question,
ma’am?
I
know
you’re
a
Democrat
operative
and
work
for
a
Democrat
consulting
firm,
but
—”
Burchett
began.
“Alright,
congressman,
let’s
do
it
then,”
Symone
cut
in
swiftly,
adding
that
they
are
“out
of
time,
but
we’re
gonna
do
it.
I
did
use
to
advise
a
number
of
individuals,
I’ve
also
advised
some
corporations
and
companies,
but
here
I’m
just
here
to
be
an
advocate
for
the
viewer,”
she
said.
“And
I
will
ask
you
one
last
time.
What
is
the
evidence
that
the
committee
has
that
Joe
Biden,
while
he
was
president,
committed
a
high
crime,
misdemeanor,
or
treason?
Because
that
is
the
bar
for
an
impeachment
inquiry.”
Burchett
responded,
“You
have
to
ask
yourself,
ma’am,
why
a
vice
president
or
a
president
would
get
$40,000
through
a
Chinese
communist
corporation…”
It
was
at
that
point
that
Sanders-Townsend
cut
him
off.
“With
that
thank
you
very
much,
congressman
it’s
always
a
pleasure,
you
just
can’t
come
on
here
and
lie,”
she
said.
The
impeachment
inquiry
by
the
House
Republicans
has
drawn
many
critics
who
feel
its
nothing
but
a
distraction
–
Burchett
is
an
avid
supporter
of
former
President
Donald
Trump
and
voted
to
remove
former
Speaker
Kevin
McCarthy
from
his
position
earlier
this
year.
