It's no secret that Republicans love riling up the culture wars. But in a recent campaign speech, Trump spelled out the cynicism behind that strategy... and, @mehdirhasan says, he channeled past bigoted politicos to do it. WATCH:

Republicans are turning to every trick of “whataboutism” they can find in the wake of former President Trump’s indictment under the Espionage Act. But so many of the claims from Trump’s defenders are outright false. It’s time to #DebunkThatTweet.

When @JohnKiriakou was charged under the Espionage Act for exposing the CIA’s torture programs, Republicans called him unpatriotic.
So, @mehdirhasan asks, what does he make of today’s GOP being, “totally fine with Trump keeping national defense secrets in the bathroom?”

“Nobody ever said the Espionage Act was unconstitutional in every application.”
@JameelJaffer explains that, while the Espionage Act has been abused to punish whistleblowers and publishers, that’s not the case with Trump’s indictment.

“First, it’s Trump. Next, it’s you.”
Trump allies would have you think he’s the first to be prosecuted under the Espionage Act, that ordinary Americans could be next. But take a look at all the people who Trump’s DOJ helped send to prison for the same crime! Start the clock!

Former White House Deputy Press Secretary @SarahAMatthews1 tells @MehdiRHasan she has “some regrets” about her time in the Trump administration.
“As a spokesperson for him, it was a difficult job because you’re not always going to agree with 100% of what he said.”

One thing we learned for sure this week, regardless of whether Donald Trump is ever convicted of a crime, is that Republicans don’t give a damn about national security or classified information. @MehdiRHasan calls out the GOP over their blatant hypocrisy. WATCH:
