Fox News analyst: Jan. 6 panel could be doing GOP ‘a great service’ by damaging Trump
Fox News political pundit Brit Hume argued Tuesday that many in the GOP may appreciate any damage the House Jan. 6 committee is able to inflict on former President Trump.
“If they succeed either by damaging him or staining him such that he is either unable or for legal or political reasons to run again they might end up finding out that they’ve done the Republican Party a great service, because I think a great many Republicans think they can’t win with Trump at the head of the ticket again,” Hume said during an appearance on Fox’s evening newscast “Special Report.”
“They are afraid of his supporters and don’t want to come out against him directly. But they’d like him to go away. If the effect of this committee is to make his possible candidacy go away, I think a great many Republicans would privately be very glad.”
