A growing trend among tRump supporting media and lawyers, the "no reasonable person" defense.
First we have Sydney "the kraken" Powell claiming she shouldn't be prosecuted or disbarred for lying and wasting court's time and money because nobody with any brains would believe her outlandish claims.
Then there's Tucker Carlson and his lawyer's assertion that the "'general tenor' of the show should then inform a viewer that he is not stating actual facts about the topics he discusses.
And now we've got lawyers stating that the insurrectionists are "short bus people'.
And that too much Fox News is detrimental to your mental health.
It's obvious that the leaders of the Republican party as well as the voters know they are well below average intelligence, and they are making it a good thing.
Anyway, this whole thing seems crazy to me.
