Remember when conservatives told us they were the party of family values? I know this will shock you, but they lied. A couple of Hunter Biden's family members have rallied around him while he faces court proceedings. That's what families do. First, Fox News's Jesse Watters took issue with a Black friend of President Joe Biden's showing up to court to show his support.

Newsmax host Rob Finnerty actually called Rep. Andy Biggs to the carpet over Republicans' fixation on obtaining the Robert Hur Tapes for the sole purpose of trying to embarrass President Biden. Rep. Biggs was named by Trumper Ali Alexander as helping to plan the January 6th, "Stop The Steal," rally that led to the infamous insurrection at the US Capitol. As a member of Congress who helped foment treason, he will do anything to continue to overthrow and undermine this president.

The ironically named True The Vote founder Catherine Engelbrecht isn't taking Salem Media Group yanking 2,000 Mules from its platforms, and the apology they issued very well. And really, it's Engelbrecht who should be apologizing, too, after her group told a Georgia judge in February that it doesn't have any evidence to support its claims of illegal ballot stuffing during the 2020 general election and the runoff two months later. Dinesh D'Souza's widely debunked film used research from True the Vote as a basis to prove its false claims of ballot stuffing. "On Friday, we were surprised to read that Salem Media had announced that they had settled in a lawsuit that was filed several years ago by an individual that appeared in the 2000 Mules movie and that individual sued Salem Media and Dinesh D'Souza and True the Vote and myself and Gregg Phillips," she said, Media Matters reports. Engelbrecht sees a conspiracy theory behind the well-deserved apology.

Senator Ron Johnson (Q-Moscow) went on Newsmax to whine to Rob Schmitt about how "unfair" the judicial system is because they charge and try people in the place the alleged crimes occurred: The jury pool came out of an electorate that's about 95% Biden voters versus 5% Trump. Whereas Hunter now, he's being tried in Wilmington, Delaware.

Fox News host Jesse Watters claimed Black jurors on the Hunter Biden trial case will engage in jury nullification and violate their oath of office to acquit Hunter Biden. Conspiracy theories and racism rules on Fox News. JESSE WATTERS: This might seem like an open-and-shut case, but Jonathan Turley points out that Hunter's legal team might have an ace up their sleeve. It's called jury nullification. It's when you pick a jury that will give you a not guilty verdict.

FLORENCE, Italy — An Italian court reconvicted Amanda Knox of slander on Wednesday, even after she was exonerated in the brutal 2007 murder of her British roommate while the two were exchange students in Italy. The court found that Knox had wrongly accused an innocent man, the Congolese owner of the bar where she worked part time, of the killing.
