"And you know the smoking gun evidence that the right knows this, A.B., is Fox News's decision not to carry it," Wallace said.
"And if you look at the way Fox News carried Trump's water, it was by smearing Col. [Alexander] Vindman, it was by smearing Marie Yovanovich, it was by smearing any government official who spoke up on the side of the rule of law and the truth," she explained. "The challenge -- I wouldn't call it a challenge, but the sort of fly in the ointment for the Trump side here is that all the witnesses will be deep, deep Trump insiders and all the testimony will be on tape and in texts. It's in their own words how they tried to politicize an election and overthrow the U.S. government."

"And you know, Kevin McCarthy was there to protect his oath to the Constitution. If he will lie about that, he will lie about anything."

"Democrats can talk about this to voters," she said. "They have to go straight to the heart of this. Dancing around it is a waste of time. Yes, people care about inflation and gas prices, but they can talk about this too, and they owe it — Democrats owe this to the body that they serve, to their own oaths to the Constitution — to talk about the fact that if you house and harbor insurrectionists, if you lie for them, you don't deserve to hold power."
