Democratic Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz laid into Fox News legal analyst Jonathan Turley for attempting to treat 'pure conjecture' as hard fact during a recent Congressional hearing.

Florida Democratic Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz criticized Fox News legal analyst Jonathan Turley for treating "pure conjecture" as proven fact during a hearing for the House’s new Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government.

Wasserman Schultz did not accept Turley's claim he has “unique knowledge” of the “Twitter files” leak of a series of messages between the social media platform's leadership team in the run-up to the 2020 presidential election.


The purportedly leaked messages shed light on the political disputes that erupted at Twitter as its officials deliberated over how to handle the dissemination of a New York Post story about the contents of a laptop owned by President Joe Biden's son, attorney Hunter Biden.

When Wasserman Schultz asked him if he has "a formal relationship" with Twitter, Turley said he does not and only has "an account," which prompted the politician to shut him down immediately.

You can watch their exchange in the video below.

After Turley—an attorney and law professor at The George Washington University—admitted his knowledge of Twitter did not go beyond the Twitter files leak and what he's personally read in the media, Wasserman replied with the following:

“So essentially your responses to the questions here today were your own opinion and pure conjecture."
"You said that you don’t have any specific or unique knowledge of Twitter, but you spoke as if you did. ... And so this is only just your opinion, would you say, as a Twitter account user?”

After Turley denied that he was merely giving his "opinion" as a Twitter user, saying he came to "give legal analysis based on facts that are in the public domain," Wasserman Schultz said:

“‘Legal analysis’ is another word for ‘opinion.'"

Many praised Wasserman Schultz for the way she handled the exchange and criticized Turley in the process.




Turley later made an appearance on Fox and Friends to decry his treatment at the hands of Wasserman Schultz, saying her refusal to hear his analysis of the Twitter files leak is "like saying you have to work at the Pentagon if you want to testify about the implications of the Pentagon Papers."

Turley went on to say that the "whole premise of [his] testimony was that Twitter has now authenticated and confirmed these facts" and suggested Wasserman Schultz and her fellow Democrats are not interested in talking about the government's role in censoring Americans.

RFK Jr. Admits That Banning Fluoridated Water Will Cause 'More Cavities'—But He's OK With That

Health and Human Services Secretary (HHS) Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was criticized after admitting in a Fox News interview with Harris Faulkner that his proposed fluoridated water ban would likely lead people to have more cavities—but defended the move nonetheless.

While fluoride is not federally mandated in drinking water, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) had long recommended its inclusion. Fluoride helps prevent cavities by strengthening enamel, and numerous studies have shown that fluoridated water reduces tooth decay in both children and adults.

Fox News personality Jesse Watters was widely mocked after he tried to give New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani a scary nickname in the vein of Conan the Destroyer—only for it to backfire considerably.

Watters is the latest member of the GOP to lash out at Mamdani, a democratic socialist who handily defeated former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo in New York City's Democratic mayoral primary last week.
