“[Marc] Thiessen compares the lawyers who are the subject of Liz Cheney’s attack ad to mob lawyers, implying that their loyalties lie with terrorists. Stewart disagrees, asking if Thiessen thinks that a lawyer who defends a pedophile can then be deemed a pedophile sympathizer. Disturbingly, Thiesson appears to agree with the notion, wondering aloud what would motivate someone to spend their time “trying to free these people.” Stewart responds: “Because you believe in the rule of law and that the country’s fabric is decided not by the easiest cases to take but the hardest cases to take.””
