It’s not honest, it’s a strawman. They’re making a false claim and expecting you to defend it.
“Not defending it” is not part of the playbook, so they have to just keep repeating the talking points.

It’s because they get ALL of their talking points from fox. Even their counterpoints. For instance, you can say “we want to prosecute everyone”, but if fox says “they don’t want to prosecute the Clintons”, then they’re going to take fox as truth.
If they had the mental or emotional capacity be reasoned with or think for themselves, they wouldn’t be maga

They’re parrots, repeating Fox talking points, and Fox says everyone is defending Clinton even though nobody actually is defending either Bill or Hillary.

>”Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”

You can go over to the conservative sub and see posts about everyone except Trump being mentioned in the Epstein files. They’re not even slightly interested in reality.

I don’t hear anyone defending Clinton. I also have not heard any actual accusations against him either.

Let’s prosecute everyone in the Epstein files in order of how often their names appear in them.

Melinda Gates is the only woman who has done the right thing by divorcing her cheating husband who was associated with a notorious child sex trafficker. Melania and Hillary could both learn a lot from her example.

Funny thing is “in the files” aside, Clinton is the only one that we’ve heard explicitly exonerated. Still fuck him if he’s guilty though.
