It’s now obvious why NPR’s CEO didn’t show up to defend her taxpayer-funded network at a congressional hearing last year.

On Wednesday, National Public Radio’s Katherine Maher testified before the House Subcommittee on Delivering on Government Efficiency and demonstrated why sometimes it’s better to plead the Fifth.

If you watch nothing else from the hearing, this clip demonstrates everything you need to know about NPR’s leadership. In just two minutes Rep. Brandon Gill, R-Texas, exposed NPR’s CEO as a phony, dishonest ideologue who has no business running a taxpayer-funded media network.

Just watch, you’ll enjoy.

What, defund the police? I don’t recall that. That’s a Republican idea! Tear down statues of Abraham Lincoln and George Washington? No way, tearing down statues and erasing the past is a relic of 20th-century totalitarians. Who would do such a thing?

Maher spent years virtue signaling woke platitudes and now apparently wants to pretend that didn’t happen. She’s also said before taking the gig at NPR that the First Amendment is a huge barrier to combating “disinformation and misinformation.” That’s quite a take from someone now running a government-funded media company. 

When asked why there was not a single registered Republican on the 87-membr NPR editorial board, Maher had no answers but insisted they were committed to unbiased reporting.
