The left is more adept at repeating snippets and leading the the mob by the nose via said tactic. The right uses other methods, but we'll leave that alone for now to keep things on track.

Sorry, had to stop there. Had a hard time breathing because of how funny this was. This tactic pretty much describes what the modern day GOP does, day in and day out, and their followers latch onto it. Hell, the discussion about the voter registration EO is based on them doing exactly that and riling up the base. Trump and the media that supports him use this as their bread and butter and the MAGA crowds scarf it up and regurgitate it. Half the threads posted in this forum are based on that (and by one individual). The house has been especially guilty of this in the past two years, which is why there is zero reason to believe they are making the request in good faith and every reason to not pass it off to them.
