@Jeruba Thanks. I see in your article the Republicans are trying to blame the Democrats for not having enough security. @jaxk brought that up on my other Q. I guess that is a distraction the Republicans are using now.
As much as I have said all along that I thought there should have been more force protecting the Capitol that day, and I personally know Democrats who are glad the breech happened, it’s ridiculous to blame Democrats for the criminal and treasonous activities of these lunatic QAnons, Proud Boys, and Oath Keepers.
I feel the Republicans who have been testifying have had opportunity to defend Trump if they had wanted to. They could have attempted to elaborate while answering questions if they had felt the committee was being very one sided, but they haven’t, because it’s just a fact Trump abused and terrorized them and their families.
The way I think about it is the Republican politicians who are complaining that there should be more Republicans on the committee are actually glad there aren’t Trump sympathetic congressmen on the committee, because then they can say it wasn’t a fair hearing.
Most of the people I know who are criticizing the hearing aren’t watching. They have no knowledge of all the evidence and testimony being brought forward.
