all the loved ones of those who died in the Deadly Attack on the Capitol Building by the Traitor's cult.

It really put the terror experienced by those who experienced the Capitol attack into perspective. Jackie Speier has experienced very real threats to her life before, but what happened on the 6th brought it all back.

I agreed that Jackie Speier's experiences on the 6th was something we all need to hear. I'm hoping that they show excerpts on the news as they often do.

We have a lot of de programming to do, if we’re even capable.

Jackie Speier needs to be called as a witness in the Senate impeachment trial. Her description and views are bone-chilling validation of our greatest fears and feelings about what happened, why, and could happen again if we don’t squelch it — the GOP/Trump cult — now.
