Where's the story about Navarro and 100 GOP members of Congress,

Involved in the insurrection? Media isn't saying nothing. You'd think planning to illegally overturn an election would be the biggest story, especially the 100 members involved.

And what actually happened - who knows. Navarro say in a video at that link (two weeks ago) that Bannon was the hero. His book -eh? I won't buy it.

And I think this why Liz Cheney isn't playing around when she says that members of Congress were involved and would be questioned:

December 20th of last year
House Republicans meet with Trump to discuss overturning election results
https://www.politico.com/news/2020/12/21/trump-house-overturn-election-449787

“It was a back-and-forth concerning the planning and strategy for January the 6th,” Brooks said in a phone interview.

In addition to the “dozens” of House Republicans who are committed to objecting to the election results, Brooks said there are “multiple” Senate Republicans who are now receptive to the effort, though he declined to name names. Sen.-elect Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.), whom Trump has repeatedly praised on Twitter recently, has said he is considering the idea.

“More and more congressmen and senators are being persuaded that the election was stolen,” Brooks said, who claimed that momentum for the effort is growing.

Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.), however, told reporters Monday that the House GOP’s effort is “going down like a shot dog.”

Other members who were in attendance include some of Trump’s staunchest allies on the Hill, such as Rep. Jody Hice (R-Ga.), Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.) and Rep.-elect Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.).



They thought they were going to get away with it. They truly believed that their Authoritarian Dictatorship Plan was going to work.

It was covered. There was link here to a WaPo story. And, it was on the main page of CNN.
But, it's Navarro. There's at least a 50% chance that this habitual liar made it up and there may be nothing close to 100 involved.

Many of those 147 are just idiots, or cowards living in fear of "the base".
That doesn't mean that Navarro had any influence on those nay votes.
Many of them would have made those votes, out of stupidity, radicalism or fear, if Navarro was on Mars the whole time.
It's Bannon & Navarro we're talking about. Just because they say something doesn't mean it's the truth.
