Who are these "innocent" people that the Committee has been harassing and persecuting?

[kentuck]

That is the argument that Marco Rubio was making on one of the Sunday talk shows.

But, who are these people being "harassed"? The only people being punished are the ones that committed the most grievous crimes on January 6th. Some people think many of them are getting off too lightly.

January 6th was not an event that is easily forgotten or "normalized". It was an attempt to overturn an election and put the loser into the White House with an elaborate conspiracy. To pretend otherwise is simply to stick your head even further into the sand.

It is so hard to keep up with the lies and excuses from some of these Republicans.

1. My response to people ...

... who make these allegations is always the same:

Okay, name them.

[kentuck]

3. Exactly!

It seems like the logical question to ask.

[XacerbatedDem]

18. Aren't they the ones who are all taking the 5th. Sounds like nothing to hide to me...

NOT

[Walleye]

2. If they were smart they would cut their losses. But that would be over half of the party

[kentuck]

4. They are defining their Party for decades to come.

In my opinion.

It is not a decision they will be able to walk away from and begin anew. It is a scarlet letter.

[Walleye]

5. Do you think maybe some of them are starting to realize that?

The scarlet letter is a big red R

[kentuck]

6. Maybe so?

The latest polls would indicate that to be the case.

[Walleye]

7. Hope springs eternal

[PatSeg]

23. If people like Rubio were smart

they would just keep their mouths shut and hope none of the stench rubs off on them. But they just can't help themselves. They have to go on the Sunday shows and say things they will later have to clarify or deny. They just keep digging that hole deeper and deeper.

[Walleye]

24. Yep. They just can't help themselves. Shows the low intelligence levels

[PatSeg]

25. And any intelligence they may have is

diminished by their insatiable need for power. It is like an addiction. On some level, Marco still sees himself as President some day.

[Walleye]

26. True most senators think they're going to be president.GOP also addicted to hatred and anger

[exboyfil]

8. Definitely the guy who crapped in the Senate chambers was innocent

I mean that is what passes for reasoned political discourse with the GOP today.

[Ferrets are Cool]

13. Vert cogent point.

[Tommymac]

17. This guy was maligned too.

After all, he was just picking up a souvenir.

[louis-t]

22. He bought it at the gift shop, I hear.

[blueinredohio]

9. The problem is no one pushes back

when they start spouting that shit!

[Stinky The Clown]

19. DING DING DING DING

We have a winner, girls and boys!!!!!

[The Wizard]

10. Rubio appeals to the poorly educated and weirdos.

Let's get behind Val Demmings and kick the twerp Rubio into permanent retirement.

[bucolic_frolic]

11. Little Marco needs acute psychiatric care. He lies to himself and covers it up with Bible quotes.

He's like a demented homeless man wandering the streets.

[jaxexpat]

14. Lil' Marco is the pice de rsistance of the Cuban American experience.

Perhaps now, on the heels of such a towering achievement in the art of procreation, those political foils, I mean, people may finally re-align their energies, looking forward instead of perpetually cursing the loss of what they left, going on seventy years ago.

After all, the American Negro was so absolutely assimilated by that stage in their "freedom" after hundreds of "short" years in ludicrously brutal slavery. Because, like so many "true" Americans are wont to say, "They should just get move on."

Dear reader, is it more or more ? I can hardly tell any more. The mirror so foggy.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

21. They have to lie to themselves to maintain the facade. . . . nt

[Chainfire]

12. Jesus, Marco, if some of them got their proper rewards, they would be busting rocks in Leavenworth

for the rest of their natural lives. (or worse) These folks were Fascist rebels, out to destroy our Democracy. The leaders should, at least, be stripped of their citizenship and deported as insurrectionists. The rank and file, that entered the White House, should be looking at long prison sentences.

Of course, Rubio can see no wrong with the prosecutions because he is one of them.

[Ford_Prefect]

15. This exploitation by Rubio and others is an example of how hard the Dark Money Influences

which trust Trump and his ilk upon us and now maintains their legacy, are working to continue the insurrection and prepare for the next outrage.

[Bettie]

16. As far as Marco is concerned

EVERYONE They are talking to. Because Marco is a soulless little weasel who says whatever he's told to say.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

20. Who? The J6 "political prisoners" held in DC fed jail in supposedly "inhuman" conditions. . nt
