Especially when they are okay with shooting and running over protestors.

That talking about these things is fantastic red meat for the base, but at some point you actually have to have hearings and with nothing to support your position you make a fool of yourself.

But. Have at it guys if you want to.

When McCarthy said it before, it was more of an "oops I said that out loud" thing.

Now they talk about their cheating tactics openly.

And without consequences, that will not change for the better.

Had she not gone down the conspiracy theory wormhole on social media like so many of the deluded have, she would still be alive today. Actually if there were an investigation, it would reveal this.

I would guess MTG is stupid enough to let us know she helped someone with Babbitt. She climbed through a broken window on government property and was told to get back. That's how one gets shot.

The Party of Law and Order and Stand your Ground is supportive of a woman pressing into the Capitol through a window when repeatedly told not to.

Perhaps she should should have Turnip resurrect Babbit. It should be child's play.

is a...questionable strategy. Maybe good for the immediate ambitions of MAGA Greene and others. But what about the Republican Party?

FUGAR MAGAs are the only RW voters who don't want to forget any of this happened and aren't trying to pull back from their nihilistic-level extremism.

AND the primaries are over. Pushing MAGA extremism has already won them all the primaries it could AND lost them significantly more.

TWO MORE YEARS! TWO MORE YEARS!

We are expected to believe that ...

1) The Jan. 6 riot was Nancy Pelosi's fault for failing provide adequate defense of the Capitol.
2) Nancy Pelosi is responsible for Ashlii Babbit's death at the hands of a Capitol defender.

Which is it? The defense was inadequate, or the defense was overzealous?

Of course they could argue that an adequate defense would have kept the rioters from even entering the building, but if that had been the case they would now be hollering about a police state suppressing protest.

Everyone else, with even a passing IQ sees through her bullshit. Unfortunately she has fans and a completely red district that allow her to spew her garbage.

Her career will end badly. She has too much ambition and not enough ethics, morals, or intelligence to keep herself out of trouble.
