A group of deranged Trump supporters in Pennsylvania are going door-to-door to ask people who they voted for in the 2020 election. They claim to be part of an "election integrity committee," but no such thing actually exists. What they are trying to do is intimidate voters, and possibly even worse. Republicans in Pennsylvania are pushing for Arizona-style ballot audits, even though the only case of fraud so far has been a Trump supporter registering his dead relatives to vote for Trump. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

Republican Congressman Andrew Clyde from Georgia was given the opportunity this week to walk back comments he had made months ago comparing the Capitol Rioters to a group of Capitol "tourists." He failed. Not only did he fail to take back those comments, but he actually doubled down on them, even after the moving testimony and body cam footage from Capitol police officers. Republicans are doubling down on their stupidity, and the public needs to hold them accountable for it. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses this.
