Listening to these Republicans try to take the moral high ground is the height of hypocrisy.

Anyway, the GOP is the party of Trump, most Republican House members are bummed out that Nancy Pelosi and AOC weren't assassinated on live tv, and they're looking forward to issuing subpoenas for Hunter Biden's most recent colonoscopy exam if they retake the House in 2022.
I hope the FBI and DOJ have the stomach to do what needs to be done.

There are reports that GOP reps gave tours to "Stop the Steal"  rioters in the days leading up to the violent insurrection.
Tours of the Capitol have been banned since mid-March 2020.

They must have lost their bearings. A policeman diverted them from the conference floor, he turned them right in the wrong direction.

Renaissance. Thank the lord for autocorrect.
This is where FBI and DOJ need to do their jobs and not let politics get in the way when expanding investigations.

Their phony equivalencies are torturous.

So the House is stacked with Republicans who voted to overturn the election and now voted not to impeach after an insurrection.

Money will bring the culprit to justice.
There's a $5,000 reward for info on the fool who carved 'Trump' on a Florida manatee's back

Turned out it wasn’t carved, it was written in the algae on its back. Still it’s a federal and Florida state crime to molest a manatee, so hopefully they find whatever knuckle dragger did it and they get the large fine and jail time that comes with it. |

From my article above.

Rep. Val Demings tells CNN that she believes "there was some inside assistance" for the Capitol rioters. |
Demings is a well-respected former police chief who watches her words carefully, so she probably heard/saw some concrete evidence.

20 is the outside number we’ve heard about in the senate. House gop much more vulnerable to the base since the reason they are elected easily (gerrymandered districts) is the reason they are also hostages.
