Yesterday, the Oversight 1/6 Committee had hearings last night.
After a year of investigating the January 6 assault on the U.S. Capitol, the House Select Committee will hold public hearings to shine a light on the attempt to subvert U.S. democracy and to draw the line of responsibility directly to the White House https://t.co/HK6URrGHVB pic.twitter.com/VSfCLfWv4n

Jesus lordโฆCheney says testimony of Trumpโs own staff will show that when they told him attackers were chanting to hang Mike Pence, he said, โMaybe they have the right idea. He deserves it.โ #January6thCommitteeHearings #BlackTwitter

I'm not impressed, but I do appreciate the fact that she seems to have found moral certitude here.
I'm keeping my eye on her, though.

1:48 minutes in and one thing is abundantly clear to me and I say this with no exaggeration or hyperbole.
@GOPLeader Kevin McCarthy is a singular and epic disgrace. He is a coward and cynic without peer. There are no words

โTrump gave no order to deploy the National Guard that day, and made no effort to work with the Department of Justice to coordinate and deploy law enforcement assets," Rep. Liz Cheney said of Jan. 6, 2021. "โBut Mike Pence did each of those things.โ https://t.co/JXIN6cJmX7

As I've said before, Trump set up Mike Pence to be killed by the mob. The committee has proven that. #January6thCommitteeHearings

Letโs be clear: January 6th was a test run.
We must all pay attention to @January6thCmteโs findings to ensure the next attempt to thwart our democracy does not succeed.

Chairman Thompson: "We have obtained substantial evidence showing that the President's December 19th tweet, calling his followers to D.C. on January 6th, energized individuals from the Proud Boys and other extremist groups."

Tucker is talking over everything. Fox viewers probably didn't even notice when the committee showed Ivanka's testimony. Her image on Fox was about 1/26th the size it was on the other channels, and there was no audio of her. https://t.co/jIw1MfRewc

Like I said I will acknowledge Liz Cheney & Adam Kinzinger meeting this moment & will keep it moving. They still roll & vote with the GOP & they remain a threat to our rights. Thatโs a fact.

I just wanna know which members of The Insurrectionist Party tried to get pardons for January 6th. I bet they have some spectacular takes on tonight's proceedings.

Literally bragging about the size of his crowds.
The part to ponder is that he remains a hero to a significant percentage of Americans.

Iโm just trying to imagine the response if these were Black people. I mean, they (law enforcement) didnโt even put their hands on their weapons. Did not touch it. #January6thCommitteeHearings

To all the folks saying โnobody cares about Jan. 6, they just care about inflation,โ the inflation rate in 1974 was upwards of 11% – nearly double over the year before. Yet somehow people were able to worry about that and hold the president accountable at the same time.

We cannot know whether Trump will be held accountable. But if we give up completely, we know for sure that he wonโt.
