DEFENDERS: House Dems rail against GOP's Jan 6th lies during heated hearings

Truth is anathema to the Republicans, which is why it matters now literally more than ever as the GOP is attempting to whitewash American history and rewrite it to make them look better.

The Republicans are literally hellbent on wasting the next two years with their performative political propaganda disguised as “hearings,” so House Democrats have been doing all they can to minimalize the potential collateral damage.

With “Weaker Speaker” Kevin McCarthy releasing the January 6th security footage to Tucker Carlson so his staff of editing monkeys could cut it up to make the “MAGA Good Parts” version, Democrats are using their time on the House floor and on Committees to loudly and passionately preserve the real truth of what we all witnessed live.

Rep. Stacey Plaskett deserves all the props for just sitting next to Jim Jordan without fully going off on him as he rightfully deserves

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), who was both a Trump impeachment manager as well as a member of the January 6th House Select Committee, took to the House floor on Wednesday to drag the GOP members of the House Oversight Committee who were also there on January 6th and know all too damn well what happened.

Jamie Raskin undergoing treatment for cancer is still a bajillion times the patriot that any member of the Trumpocrite Trash on the other side of the aisle claims to be.

“We saw them come and descend upon this chamber, this Congress, wounding and injuring 150 of our police officers, breaking people’s noses, breaking people’s fingers, putting people in the hospital,” Raskin railed at the Republicans. “And already they’re back on the news with [the] big lie, saying, ‘No, no, no, it was a tourist visit.'”

Meanwhile, Rep. Stacey Plaskett (D-VI) brought all kinds of fire to a hearing on Thursday regarding free speech on social media, including Twitter.

The ranking Democratic member of the GOP’s ridiculous new “Select Committee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government” (hardest eyeroll ever) brought all kinds of fire to her opening remarks, which were just a little too truthful for the Terrible Trumpocrites.

Of course, as soon as a Black woman was freely speaking about free speech, mediocre white MAGA men tried to silence her.

Check out this supercut of why Democrats make me proud every single day…

…because this is the Qidiocy we’re up against.
