Trump and the five Pinocchios - who was the Congresswoman?

[lanlady]

I overheard the comment but wasn't in front of the screen. Whoever it was, hats off to her! I heard people laughing. And we know how much Trump hates to be laughed at!

5. Jackie Speier

She was shot five times in the Jonestown incident and played dead for hours before rescue.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jackie_Speier#Jonestown_shooting

Several Peoples Temple members ambushed the investigative team and others boarding the plane to leave Jonestown on November 18. Five people died, including Congressman Ryan. While trying to shield herself from rifle and shotgun fire behind small airplane wheels with other team members, Speier was shot five times and waited 22 hours before help arrived.[11] That same day, over 900 remaining members of the Peoples Temple died in Jonestown and Georgetown in a mass murder-suicide.

7. I can't imagine it

11. 22 HOURS on a tarmac on foreign soil w/5 bullet holes in you, you kidding me?

And IIRC she was in view of a number of the 5 dead bodies of her co-workers as well. Maybe even Ryan himself, I forget offhand.

I mean FUCKIN-A ... that's hairball. Not sure I'd have made it w/o major psych damage, or worse.

10. Thanks for the link

I don't know much about her, but what an incredible story she has.

23. Loved how she handed Devin Nunes his blackened, smoldering ass...

When he very stupidly (as usual) referred to the impeachment hearings as "cult-like".

She... um... "educated" him.

16. thanks for posting!

She did a great job.

12. I marveled how fast and smoothly she delivered that smack down

For what it's worth, I've been following Jackie Speier, for, like, forever, and truly expected her to become Governor of California. It just wasn't in the cards, so she set her sight on a US congressional seat.

15. It was a line for the ages

I'm glad she's on our side!

14. Sounds like a doo-wop group.

Donnie and the Pinocchios
Randy Rainbow needs to work on this.

Thanks!
