The hearing earlier this week in the House on the reasons for the national guard delays

in deploying help accomplished very little, because unfortunately the Democrats did NOT push back against the republican lies and rewriting of history, and what happened. At least I didn't see it.

What I saw was the House Democrats holding with the purpose of the hearing, which was to get answers for why the National Guard took so long to respond. The republicans on the other hand ignored the entire purpose of the hearing, and took that opportunity to lie about the entire attack against our Capital.

At least from my perspective, I was quite disappointed that the House Democrats did NOT call out those lies.

This is not reassuring in the least, that the supposed "bipartisan" hearing in Congress on the January 6th insurrection, will amount to much more than what happened last Wednesday

People are going to remember those who lied. Not everyone, but enough people will remember to defeat at least some of them.

They will be counted. They may not speak out, but they will be counted.

lost the election", recognize that.

It isn't good enough not to speak out, and just assume the populous gets it.

This suppossed bipartisan hearing in Congress on the January 6th insurrection is not going to go anywhere unless those LIES are called out.
