(5,340 posts)9. In Bennie Thompson's opening remarks he quoted one insurrectionist as saying,
We didnt come here for violence, we just came here to overthrow the government.

Never thought Id say this about Liz Cheney, but was good to hear and see her sincerity.
The contrast in awareness between the insurrectionists words and Rep Cheneys is something to behold, and I wont suffer any fools who dismiss the purpose or need for these hearings.
