Those of us who watched today's testimony before the Select Committee were impressed not just

by WHAT was said, but also HOW it was said. The genuine emotion and passion of the officers redoubled their testimony's impact. Most of us were stirred---angered, in many cases---by what we saw and heard. We naturally assume that anyone, even many Trumpies, will be similarly affected. BUT,------

---we need to keep in mind that not only will many Trumpies not hear HOW the officers spoke; they won't even hear or read WHAT they actually said. They will hear what some hack on Fox or OAN or some Qanon chat room SAYS they said. Before the hearing even ended, RWNJs on social media were already slandering the officers.

This Select Committee was formed to find the truth about January 6th and truth means nothing to these people.
