Pro-Trump GOPers facing major roadblock to their plan to push back at Jan 6th hearings

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

According to a report from CNN, close congressional allies of Donald Trump are making plans, at his urging, to push back at the televised House hearings on the Jan 6th insurrection hoping to distract viewers from expected revelations about the former president's complicity in the attack on the Capitol building.

However, as the report points out, that may be easier said than done.

CNN is reporting that Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) is heading up the diversionary antics, with Trump communicating "to some of his most loyal acolytes on Capitol Hill that the former President wants people vigorously defending him and pushing back."

Among those expected to take part in the counterprogramming are Reps. Jim Jordan (R-OH) and Jim Banks (R-IN), each of whom have been asked by the bipartisan committee to appear and answer questions.

13. Stefanik

has a brain.

She's using it for evil, unfortunately.

It's hard to believe she was being touted as the future of the GOP and a true bipartisan only four or five years ago.

Now she's all in with the MAGA weirdos.
