1. I was hoping it was huckabee or

kelly ann, they'd play hell telling the truth.

3. Same for McEnema.

10. The oath would have to be administered to them by a firefighter instead of a baliff.

15. Sarah Honey Boo Boo was long gone by then.

KayLIEgh McInaney was the Press Secretary for the last year or so, with a brief period where the job was filled by Stephanie Grisham, who never gave a press conference. Kellyanne Conjob was never Trump's press secretary. She was his campaign manager, and later a "senior consultant." But, yeah. All of them are compulsive liars, with the possible exception of Grisham, who has been singing on her own for the past year.

2. This is a second appearance for Matthews.

She appeared before the Committee in February.

Reflecting on the one-year anniversary of the attack, Matthews said that Trump “failed to meet the moment” and labeled the attack as a “coup attempt.”

“Make no mistake, the events on the 6th were a coup attempt, a term we’d use had they happened in any other country, and former President Trump failed to meet the moment,” Matthews wrote in a thread on Twitter last month. “While it might be easier to ignore or whitewash the events of that day for political expediency — if we’re going to be morally consistent — we need to acknowledge these hard truths.”

6. In every other country where a coup fails . . .

. . . the leaders either:
1. Are executed, sometimes on the spot; or,
2. Go to jail for a long time; or,
3. Go into exile.


I'm fine with either 1, 2, or 3 for Trump and his band of coup plotters . . . except for Roger Stone and Steve Bannon for whom it's #1 as far as I'm concerned.

8. I'd take #1 or#2 for them.

Exile just isn't harsh enough, IMO.

[Lonestarblue]

11. I vote for #1 for all of them. Time to take the trash out.

[GoCubsGo]

16. It's another Republican clone.

The all look the same, right down to the high-necked A-line dress. I'm surprised there's no gold cross dangling around her neck.

4. Let the young women speak truth to power.

And in doing so, may the forces of evil be tamed.

[Evolve Dammit]

5. Her tenure must have been brief? Don't recall her.

[Totally Tunsie]

7. The OP headline has an error. Matthews was DEPUTY Press Sec.,

and they're not as "out in front" as Press Secretary.

[BumRushDaShow]

12. She was the last one in when a few pressers started up again

after Huckleberry abandoned ship.

[Evolve Dammit]

13. thanks BRDS!

[BumRushDaShow]

17. She was one of those "behind the scenes" spokeswomen

at the end of the revolving door of Press Secretaries - e.g., worked with Kayleigh McEnany (similar to how Karine Jean-Pierre worked with Jen Psaki).

[Evolve Dammit]

18. ah "coffee girl" with "axe to grind"

[BumRushDaShow]

19. ...

[H2O Man]

9. Recommended.

She has been supporting Ms. Hutchinson since the last hearing. I'm looking forward to hearing what she has to say.

[GoCubsGo]

14. She's only a deputy press secretary.

The actual press secretary was that compulsive liar, Kayleigh McEnaney. The J6 will probably not waste their time with her, because she has shown, time and time again, that she's incapable of telling the truth. Hence, they have to go to the deputy.
