Full Headline: Former Trump White House aide who met with January 6 panel attacks witnesses, lawmakers in profane and sexist rant


A former Trump White House aide who met with the January 6 committee earlier this week went on a profane and sexist rant on a livestream after his testimony, where he railed against the lawmakers and attacked other witnesses, according to audio posted to his Telegram.

[snip]

In the 27-minute livestream, Ziegler used vulgar and misogynistic language to attack Cassidy Hutchinson and Alyssa Farah Griffin, two women who worked for the Trump White House but have since publicly broken from the former President and cooperated with the January 6 panel.

He also accused the January 6 House select committee of being "anti-White," without any evidence. (The nine-member panel is led by Rep. Bennie Thompson, a Mississippi Democrat, who is Black.)

"They're Bolsheviks," Ziegler said in the stream, referring to the far-left communists who led the Soviet Union, "so, they probably do hate the American founders and most White people in general. This is a Bolshevistic anti-White campaign. If you can't see that, your eyes are freaking closed. And so, they see me as a young Christian who they can try to basically scare, right?"

Didn't the little super genius figure out that if celibacy till marriage is the perfect state of grace, by necessity he would remain an incel no matter how priveleged he enjoys being?

That is the ideal way you control birth without contraception outside holy matrimony........instead of the historical norm of "hos and thots" and abandoning the "not me."

Martyrdom is such hard work.

Christian’s who don’t know or practice a single thing Jesus preached about, (for free). Those that ride on the robe tail as a political prop to get power. Have no problem with believers that go out of their way to do as he asked about how to treat everyone and worshipping fake leaders and “Golden” anything. Not hate, guns or killing in his name. That’s what these fools like him and MTG worship. All white, like God, nothing else. “Wernt no damn Collerds on the Arch”. They are as fake and nasty as the powdered potatoes and powdered milk after 3 weeks at sea on my beloved Guided Missile Destroyer, DDG 18.

I DESPISE those fake "XTIANS" who use the moniker as what I call a marketing ploy for the gullibly ignorant, bigoted, cult members & it's even more sickening to watch what I LAUGHINGLY refer as "evangelists & cesspools AKA megachurches". I haven't attended a church on the regular since 1082, whch is saying something considering the fact that I was the musical director. I was taught that God doesn't need a building made by human hands & is NOT impressed by flowery speech, designer duds, economic status, skin color nor fancy buildings, that Sabbath is not just Sunday but everyday. These types sicken me.

What's hilarious is they believe that somehow Christianity is Scandinavian, you, blonde & blue eyed but realise that NO major WORLDWIDE religion as EVER come out of Europe, (UNLESS one doesn't count Wicca, etc), that JESUS WAS A PRACTISING JEW, that He represented EVERYTHING they loathe, including the FACT that when he was an infant, was what we would an UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANT when his STEPFATHER was warned that Herod had nefarious plans for all male infants to 2 years old & that Joseph needed to pack Mary, the baby & leg it to Egypt for until papa Joe was given the all clear.
I actually shut up many a "Christofacist" when they've vomited racist nonsense when I told said that because everyone that aren't white are lesser when I ask them God made a mistake, that they're better that people like me, (mixed AfricanAmerican woman). are somehow under them; that if they believe in God, are they prepard to tell GOD that He made a mistake? {{{{Deer In The Headlights}}}}

The Jan. 6 Committee Met with the Guy Who Facilitated the Oval Office Crackpot Summit
The former aide to Peter Navarro had a hand in the Dominion voting machine and Hunter Biden laptop conspiracies.

By Charles P. Pierce
PUBLISHED: Jul 19, 2022

...

Back in March, a report in the Guardian fingered Ziegler as one of the people behind the bizarre confabulations regarding Dominion's voting machines, a series of hallucinations central to what has come to be known as The Big Lie.

After the Dominion report became public, Navarro incorporated the claims into his own three-part report, produced with assistance from his aides at the White House, including Miller and another policy aide, Garrett Ziegler, the source said. Ziegler has also said on a rightwing podcast that he and others in Navarro's office – seemingly referring to Trump White House aides Christopher Abbott and Hannah Robertson – started working on Navarro's report about two weeks before the 2020 election took place. "Two weeks before the election, we were doing those reports hoping that we would pepper the swing states with those," Ziegler said of the three-part Navarro report in an appearance last July on The Professor’s Record with David K Clements.


According to Politico, Ziegler also has been deeply involved in keeping the Hunter Biden laptop story aloft.

Ziegler has taken a different approach with a copy of the laptop he says he obtained through RUDY GULIANI and his long-time associate BERNARD KERIK in the winter of 2020, when they were passing around copies to many far-right operatives. Rather than supplying copies to media outlets, starting in May, Ziegler uploaded on his group's website more than 120,000 emails and other documents from the hard drive. The documents are often watermarked with the name of his group, The Marco Polo Project. Some of these materials have subsequently been cited by the Daily Mail. Ziegler took the same tack with a journal he claims was written by Hunter's sister ASHLEY BIDEN, which he transcribed and published online last October… "I think it's one of the greatest stories of the 21st century so far, probably in the top 10," Ziegler said of the laptop.
