143. I have one question. Are Cheney and Kinzinger helping the credibility of the committee over.....

Jul 2022

.... the short run, or are they hindering the hearings?

I, for one, see them both as an asset to the J6 committee. With no republicans on the committee, it would have NO credibility at all.

MSM would report it with the same both sides do it attitude.

Imagine if it were any of the following Gym Jordan, Matt Gaetz, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Boebert, and Cawthron on the committee.

When you are drowning in a sea of lies and corruption, don't shun the hand that reaches out to help.

None of those mentioned above people will ever get my vote, but in this case, Cheney and Kinzinger get a thank you for doing your part to expose the cultists.



Thanks for posting this. I watched "the show" and was absolutely appalled. . . . h2ebits Jul 2022 #1
