Jared Moskowitz Pounces On GOP For Stewart Rhodes' Attendance At Hearing

[gfarber]

6. Stewart Rhodes

There once was a hearing quite new,
Where the GOP claimed “Nothing’s true.”
They cried, “Total sham!”
As they waved off the slam
Of a mob that the whole world once knew.

Rep. Moskowitz looked down the row,
And spotted a face he’d know.
A conspirator tried,
For sedition, implied—
“In the first row? Well that’s quite the show.”

Said Jared, with eyebrow arched high,
“You don’t meet folks like this by and by.
Thirty years since the last
Was convicted so fast—
Yet here sits one, front row, oh my.”

Mr. Rhodes, once an Oath Keeper chief,
Had shed prison time by executive relief.
He said, “Not invited!”
The chairman replied it
Was chance—though that strains disbelief.

Republicans called Jan. Sixth a play,
Said the cops “put on quite a display.”
Bloody halls, broken doors,
Were just theater, not wars—
At least that’s what some chose to say.

Moskowitz wondered aloud with a grin,
“What’s the handshake? What clubhouse are we in?
Is it treehouse or fort? included who’s not?
And are girls allowed membership in?”

So the panel rolled on, oddly cast,
With the future revising the past.
While the facts took a seat
Somewhere back from the heat,
And the front row was held by the past.
