rodriguez attacking officer michael fanone with a stun gun. i believe i think he was tasing at one point officer fanone in his neck. it is a simple question. this does not look like legitimate political discourse to me. i know it certainly does not to you. and yet the republicans here are trying to be ambiguous about it. yeah. and they want to be able to finesse this and avoid it and this has made it that much harder. mike pence s comments make it harder. this catastrophic blunder by the rnc makes it more difficult. look, this is a series. there s been a cascading series of blunders from the republicans on january 6. you know, their refusal to stand up against the big lie. their refusal after january 6 to hold donald trump accountable. their decision to block a nonpartisan commission to investigate january 6th. kevin mccarthy s decision to pull republicans off the
