on january 6th and a hitman sent them. i t to get to the bottom of that. it s not about politics at all. best performance in an action role the winner is michael. too many telling me hell doesn t exist or that hell actually wasn t that bad. the indifference shown to my colleagues is disgraceful. laura: congressman jim banks of indiana was blocked by speaker pelosi from the january 6th committee. previously defended the violent and deadly george floyd rights in kenosha. is in that part of the double standard you and your colleagues are trying to get at? he also attacked you a year ago on twitter, later deleted his tweet.
are now telling me that hell doesn t exist. or that hell actually wasn t that bad. the indifference shown to my colleagues is disgraceful. telling the truth shouldn t be hard. fighting on january 6th, that was hard. showing up january 7th. that was hard. the 8th, the 9th, the 10th, all the way to today, that was hard. when the fence came down, that was hard. we lost a layer of protection that we had, and the fence came down, and still nothing has changed. everything is different but nothing has changed. liz cheney, and adam kinzinger are being lauded as courageous heroes, and while i agree with that notion, why?
