What happened. Instead of face the facts. Most, these are republicans were talking about, are trying to pretend none of this really happened or nothing was as it seemed or these were tourists, antifa, or anyone but supporters of the former president , which is what they were. Some, these 21 house republicans, would not even vote to honor the same Police Officers youre about to see putting their lives on the line to protect them. And on the senate side, every single republican voted to block a bipartisan commission to investigate what was, after all, the worst attack on American Democracy By Americans since the civil war. Weve been reporting on that element of the story for months and we will continue to. Well continue to show you the raw video whenever we get access to it because in the End Nothing speaks to the truth of January 6th better than what Police Saw and heard on the ground that day.
