Capitol Police send GOP a bombshell letter demanding Jan. 6 Commission to hold criminals responsible


Even Officials!

Capitol Police officers issue a letter on their official letterhead saying that they have a "profound disappointment" with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) for opposing the Jan. 6 Commission.

Citing the "physical trauma" and "mental anguish," the letter also acted as if the Republicans were using their opposition to the Commission to cover for GOP members.

"Blue lives matter" only when they take out Black lives. Otherwise, screw them, right Mitch and Kev?

gives us that much more of chance to save our democracy. We need to support them, praise them, and simply thank them for carrying about what really happened. Our futures depend on 2 paths; reality and what's made up. We need to support anyone who calls for reality.

Guessing these police may not be very fond of Major Trailer QQueen. Maybe they will look away while AOC kicks her ignorant ass.
