Jan 6th was 'Legitimate Political Discourse' -- This TRASH Republican party! Unfuckingreal.

G.O.P. Declares Jan. 6 Attack ‘Legitimate Political Discourse’

The Republican National Committee voted to censure Representatives Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger for participating in the inquiry into the deadly riot at the Capitol.

https://www.nytimes.com/2022/02/04/us/politics/republicans-jan-6-cheney-censure.html?smid=tw-nytimes&smtyp=cur

We've learned that Trump...
* fully intended to "overturn" the 2020 election
* wanted to seize voting machines
* wants to pardon 1/6 rioters and cop beaters

The Republican National Committee's response? To punish the only two Republicans who think this has no place in their party-- they censored Cheney and Kinzinger.

UNFUCKINGBELIEVABLE.

Or maybe it is all too believable for this party of traitors.

The Republican Party officially wants to kill Democracy.

There is no more to be said.

They must be defeated. Democrats must vote no matter what obstacles these anti-American traitors put in our way.

I think Deadline: White house with Nicolle Wallace will be a must see today.

The big effort now is to re-write history and to continue spreading lies and disinformation.

The blood is in the water after January 6th. There will be an all-out no limits attack on our democracy from this point onward. This is what these thugs have been dreaming of for decades, they now see the light at the end of the tunnel.

“This is what Republicans call ‘legitimate political discourse.’”

He only walked it back when he was afraid of being impeached again. And he was impeached twice.

Why hasn’t he been ostracized by the BananaReTHUG party and M$Greedia?
