White House aide's testimony shows police 'were sent to be potentially slaughtered' because of Trump

Rep. Ruben Gallego says a White House aide's testimony shows police 'were sent to be potentially slaughtered' because of Trump

Democratic Rep. Ruben Gallego said Tuesday that US Capitol Police officers "were sent to be potentially slaughtered" on January 6, 2021, after a former White House staffer testified that then-President Donald Trump knew that protesters were armed and that there wasn't enough security at the Capitol.

"If it wasn't because of this brave 25-year-old woman, we wouldn't even know what was happening," the Arizona lawmaker told reporters at the surprise hearing by the House select committee investigating January 6, referring to Cassidy Hutchinson. "This is a very sad moment in our country right now."

Well, of course he's correct. And Hutchinson's testimony will make a big difference in the suit that the officers have filed against TFG.

Snip…

Got his plants on the committee, we would never have known much any of this. His (and GQP) plan all along. Ole Kev needs a little obstruction of Justice or even aiding and abetting charges dropped on his traitorous lying ass. And this traitor is in GQP leader ship, expecting to become 3rd in line to President after November, and may well be with all the criminal voting suppression.
This shit hole party is more like a black hole sucking the life out of America. And as we hurl toward shit hole country status, we will suck the life out of any hope for ever seeing Democracy again.
Ironically the white genetic superior shit stains will lose all their rights by the “Back” Hole suction.
And if by then they realize that, even their votes will be useless to correct anything. Putin Perfection in governing.

a young bright incredibly capable and competent young woman do her patriotic duty as an American citizen. telling the whole truth in spite of death threats from DJT'S "base".

She's earned a LIFETIME of Secret Service* protection for being an almost solitary voice in the TFG White House brave enough to speak the whole truth UNDER OATH.

Her High School must still offer a CIVICS CLASS!

it is brave, and necessary.

On the whole, though, she is likely to be a piece of shit person - she's worked for some of the biggest GOP garbage people out there. But we can definitely praise her bravery and testimony in this case.

they love the fetus but not the born.

They love the blue until they don't.

They are for voting rights but only for their own.

Gerrymandering to keep control over freedoms.

Freedom is only a privilege for the ones with tons of money.

Women purpose in life is a baby machine and rape/incest part of that outcome.

et al.

be placed squarely onto this monster. He was the perpetrator, the mastermind behind this coup attempt by murderous thugs.
The Con egged them on, ordered his police to remove magnetometers knowing the goons who were there to do his bidding were out for blood.
