Jan. 6 committee plans to "humiliate" dismissive Republicans who "cowered" during attack: report

[Ohio Joe]

The January 6 committee plans to "humiliate" Republican lawmakers who "cowered" during the Capitol riot but have since downplayed the attack, according to Rolling Stone.

The committee's prime-time hearing Thursday will focus in part on the actions of Republicans that boosted former President Donald Trump's Big Lie and sought to block the certification of election results, two sources familiar with the panel's planning told the outlet.

"They have plans to paint a really striking picture of how some of Trump's greatest enablers of his coup plot were — no matter what they're saying today — quaking in their boots and doing everything shy of crying out for their moms," one source said. "If any of [these lawmakers] were capable of shame, they would be humiliated."

1. Which ones went out to greet the 'peaceful tourists'?

[Zambero]

3. The ones who were barricading the door with furniture?

and advising the women to stand back, lest any harm come their way? Perhaps the one getting slapped by Liz?

2. Is that the messaging that they want to run with?

The fucking job is to identify collaborators in the conspiracy to overthrow the government. Instead, we lean into what the Republicans are saying.

[tableturner]

5. YES...this will collapse their phony arguments about the "benign" riot!

Identifying collaborators IS important, but this is too, and both can be achieved. It is very important to obliterate the GOP garbage about a normal day with "tourists". They have a menu of planned objectives, and all of them can be, have been, and will be, accomplished. Walking and chewing gum...

6. But when you are using subpoenas to expose people for saying dumb shit....

But not illegal or breaking the law, that is going to look like an abuse of power.

[Ohio Joe]

7. Good thing that is not what is happening then...

No subpoena needed for this one segment of the hearing. It's also not just people saying dumb shit... It's people who promoted the big lie and tried to block certification of the election, being shown to be cowards.

I'm fine with it.

8. Abuse of power? Good for the goose.....

[scarletlib]

4. I say bring it on.

Show them for the disgusting hypocrites and cringing cowards they are. Nothing better than public humiliation. (The Pilgrims might have been right about that)

[Alexander Of Assyria]

11. I also! Although the headline is a twisted distortion of the quote. Unreal how media does that!

[William769]

9. "I am sooooo looking forward to tonights hearing"

Me too!

[calimary]

10. Me three!
