'Disturbing:' Lofgren hits MTG for plan to visit jailed Jan. 6 defendants - All In - MSNBC



Rep. Zoe Lofgren: “I do think the adherence to the mob is disturbing. My colleague Ms. Greene should know that the majority of the Jan. 6 defendants in the D.C. jail have been charged with or convicted of violent assaults on Capitol police. That’s not something we should be celebrating. It’s really disgraceful.” - Aired on 03/23/2023.

Is dead because that is what trump wanted. Literally red meat for the uneducated, easily manipulated racists amongst us.

Another day closer to a Republican debt ceiling disaster and treasonous bastards in congress are visiting and “comforting” treasonous bastards in jail. Ya gotta be Woke to state those facts.

None exist in the gop.

I don’t know the answer to your question My Dear, But a 30 year jail sentence for sedition might give them to time to think about the WHY of their actions.

Hundreds of those who followed his instructions and stormed the Capitol on January 6th have been identified, charged, tried, convicted and jailed - while their "leader" who called them there still walks free, and is now calling for more violence?? Shouldn't he have been the first to be tried, convicted and jailed?? I blame the Republicans who voted in his favor after both impeachments. If only he had been removed after the first one, this country would not be facing the precarious divisions that we're facing today.

Other countries really don't get it, how the choice of the people does not result in that candidate being elected.

Sharing wisdom like why shouldn’t residents of Wyoming have the same number of senators as residents of California? States rights which Jim Jordan agrees with when he doesn’t agree with.

How the state of North Dakota has a smaller population than one large city in California, yet the number of electors representing them is not proportionally allocated. Eliminating the Electoral College needs to be a priority before another national election. The Electoral College is the only reason we ended up with TFG rather than my former senator.
