THE CAPITOL INSURRECTIONISTS: Newly Released January 6 Tapes Expose GOP Congressman's Dark Role

Newly Released January 6 Tapes Expose GOP Congressman’s Dark Role - The New Republic Representative Mike Kelly played a key part in the events of January 6, 2021, according to new tapes.

Former Trump attorney Kenneth Chesebro and a Trump campaign staffer, G. Michael Brown, were caught on camera handing fake elector documents from Washington and Michigan to aides of Republican Representative Mike Kelly of Pennsylvania on January 5.

The video corroborates what Chesebro admitted in a text message on January 6: that he dropped off fake elector documents to Kelly’s aides a day prior.

It’s bad news for Kelly—and even worse news for Chesebro, who is already in trouble in Michigan for his involvement in the fake elector scheme in that state.

I hope President Harris tells Mr. Worthless to take a hike.

Former prosecutor who WILL bring cases to court. He was on the WDFH last night, and I had forgotten he assisted with the nomination and confirmation of Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson.

it's sort of strange living as long as I have and having that one myth of our democracy so clearly revealed as just that a myth, never real.
I say this knowing that it's been on display for decades/centuries with regards to race, class and gender. It was just a matter of time before the rest of our culture's faith in justice was based on a delusional construct of reality.

ETA: I guess we have Eric Garland to thank for forcing us to understand that it is just a myth.

the only MAGA congressperson who was involved in the insurrection and attempted COUP.

147 of them refused to certify PRESIDENT Biden's election by WILL OF THE PEOPLE, and they WILL try again.

They are not patriots, nor do they care about democracy. They and their SCOTUS plants are autocratic strong-arm despots, hell bent on enforcing their own minority will upon the populace.
