    Conservative efforts to downplay the events of Jan. 6, 2021, and allege the political “weaponization” of the government seem to ratchet up with each passing week.


    But rarely have they reached such a fever pitch, at least at the official level, as they did Wednesday with Rep. Victoria Spartz (R-Ind.).


    During a House Judiciary Committee hearing featuring Attorney General Merrick Garland, Spartz both suggested that the scene at the Capitol on Jan. 6 was actually something of an innocent family affair and also seemed to compare the U.S. government to the Soviet KGB.

    “There probably were some people that came on January 6th here, you know, that had bad intent,” Spartz allowed. “But a lot of good Americans from my district came here because they are sick and tired of this government not serving them. They came with strollers and the kids, and there was [a] chaotic situation because the proper security wasn’t provided.”

    It wasn’t initially clear whether Spartz was talking about the rally on the Ellipse that preceded the Jan. 6 insurrection or the crowd near the Capitol whose participants ultimately violently forced their way in. But it was soon evident she was referring to the latter.


    “They were throwing smoke bombs into the crowd with strollers with kids,” she said. “People showed up, you know, FBI agents, to people’s houses. You had, in my district, in my town, FBI phone numbers all over the district. … People are truly afraid.”


    There do not appear to be many publicly available images of small children and strollers in the most contested areas near the Capitol on Jan. 6. Nor have many Republicans previously raised this as a complaint.

    A Wall Street Journal timeline states that smoke and tear gas were wafting through the crowd as of 1:13 p.m. By that point, scuffles between law enforcement and angry protesters had broken out…….

    But Spartz didn’t stop there. She also broke ground over related GOP claims about the supposed “weaponization” of the government. She referenced the report by special counsel John Durham, which reflected poorly on the FBI but largely failed to live up to the Republican hype about what it would lay bare regarding those who had investigated Trump’s ties to Russia.

    “I look at [the] Durham report and the … [Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act] violations,” Spartz said. Spartz’s comments weren’t entirely clear, but ultimately the congresswoman, who was born in what was then the Soviet republic of Ukraine, added, “It’s like KGB.”…….

    This is just part of the R party's efforts to whitewash and rewrite what happened on 1/6. The political parties have a long history of doing that, and the R party has been doing the lion's share of it in recent years.
     
    This is National Enquirer level stupidity. Next thing you know these people will be trying to convince the MAGAs that Sidney Powell is birthing an alien baby.

     
    This guy - the comments said he is hiding out in the UAE. He was romantically linked with Butina, the Russian spy. He’s another crazy billionaire. 🤦‍♀️

     
    I really, really wish the RWNJ weren’t sitting US congresspeople and/or billionaires.

     
    Far-right Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) confused her Jewish holy days on Sunday, prompting ridicule and criticism on social media.

    Election fraud conspiracy theorist and pillow salesman Mike Lindell says that his company has been “crippled” after his credit line was cut from $1m to $100,000 by American Express.

    The founder of MyPillow said his company’s credit had been cut last week “out of the blue” after 15 years of carrying out online marketing and shipping through the financial services organisation.

    Mr Lindell was previously forced to auction off more than 800 items, including personal possessions and equipment from his MyPillow factories, after retailers cut ties with him.

    Companies including Bed, Bath, and Beyond; Kohl’s; QVC; JCPenny; and Wayfair have also reportedly refused to stock his pillows because of his insistence that the 2020 election was stolen.

    Speaking on Steve Bannon’s War Roompodcast, Mr Lindell announced what he called American Express’s “disgusting” decision to cut his credit and urged the public to “help”.……..
