👉Two-thirds of the Republicans assigned to the impeachment inquiry attended 2 or less of the 11 hearings whose depositions have been made public. Here they are:

👉13 Rs assigned to the impeachment inquiry—all invited to attend the hearings—stormed a highly secure room to protest the closed door hearings they were invited to attend.

👉10 of these same Rs attended 2 or fewer.

👉2 failed to attend ANY (@RepGosar & @RepMarkGreen).

5/

👉ZERO Republicans assigned to the impeachment inquiry attended every hearing. They were invited to all of them.

Remember this tomorrow when you hear Republicans bring up "closed door" or "secret" hearings.
