And another — remember this was a 4th of July speech in upstate NY in 1852.
The investigation includes one thing I hadn’t seen before — footage of the QAnon-shirted rioter Doug Jensen instructing the Capitol Police who stood in his way to “go arrest the Vice President.”
You shot your shot and missed, My Pillow guy. It’s over. Go home.
“Mr. President, the pillow maker man is here with a document about replacing the national security advisor and the CIA Director and also imposing martial law.”
