@January6thCmte #January6thHearings @edbott @MacFarlaneNews Like most, I laughed at "Hawlin' Ass" Hawley's run through the Capitol, but it got me thinking. I have wondered, for example, where the traitor leaders were - Rudy, Cohen, Flynn, Stone, Bannon. Why weren't THEY at the

cap, leading the charge, would it have made a difference to the mob, seeing them there? Would it have galvanized them even more? But...
Where was everybody else? I'm talking to you @laurenboebert @RepGosar @RepMoBrooks @replouiegohmert @RepAndyBiggsAZ Of course, we know where

Greene was, she was yucking it up safely in some room, laughing, having a good time.

So where were you all? Why weren't you on the steps of the cap, leading the way, putting your life and limb on the line for YOUR guy, YOUR beliefs, YOUR "freedom"? Why weren't you screaming your f'ing heads off for Pence's head? Cussing and attacking Cap Police?
Not sure anybody

has asked you these questions before, but I'm asking them now. Where were you? Why weren't you leading the charge, leading the rabble for your cause - or was that beneath you, instead you're letting that rabble lose their jobs, families, go on trial, incur the costs,

become hated scum, the faces of a failed, misguided, moron effort that hurt real people, drew real blood. Killed real people.

Where were you? Hiding, running like scared rabbits, laughing it up safe in some office.

You're not only traitors. You're cowards.
