Biggs Demands McCarthy To Oust Both GOPers On Jan. 6 Panel After It Requests His Phone Records | Talking Points Memo

House Freedom Caucus chair Andy Biggs (R-AZ) on Wednesday demanded that Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) boot Reps. Liz Cheney (R-WY) and Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) — the two Republicans serving on the Democratic-led Jan. 6 committee — from the GOP conference, following the panel’s reported inclusion of Biggs in its request for telecommunications companies to preserve the phone records of Republican lawmakers.

Sounds like Biggs has got something to fear. Republicans are terrified of exposure. Expose them.

Biggs is right: the libertarian-owned GOP can’t trust Cheney & Kinzinger because libertarians don’t own those two outright.

But soon, all Republicans will be Koch Republicans.

something to fear?

lots of familiar names,
but a phrase I’d like to learn more about:

“…potentially remove Republican Members from the House…”

Republicans are running scared and it’s a beautiful sight to see…

I’m not quite clear how Qevin could “boot” Kinzinger and Cheney from a committee that isn’t his. But then again, Biggs seems rather unclear on the concept of reality.

Biggs accused Cheney and Kinzinger of being “two spies for the Democrats” that participate in the GOP conference’s meetings “despite our inability to trust them.”

Biggs also wrote: “We cannot trust these Members to sit in our Republican Conference meetings while we plan our defense against the Democrats.”

I find it interesting that Biggs can’t trust two Republicans known for, if anything, their integrity and forthrightness. What does he want to talk about, that he feels he can’t while those two are around?

Speaking of stupid…

No, let’s not encourage people to get the free and effective vaccine! Or even suggest the proven antibody treatment if they still contract covid. Nope, Not RonJohn.

“Unfortunately, because of the dereliction of duty of our federal health agencies and too many in the medical community ignoring early treatment, some Americans have resorted to obtaining veterinary ivermectin out of desperation,” Johnson said. “The solution lies in developing and offering early treatment of Covid, not in slandering and defaming those of us who strongly advocate for this common sense approach to saving lives.”

From Wikipedia: Schadenfreude has been detected in children as young as 24 months and may be an important social emotion establishing “inequity aversion”. Yep, sounds right. This applies to Irasdad’s imagery as well.
