I’ll guarantee if the insurrectionists had been successful in stopping the vote he’d have bragged out loud to FOX, OAN, Newsmax and any Qpublican listening about how HE WAS THERE! and he would have at least tried to take credit for much of what happened.

Thought Huntington Beach (OC) had come to their senses in 2018 when they got rid of this guy. But, no, another R was elected in 2020.

Funny thing about that. He later intimated that he would have marched with them but the SS said it couldn’t guarantee his safety. But why would he need protection from his adoring throng? Because in addition to being a sex god, they presumably feared he’d be mobbed like a Beatle, a specter all idols risk.

Ex-Rep. Rorhabacher Was Part Of Crowd Outside Capitol Building During Attack

Like a dog returning to the scene of his upchuck, this silly asshole has to remind us that he remains unarrested and unjailed.

Since Rorhabacher has more than a passing familiarity with Russian leaders, Russia once being the hotbed of Marxism&“Lenism”, may be we should pay close attention to this assertion.

Leave it to the most pro-Russian/Putin congressman ever to serve to accuse the other side of being communists.

The old fool is just confused. The cognitive dissonance must cause deafening feedback inside his head.

Funny how they ALL deny having entered the Capitol.

And it’s nice to know that Putin had an agent there.

Pre 9/11 Rohrabacher was a big Taliban supporter. He’s like a wack a mole of courting folks who are enemies of our country and democracy.

This is a blatant ongoing attempt at a coup. It’s pretty clear.
And unless there are negative consequences, it won’t stop.

“But I was not there to make a scene and do things that were unacceptable for anyone to do.”

What, like rioting and attempting to overthrow the US government?

One of the many things I don’t miss about Orange County. On the positive side, Katie Porter would now be our Rep.

From the Article:

[“I marched to protest, and I thought the election was fraudulent and it should be investigated, and I wanted to express that and be supportive of that demand,” Rohrabacher told the Portland, Maine Press Herald. “But I was not there to make a scene and do things that were unacceptable for anyone to do.”]

Emphasis added…

Always the bullshit excuse…But the excuse is not seen by the Trump Base as being exculpatory…rather, it is a middle finger to everyone from the Cult. Because the purpose is the same as Jake Blues missing his wedding and Epstein’s Mother’s "excuse".

Heightening the contradictions is Soviet Propaganda 101, but it works because the contradictions are already present. Putin is just exacerbating our preexisting condition. QAnon didn’t come from Moscow.

IDing little shits like Rohrabacher is interesting. The main people, though, are probably distributed in protected cells with deniability. They’re the ones I want to know about.

Orange County used to elect some wack jobs like B-1 Bob Dornan and William Dannemeyer who wanted to quarantine HIV AIDS patients.
