On Thursday, the U.S. House January 6 panel presented evidence attempting to place blame on 45th President Donald J. Trump for the incursion of the U.S. Capitol in 2021 following allegations of election fraud that led to Joe Biden Clinching the White House. But hypocrisy was afoot.
The chairman of the January 6 committee, Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS) previously challenged certification of former President George W. Bush’s 2004 electoral win.
According to the Washington Examiner‘s Byron York:
Start with Pelosi’s pick for chairman, Representative Bennie Thompson. On a long-ago January 6 — in 2005, when Congress met to certify President George W. Bush’s victory in the 2004 presidential election — Thompson challenged the certification of the results from Ohio. At the time, some progressive Democrats were promoting wild theories about alleged tampering with electronic voting machines in the state. The House Democrats who voted against certification for Ohio’s results said they were simply protesting the result, and not trying to overturn the election. But the fact is, they focused their challenge on a single state, which just happened to be the decisive state in the 2004 contest. Had they gotten their way, and had Ohio been put in Democrat John Kerry’s column instead of Bush’s, Kerry would have been elected president.
In June 2008, Thompson voted to move forward articles of impeachment against President Bush.
By 2017, Thompson had become a devotee of theories that the Trump presidential campaign colluded with Russia to win the 2016 presidential election. On January 20, 2017, Thompson boycotted Trump’s inauguration because of his concern “about the role that Russia had in our country’s democratic process,” according to a spokesman. Thompson was also angry that Trump had criticized Representative John Lewis after Lewis called Trump an “illegitimate” president.
In December 2017, and again in January 2018, Thompson voted to move forward articles of impeachment against Trump. While he believed more than ever in the collusion theory, the articles Thompson supported proposed to remove Trump from office for different reasons — for his comments on the Charlottesville riot, for his statements on the NFL, and in particular on quarterback/activist Colin Kaepernick, and for his reported description of Haiti, African nations, and El Salvador as “s—holes.” Thompson later also voted in favor of Russia-based impeachment as well.
You can always tell what the Left is up to or has done in the past by what they accuse the Right of doing now.
Nothing but hypocrisy from DIMMs+RINOS. It’s OK for them to object to elections but not for us.
” F J B and his entire administration ! “
Well what do ya know?? How about that??? But of course that does not count as the
guiltless democrats actions don’t get called out. Clean up your own yard before calling
out others!!! Is anyone surprised to learn this??? Its not in Piglosi’s play book!!! What does
she say about this….oh it doesn’t count because demo’s are not held to the same std!!
Don’t we all know that!!!!!!!!!!
But they should be, and according to the looks of this guy, he has worked in government way too long, we need to get all those old relics out and get some new blood in, but preferable NOT those leftwing democrats…
Everybody knows the election was a piece of fraud, created by the Democrat Communist party. Nothing more has to be said, except all of America has been hoodwinked, by Communism and China’s disgusting attribute to the election. Do you really think that stuff made in China, doesn’t have a back door, for them to access the equipment you are a fool.
Dems don’t know anything else but to lie and cheat.
Another lying democrat. Why can’t legislatures be honest
Everyone on that panel is a Trump hater. They just spew out a bunch of garbage with no pushback opinion with the media only too happy to help. Absolutely despicable. How has this been allowed in this country? And Liz Cheney is the worst of all. She can kiss her political career goodbye.
“How has this been allowed in this country?”
One party system.
No one to stop them.
All the Democrats hate Trump because he stands in their way of turning our country into a communist country! Trump better come back soon and turn this BS around.
Rules for thee, not for me!
He’s just an ignorant racist democrat that will always carry the party’s water. Truth be damned.
John Lewis is no doubt roasting in hell! He was a dirty liar and traitor because we the people are the ones who LEGITIMALLY voted President Trump in just like we did in 2020 which was stolen but will be corrected soon!!!!!!
Where there’s smoke, there’s fire. In the case of the 2020 election, funny how the Democrats can’t find any evidence of election tampering??? But in the past, they were all over election tampering. Coincidence? Of course. These ‘rats’ learned how to cheat and they suspect anyone else of doing the same…except in 2020…when they fixed the election knowing full well nothing would happen. Proof in the pudding. Fake Russian conspiracy and they still don’t fess up. From that, they found safety in violation of the 2020 election knowing nobody would investigate.
Democrats are spineless, useless, immoral , low intelligent scum.
I hope it does not come down to a Civil war to save America from the asshole Democrats but we running out of being Mr nice guy
I hope it does not come down to a Civil war to save America from the A-hole Democrats but we running out of being Mr nice guy
Fuck you and your Awaiting for approval
They did mine two days ago. Just got notified that it was approved.
Thompson it would be nice if you stopped trying to hide your disdain for somebody you didn’t like, would come right out and say so ….But no, instead you tried to get Trump impeached on anything, which by the way was NOT impeachable offenses, you are NOTHING but a sorry big joke, who has no place in our government……….
Because of you, your president and the rest of the rest of the government is NOTHING other than a BAD joke………
Just go and investigate him and his family in the SAME manner that he proposes to do to others ! Please stop the “buddy /buddy ” act and don’t let them (congress ) keep covering each others A$$ !
Hypocrisy abounds
It is worse than hypocrisy….they are working so hard for a NWO. People better wake up before the USA becomes another Venezuela and we lose every freedom we now know.
