Andy Biggs Complicit in US Capitol Incursion
“The head of the House Freedom Caucus, Republican Rep. Andy Biggs of Arizona, helped plan the January 6 event that culminated in a storming of the Capitol, according to Ali Alexander, a lead organizer of the gathering. Alexander, a pro-Trump personality, was an early founder of the “Stop the Steal” movement, and helped bring together various right-wing factions around a mass event on January 6, aimed to coincide with objections to the counting of Electoral College votes. Alexander made his claim in three separate livestreams in late December, adding that Reps. Paul Gosar of Arizona and Mo Brooks of Alabama were also involved. “We’re the four guys who came up with a January 6 event,” Alexander said.”

The Shame of Josh Hawley – “…blood on his hands…”
The “Sin”ator from Missouri
“The names of Cruz and Hawley should go down in history next to people like Benedict Arnold and Donald Trump,” Gallego said during an interview with MSNBC on January 6, 2020. “They are just traitors to the country and traitors to the Constitution.”

Can you image what would have happened if this was a BLM (Black Lives Matter) incursion? The Trump “cult” is handled with “kid gloves”.
