Another fabricated January 6 claim unravels:

Another day, another fabricated Democrat claim about the “Great Insurrection” unravels in public like a cheap suit.

Rep. Liz Cheney claimed that once the violence in the Capitol started, President Trump waited 187 minutes, or over three hours, before saying anything about it. She railed that he “refused to act when action by our president was required, indeed essential, and compelled by his oath to our Constitution.” She called this long delay a “supreme dereliction of duty.”

There’s also another, more accurate, term for it: “fictitious.”

The Federalist compared the timeline of the Capitol violence to the timestamps on Trump’s tweets. The first building was breached around 2:13 to 2:15 p.m. At 2:38 p.m., Trump tweeted, “Please support our Capitol Police and Law Enforcement. They are truly on the side of our Country. Stay peaceful!”

About 30 minutes later, he tweeted, “I am asking for everyone at the U.S. Capitol to remain peaceful. No violence! Remember, WE are the Party of Law & Order — respect the Law and our great men and women in Blue. Thank you!”

At 4:17, he posted a video urging the rioters to go home, which Twitter promptly suppressed because “TRUUUUUUMP!!!”

Cheney’s office did not respond to the Federalist's inquiries about where she got that 187-minute figure. I’m guessing it came from Adam Schiff, who got it off his Rotten Apple watch.

    Liz Cheney is a traitor to the Republican party, conservatism and our constitution (freedom of speech). I'm so so disappointed in her. We Wyomingnites must vote her our of office. Robin Lightner

    Way past time for Cheney, Pelosi, Schiff, and their ilk to be held accountable legally. Their list of false accusations against President Trump rival that of the Romans speaking falsely of God’s people, Christ’s church. Bearing false witness is one action God hates, Proverbs 6: 16-19. Pretty much describes today’s left, doesn’t it? Nothing new under the sun, for certain.

    Christmas Eve— 2021– Nanty Glo—Pennsylvania— St.Mary’s Church Service recorded and sent out for anyone who could not attend the service on Facebook—DENIED by Facebook due to the music—SILENT NIGHT— playing in the background from a cd. Seriously?? The entire service is silent due to Facebook censorship of a song that is broadcast on everything from toys to loudspeakers from church steeples to shopping malls and anything, anywhere else you can imagine on Christmas Eve. But try to bring a Christian Christmas service from a church and use Facebook to get His Word out and you get proof that the Grinch has found a job! Maybe now more people will drop Fakebook and quit giving them a platform to act like the moral police when they feel people should not try to be religious in Christ.

    How long are they going to keep getting away with the lying and cheating? Several people have been treated horribly and yet the democrats seem to skate on through life with no repercussions. It’s very sad and disheartening.

    Why is Liz still in the Republican Party? She is as far left as any Demoncrat! She even makes RINOs look conservative!

    I agree and November 2022 can’t come fast enough time to oust all democrats and restore this country back to We the People.

    I just wonder how these people would act and speak if they themselves were in President Donald Trump shoes? The Democrats all seem to speak with fork-et tongs and they are sopose to be smart college educated people. President Trump has done so much for me and other Americans and I could make a list and it would be a long one of all that he as done, even with all the c--p that has been thrown at him that is so untrue. The only way a Democrat is going to win any election, is if they cheat and stuff the ballets and throw away the votes for the Republicans running. I do look for them to try to do it again and I would like to be a judge at the voting polls. I will even have my ball bat with me.

    Liz Cheney and Adam Schiff and the rest of the democrats that are in office or were in office at that time should be tried for treason! Which would require them to be removed from office permanently. Including the Democrat Senators who are supporting this Farce. Schumer. Blumenthal, Booker, Feinstein, Hirono and a few others. Oh, and let's not forget the Socialist Bernie Sanders. Wait that will never happen because our Traitor in chief and his DOJ won't let it.

    How do they keep getting away with this? Isn't anyone interested in the truth? I don't see how Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger can live with themselves.
