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.

    When will the people in Congress be held accountable?
    Schiff and the rest of them have all lied to the American people, and therefore on the floor of the house, lied to congress. The fake media reports are only heard by the liberal news outlets that only liberals watch. So frustrating. What recourse do we have? Thanks. Keep up the good work. HH

    I really appreciate this and all of your email content. I feel I can begin here to find truth and to further investigate if needed. It’s refreshing and safe to read! Many times, I also use your scripture photos to flood FaceBook!
    Thank You!

    It makes me sick to think of it but I've heard of a woman being beaten by the Capitol Police almost senseless. She's lucky to be alive. Then they sprayed something on a group and pushed them into a pile and a woman next to the man on the bottom died. This is TREASON! There are more deaths caused by the CP (CCP?) than the one who was shot for no reason. They had to have it look like a real fight had taken place and deaths give them their narrative. This is insanity! When will the dead and injured and also the political prisoners who are being tortured now for almost a year, get JUSTICE! This is a REAL war. WW3. Not conventional kind, but a war nonetheless.

    I am so glad to hear that President Trump reacted to the Capitol insurrection on January 6th much earlier than we were lead to believe.

    If she trust Adam Schiff more than she trust Trump she is in the wrong party.

    Thank you so much Governor Huckabee, for laying out Cheney’s Big Lie in such starkly simple terms. Now it needs to be thrown in the face of the Marxist Congress in such a media tour of force that it will be impossible to keep it from the general public.

    Gov Mike,
    How can they cojur up lies like that when the truth is directly in front if them. Should not they be the ones when exposed, thrown out of these malicious hearings because of their lies.
    I understand their fear of Trump and their cheap and vindictive ways of trying to discredit him so he won't have any chance of taking any kind of leadership role over this country again. But each time they try--they only make themselves look like the butt of a donkey.
    Trump was draining the swamp, and as it was being exposed their stench was becoming more real. If Trump would either become President, or Speaker of the House or hold an office of authority and do the job he started---further exposure of their deceit, fraud, lies, being bought by soros, corrupting our government would be exposed once more.
    Don't they realize, the more they try to dishonor Trump they expose themselves to be the fools they really are?
    BEING THE AGE THAT THESE PEOPLE ARE: Pelosi, Schiff, Schumer, Nadler, Cheney, Sanders, Warner, Biden, Soros (they have someone more powerful over them, that will sit in judgement over their actions and expose all that they have done to the world one day). Do they not realize or fear God by which the unrighteousness they are living. Their day is coming maybe sooner than they realize.

    I enjoy your newsletter everyday, especially your Bible verse. I am so disappointed in Liz Cheney. President Trump’s policies were wonderful for our country but his arrogance was not. I would vote for him again but I know many who would not. I pray for our country every day. Thank you for all you do for conservatives!

    I don't even understand why there is even a conversation going on about this. Much less people still being held in jail or an investigation. I watched the entire thing unfold on tv when it happened. I have saved a video of Capitol Police letting people (insurrectionists) into the building. ??? The lies that come out of our government are so unbelievable to anyone that has eyes and at least one functioning brain cell!

    I believe I remember seeing part of that rally on January 6th televised - Trump told the people there that they needed to be peaceful before leaving from the rally. I remember everyone was quite peaceful, for the most part. When the bad stuff started? I have no clue, but before ALL of this, everything was fine. Then, if you watch the people being ALLOWED INTO THE CAPITAL by capital police, they were quite orderly, for the most part. I think they only got a few radicals and they're fishing for more information, but coming up empty because there isn't anything.
