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.

    I love the wonderful manner you have in expressing the (for lack of a better term) B.S. going on these days. I think you are wonderfully eloquent!

    Thank you for doing your best to “ unravel” the events of Jan. 6. I personally watched the events that day. To blame our president for all that occurred is ludicrous. I am hoping those in “ jail” will soon be released and those responsible for treating the innocent ones, will be punished.
    Thank you again. Our election was stolen by the democrats. Justice will come about someday.

    Sir;
    You'd think that these "idiots" would have learned that Trump hasn't/didn't and won't do anything that goes against 1) the Constitution, 2) is against the laws set forth in this nation..... but than again they apparently still have no brain cells that work. Thanks to you and your staff for a gret informative year and hope it'll continue into next year.

    This J6 committee is just another group making up lies because they hate President Trump. Months go by and still pushing their agenda. Not one bit unexpected! Sad though because there are political prisoners sitting with no help in jail because of this huge lie! When will there be relief for them? Get them out and stop letting these hateful democrats get away with their lies!!

    I, actually, remember when a portion of the Democratic Party was reasonably sane and held to some moral conscience. (Senator Manchin would be a good example).
    Liz Chaney is an example of a hard-left liberal who disguised herself as a conservative to get into Office.
    Everything we’re experiencing suggests that The imminent Rapture of the Church is at hand.

    Hello Governor
    My question is with all this outrageous kangaroo courts actions and the assault by the democrats on our freedom's by attacking a previous
    administration 's!!! Where are the Republican's? This so called panel is without validation and yet we stand and allow it. We need to take action and nip it in the bud!!!

    By their lies and distortions in pursuance of a dubious agenda, ye shall know the evil tyrant. The name Chaney rings like an alarm bell sounding out a warning as that of a siren to an ancient mariner. Theirs is to manipulate the political process for pecuniary advantage with a sales patter that preys upon the vulnerabilities of ostensibly good Chritian people. Yet sociopaths have no need for us past the ballot box. They have no concept of the value of human life, nor any true wish to alleviate human suffering by honest toil of their hands for which they are paid handsomely. They use their offices to amass wealth, and it is time for an entirely new generation of politician who only want to serve, and to make their country a far better place. Be gone all those who put themselves first. The country has no need of you.

    As pointed out by Candace Owens during her interview of President Trump, we have lost the moral high ground to Putin and Xi because of our treatment of the January 6 prisoners. That may be even worse than the Biden Administration's debacle in Afghanistan.

    I am appalled that Adam Schiff has not been barred from Practicing law by now. He has lied to Congress and the media so much that his nose is longer than
    Pinocchio’s.

    Hello Mike
    My wife and I just love you and your shows, so tell us how can these lying Democrats keep getting by with this and have the power to hold other good people accountable. Something (ain’t) right.
    Can’t someone help?
