Want to understand the current house dynamics and how we got to this point? Check out my book Renegade… you’ll get a nice and easy behind the scenes history lesson, and more!
My fellow Republicans… you really want this as a role model for your kids? Do you really think the next generation will want to be part of this? I don’t
I couldn’t imagine looking at myself in the mirror if i was
@mattgaetz
or
@laurenboebert
. Smugly sat on their hands while history was made and a real hero addressed us. Imagine caring more about performance art than actual human lives.
After seeing what we have presented (with more to come) on the
@January6thCmte
, i want to say again to my fellow Republicans, it never too late to tell the truth. Redemption is always possible.
I want to take a moment to thank the many hard working staff of the
@January6thCmte
. These men and women put in countless hours at great cost to help make history. Thank you to each and every one.
Now that we have seen evidence of mass graves in Ukraine, and pictures of the atrocities against civilians, We should demand
@TuckerCarlson
answer for his support of this war, as well as those Congressmen who have done the same.
@GOPLeader
should demand accountability
Had I known that standing up for the truth would cost me my job, friendships, and even my personal security, I would without hesitation, do it all over again.
Watch live my last speech as a Congressman on the House floor ->
I want to be clear, we will investigate the security posture on January 6. But blaming the security for the violence on that day is like blaming an assault victim because of what she was wearing.
Whatever your politics, whatever you think about the outcome of the election, we as Americans must all agree on this; Donald Trump's conduct on Jan. 6 was a supreme violation of his oath of office & a complete dereliction of his duty to our nation. It is a stain on our history.
Only in DC will a party sink a bill they support like.burn pits because dems passed a bill they also support (CHIPS).
Pass the burn pit bill. Not just because I’m a burn pit vet but because for Gods sake, it’s right to do.
1) When your friends say this committee isn’t fair, maybe remind them that those testifying are all republicans, appointed by trump. That Kevin McCarthy got a fair deal in a split commission, but then took his ball and went home. When the committee was then formed…
I feel the need to say, the threats I’ve gotten don’t scare me. They make me more determined.
I can’t imagine wishing execution on a 5 month old. I wouldn’t even wish that on Bin Ladens kid.
Evil thrives in darkness. Let’s bring it to the light.
@COUNTRY_F1RST
@GOPLeader
After the shooting in Vegas, I came out for raising the age of gun purchase, banning high capacity mags and bump stocks, universal background checks, and red flag laws. As a result the NRA turned on me.
Best decision I made. They don’t want sanity, they want to raise $$
The fact that the supply chain bill is falling victim to partisan politics should outrage every American. Mitch McConnell would rather deny the Democrats a win than take on China. This is absolutely sick.
The unsung hero of the Jan 6 committee, is
@GOPLeader
Kevin McCarthy, who pulled his choices to obstruct the investigation allowing for a smooth bipartisan investigation and presentation to America. Thanks Kevin!
I’m waiting for the police briefing, but i want to be clear: when you convince people that politicians are rigging elections, drink babies blood, etc, you will get violence. This must be rejected.
This is why the Jan 6th committee is so important.
Honestly
@tedcruz
is a gigantic fraud. And always has been. He once debated me, against military action in Syria (i supported… the red line thing). Then a year later is attacking Obama for not enforcing the red line. He is an utter fraud charlatan clown.
Yesterday’s January 6 hearing, was overrepresentative of one party. Only Republicans testified to almost only Republican questions from almost only Republican congressmen.
It was an honor to tour the United States Merchant Marine Academy in Kings Point today. In Congress, I look forward to working alongside them to fully utilize this amazing resource we have in our own backyard in
#NY03
.
You are absolutely evil Marj. Literally evil
I really wish i could say even worse to you.
You wouldn’t know honor, sacrifice, or especially COMMITTMENT if it crossfitted with you.
It is heartbreaking to see these disabled Ukrainian soldiers here in the halls of Congress being used as pawns to pressure our Congress to give American’s hard earned tax dollars to Zelensky.
I’m calling for an audit of funds to Ukraine and to fund and secure our border.
Trump lost the election FYI. Side note this speech is boring. We can’t win the presidency with this boring, low energy, stream of conscience, weak, has been, choke artist. Just my .02
Let me say again. 21 to drink, 21 to smoke, 21 to buy a pistol. LETS RAISE THE AGE to buy any gun.
Buffalo, Texas, Parkland, Sandy Hook, all under 21. Raise the age
Today, I voted for the omnibus spending bill to fund our military, help defend freedom in
#Ukraine
, and ensure crucial projects and research continue. This bill was not perfect, but Democracy requires compromise, not outrage theater.
Here is the letter. Addressed to my wife, sent to my home, threatening the life of my family. The Darkness is spreading courtesy of cowardly leaders fearful of truth. Is the what you want
@GOP
? Pastors?
You have to be 21 to buy a pistol in this country. Can we all at least agree we should raise the age to 21 for ARs as well? Shouldn’t everyone have a background check? I think so. These are 90 percent issues, do it now and keep debating the rest.
Never thought the following statement would be controversial but: “I support the American President over the Russian President.” Watching the gleeful fanboy’ing of Putin to “own the libs” by some in the media and in my party is shameful. Id pick America over ratings any day.
To those begging for a military coup: you will be shocked when the military arrests you under the “and domestic” part of the oath. Your fantasy will be ended quickly.
Tucker Carlson invited me on his show tonight, but that’s not going to happen…ever. While he echoes Putin’s lies, I’ll remain focused on supporting the Ukrainian people. My video statement:
Worth remembering: Josh Hawley was the first senator to say he would object to the electoral college, causing a cascade of Ted Cruz-es. There would not have been as much oxygen to trumps coup plan without Fistpump McRunpants.
Starting Friday morning I will be on military duty for a few days and will not be commenting further during that. Afterwards I will have some Followup thoughts on defending our country from lies, and profit driven con artists. America deserves better
Lying about your entire life to gain election to office for 700,000 people is desperate, sick, and worthy of an immediate resignation. There is absolutely no excuse, and there is no comparison to anyone in modern history.
@Santos4Congress
don’t just “RESIGN-ISH”, RESIGN NOW.
Thread (and admission): 1) I want to be honest, in congress I have only a few votes that in hindset, I regret. My biggest regret was voting against the first impeachment of Donald Trump.
A former President threatened “death and destruction” while posting a picture of himself with a bat, next to a government official who is investigating him.
This is not normal, not ok, and there is NO excuse for any Republican to take a pass on commenting.
@SpeakerMcCarthy
Evidently the Starlink system is down over the front lines of Ukraine.
@elonmusk
should make a statement about this, or, this should be investigated. This is a national security issue
No former President should ever ask an evil man like Putin for a favor… like Trump did just yesterday. This is absolutely undermining the national security of this country and should be disqualifying for any re-election.
@GOPLeader
must address this, as must every Republican
It was an honor to serve, and
@Liz_Cheney
truly embodies a strong and forthright patriot.
Robert A. George: Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger put patriotism over politics – Twin Cities
I just want to say to close out this evening:
@CawthornforNC
does not belong in Congress, and is an embarrassment not just to his district, but to the country. Vote this clown out, America we can do better than these disasterous leaders.
Watching the desperation of Trump world to discredit the brave Cassidy Hutchinson reminds me of…. Everything trump does when he is busted and cornered.
I have seen some on the right who’ve never served a day in their life- attack these officers for their courage, or see their tears as weakness. There is more strength in these men than all our politicians combined.
Watching todays witnesses, I’m reminded what honorable people look like. The first three reminded me of the GOP I joined. Shaye Moss and her mother, I mean…. America at its best.
@GOPLeader
probably feels ashamed today.
Now that the video is out of the Russian jet hitting the MQ-9, let’s remember that Russia said it never happened like you are seeing with your very own eyes.
Remember this every time
@TuckerCarlson
and
@TulsiGabbard
parrot Russian talking points. They lie
Last night,
@TuckerCarlson
and
@seanhannity
were in the air for two hours…. Without commercial. Why without commercial you ask?
During commercials people change the channel. And would stumble on the hearing, and the truth
You are absolutely the biggest piece of human garbage that can possibly exist right now. I literally think you are done now
Using this tragedy for your BS lies is sick
There is a video I won’t retweet where two
#Ukrainian
soldiers are killed after being clearly confused about who was holding a gun on them.
#Russians
are wearing Ukrainian uniforms for the attack. This is a war crime.
I mean seriously, if anyone is going to say “commander and chief” it’s her. She literally has no idea it’s commander in chief and I’m zero percent surprised.
I tell you what pumpkin.
How about you suit up and report to your commander and chief yourself and tell him your reporting for duty.
You might want to train a little first, the only thing in shape on you and prepared for war is your little Twitter thumbs.
@BillKristol
I get it, the knee jerk reaction is to love or hate
@POTUS
speech based on your politics.
Without a doubt, Biden absolutely crushed the GOP “dumb yellers” masterfully. Every President will try to recreate and fail.
But I mourn the loss of decorum by GOP
So let me understand, Gosar’s creepy anime of murder and such is ok, but John Katko is the sinner for… negotiating and voting for infrastructure? The
@GOPLeader
has once again abdicated his leadership to the insane asylum.
“He could have overturned the election.” This is an admission, and a massively un-American statement. It is time for every Republican leader to pick a side… Trump or the Constitution, there is no middle on defending our nation anymore.
The man too cowardly to run for re-election talks tough on Twitter when it's other peoples' children and family members who will die. Can we count on you, Adam, to lead a platoon of Ukrainians on the front lines in time for spring fighting season?
A party with leaders like Kevin McCarthy, that cannot stand up to the insanity from people like Greene, Gaetz, Gosar, etc, is going to have a hard time standing up to countries like China.
@GOPLeader
My concern with Twitter has really nothing to do with the $8 per month. It’s that on day 2, Elon shared a conspiracy theory, and then joked about it after deleting. I was open minded until that moment. This will become truth social… a crazy echo chamber.
