You were and are a disgrace. A pencil pusher taking combat credit.

What a joke! How many guns were confiscated? ZERO!!

Man if that would of been a black man……would of been like 18 years

What’s the average sentence for waving a flag at a protest?

Should have gotten 8 years

This man has his finger on the nuclear trigger.

One can see that they'll all get off lightly. The FBI is extremely slow in rounding them all up, and the DOJ is too lenient. There is little justice in America.

Why I left the gop 2 of my 9 grandkids. Someday they’ll ask me about Jan 6th. FinalStraw

Yet a Black Voter in Houstan TX was charged with a crime and could get 20 years, the last Voter on the long line of voters who had a Felony on his record from 25 years ago

A bit of hyperbole there

wow

I would love to see this judge sentencing history

Rep. Gallego, if you call the protest on the capitol to be the closest you have been in combat, then you have never been in combat, which makes you a liar and a coward.

You are my congressman. And I am proud to be represented by you.. I totally agree.. If he were a person of color, he would have gotten 20 years. Black lives Matter.

I thought felonies carried a minimum of 1 year prison time. Terrorism is a felony, right?

Back in the 1800s he would’ve swung from his neck. What happened to my great great great great grandfathers America?

THIS IS BS‼️ BLM BURNED DOWN POLICE PRECINCTS WITH COPS STILL INSIDE AND GOT LESS‼️ YALL THINK THIS IS FUNNY NOW, JUST WAIT. YALL ARE GIVING THE GOVERNMENT OBCENE AMOUNTS OF POWER AND ONE DAY WHEN THEY DONT NEED YOU ANYMORE THEY WILL TURN AND USE THAT FACIST POWER AGAINST YOU‼️

Told you

RubenGallego yessir!!!!

GOP Rep. Malliotakis slams Texas Dems who fled state then tested positive for COVID'Obviously they think this is all fun and games, but the people of Texas elected them for a reason, and that is to show up to work,' the Republican congresswoman told Fox News. And where was you at when Ted Cruz left for Cancun when the power grid failed? Did the people of TX elect you to take away their voting rights? Isn’t it interesting how these klan members never seem to acknowledge their role in trying to act like their klan member grand parents and the democrats had no choice! Never take blame. My goodness these people will never change!

Florida rep. claims Fox News and Ron DeSantis are responsible for state’s COVID surgeDeSantis recently passed a law prohibiting local jurisdictions from imposing new COVID restrictions, and is selling anti-vaccine merchandise, like t-shirts that read “Don’t Fauci My Florida.” California is 1 on the list for cases and deaths so obviously it has nothing to do with the vaccine. What's next? Is he going to rule that communities can't tell their restaurants that they must make employees wash their hands?
