But there wasn’t an “insurrection”

They should ADD the SCOTUSblog scotusreporter as a terrorist threat

The extremist SPLC, not law enforcement, is doing this? So very reassuring.

If the committee didn’t have credibility issues before letting the SPLC join in, it will now.

Aren't you all embarrassed yet? Trump is going to live in your heads for the next 100 years. You finally control all 3 branches of government and waste it on your obsession with Trump while neglecting the nation and driving it's economy into the ground. Bravo Dems. Bravo.

I guess if the committee keeps searching they will soon find evidence of something. The SPLC labels hate groups that don't fit the definition. They had problems & I believe fired their founder. When will committee investigate riots that tore apart cities?

SPLC Does the FBI count as an extremist group?

😂🤣😂🤣🤣😂😂 lefty extremist group identifies all non-lefty extremist groups as right wing extremist groups…

The SPLC is a hate group

LockHimUp

who funds the splc and what are their motivations?

Translation: Anyone who supports Trump will be labeled a domestic terror threat

Spare us. The group that labeled Dr. Ben Carson a terrorist. They can go scratch just like the fraud committee.

Rethink your life. Please.

Now it's a complete clown show.

Hutchinson's testimony raises fresh questions about Secret Service's handling of Jan. 6Cassidy Hutchinson's testimony before the Jan. 6 committee raises new questions about the Secret Service's planning ahead of the Capitol attack and its actions on Jan. 6. Well well well. Cassidy lied. The committee has coached her for a year in what to say and now a new conspiracy accusation against the secret service. She didn’t just come out of the woodwork the committee has been coaching her for months. How about the US Capital Police’s planning? Please! Why is ABC trying to bash the Secret Service...? “Both Bobby Engel, the lead agent, and the presidential limousine/SUV driver are prepared to testify under oath that neither man was assaulted and that Mr. Trump never lunged for the steering wheel”

About half of Americans think Donald Trump should be charged for Jan. 6: pollPredictably, views on Donald Trump's criminal liability break down along party lines. KTVU 2 is Fox so of course they pretend this is about normal political disagreements between 2 normal parties. It’s not. Republicans are not a party they’re a cult. The cult relishes Trump’s lawlessness while Democrats and other sane people are horrified.
