Oh they lost their minds long before January 6!
Trump broke them.
For the love of God, stop calling this anything other than an inquisition.
“It really amazes me how many people out there have such a resentment against Trump that it causes them to lose their mind. We’ve known for a long time that liberals have a mental illness, but I really expected more of these so-called conservatives to have some integrity. The allure of DC popularity must be very strong.”
Back during the primaries I supported Ted Cruz. I didnt hate Trump whatsoever, but I didnt take Trumps candidacy very seriously. For all I knew, he was running for president for his ego and personal publicity purposes.
I was also a member of a Ted Cruz supporters Facebook group. The level of hatred of Trump amongst Republicans and my fellow conservatives was just incredible, off the charts.
Any article that was Anti-Trump was posted and automatically believed. It didn’t matter the source of the article. Liberal sources they would have normally dismissed on any other issue. CNN, MSNBC, NY Times, Washington Post, NY Daily News, Los Angeles Times, CBS, ABC, NBC, etc, etc. One guy even posted an anti-trump article whose source was literally the official propaganda arm of the government of North Korea!!!
Even though I wasn’t a Trump supporter (yet), I did my best in defending Trump, pointing out the lies, and chastising my fellow conservatives for falling for such lies and using sources of the usual suspects in the liberal media. I pointed out that they were opposed to Trump as the republican candidate, fine. You want to criticize Trump? Ok. Just please attack Trump with the truth and using more reliable sources than the liberal media.
I was eventually kicked out of the Ted Cruz group. Not for attacking Cruz. Not for pushing for Trump as a candidate. But only for coming to the defense of Trump against all the lies.
I gave up on the National Review when Bill Buckley died.
Who reads it still?
Some years ago National Review began trashing Christians and mocking biblical creation doctrine. I became a Christian and then a conservative precisely because of creation apologetics. Books by conservative authors explained to me how creation doctrine is foundational to conservatism. Without it there is fundamentally nothing left for conservatism to “conserve;” while individual conservatives may not accept creation doctrine, it means they are without a foundation and that puts them in a constant position of sliding down the slippery slope of liberalism. And sure enough, National Review has been sliding ever since I noticed them turn on our foundations.
Completely untrue.
Those minds were lost long ago, long before the committee was even formed..
You beat me to it!!!

“The allure of DC popularity must be very strong.”
I’m sure the same thing was occurring to lots of us.
Losing their minds?
You can’t lose what you never had.
If they had minds they would be MAGA people.
It’s all theater fiction. They have a script and they follow it like the bad actors they are.
So Liz Chaney says she believes Cassie. Apparently this proves Trump is guilty.
Pointless interview. Jonathan Karl couldn't be bothered interviewing the Secret Service agents who were with Trump.
