Speaker Pelosi made an extraordinary move and appointed a general to preside over a ‘9/11-style’ commission to purportedly ‘get to the bottom’ of the January 6th Capitol riots. The bold action came as Pelosi was facing heat over her knowledge and decisions about the Capitol riots’ planning prior to the attack on the Congress.
The general that Pelosi has hand-picked for her mission to point the finger at Donald Trump for the planned attack is Lt. General Russel Honoré. It now appears that Honoré is a partisan appointment, as he not only had blasted Missouri Senator Josh Hawley for objecting to 2020 election results, but littered severe anti-Trump posts along a now-deleted Twitter timeline. The evidence comes in the form of screenshots of now-deleted Twitter posts.
“That little peace of shit with his @Yale law degree should be run out of DC and Disbarred ASAP,” Lt. General Russel Honoré said about Hawley on Twitter on January 11.
Speaker Pelosi chose retired Gen. Russel Honore to review Capitol security in wake of January 6 riot. After some newly-discovered deleted tweets, including this one aimed at Sen. Hawley, Republicans say Honore seems a bit partisan… From @KCStar https://t.co/xf72mr9KAy pic.twitter.com/N9HonqmEL6

Becker News has unearthed even more tweets that point to the general’s extreme partisanship.
(Note: Honoré’s timeline appears to be deleted before December 28, 2020. The following tweets are from November.)
The general told then-President Trump to “stop the bull shit.”
He retweeted a tweet condemning the former president’s legal and constitution election contestation as “an attempt to cling to power” that is “likely to do lasting harm to democracy.”
He retweeted extreme left director Rob Reiner’s anti-Trump tweet:
As well as caricatures of Donald Trump:
One interesting non-deleted tweet is one of the late Rush Limbaugh. It is merely an out-of-context quote: “So, Trump is just throwing gasoline on a fire here. And he’s having fun watching the flames.”

The Kansas City Star reported on the general’s deleted social media post about Hawley and pointed out his background.
“Honoré is best known for leading the military’s response to Hurricane Katrina in 2005,” the Star reported. “Pelosi touted him as ‘a respected leader with experience dealing with crises’ when she announced his selection last month.”
“General Honoré is an extreme partisan and should be the LAST person to head up an investigation of what happened at the Capitol on Jan 6th,” said Sen. Ron Johnson.
Pelosi spokesman Drew Hammill downplayed the clear signs of partisanship in a statement: “General Honoré is committed public servant whose name is synonymous with integrity and professionalism,
“His efforts to review the U.S. Capitol’s security infrastructure, interagency processes and procedures, and command and control have included seeking bipartisan input in order to achieve its mission,” Hammill added. “There is no room for partisanship in the Speaker’s efforts to make the U.S. Capitol a safe place for staff, workers, press and Members.”
It that were the case, Honoré never would have been appointed. A truly independent bi-cameral investigation should be appointed and not a witch hunt to re-litigate the failed impeachment effort presided over by a hand-picked partisan.
What else would you expect from a Mafia Princess?......................
A minority commission with comparable credentials is in order.
Honoré was the guy that kept telling the press that they were “stuck on stupid” during the Hurricane Katrina crisis. He seemed like a level headed guy. Turns out he’s just another perfumed military prince with a penchant for destroying liberty.
Is anyone here surprised?
Polisi has found her Rohm?
I’ve seen his stuff over the years. He’s had complete TDS for years and would post viciously anti-Trump stuff that his TDS suffering audience would cheer along.
A lot of Louisiana folks drank the kool-aid on him because they think talking tough is good leadership by itself.
Pelosi is evil. Her soul belongs to Satan. She should fear the day she sheds her mortal coil.
It runs in the ‘family’..............
I’m am surprised at this revelation of Gen Honore I wasn’t paying attention
Not at all
It’s scary how much influence people in Hollywood, other NON elected and unvetted people have with Congress.
It’s also telling that Congress even seems to invite their opinion.
How fit for the job can anyone BE if they invite and NEED the opinion and support from non professionals, the uneducated and inexperienced??
Would it inspire esteem or confidence if your brain surgeon routinely and openly reviewed your health status with your car mechanic or manicurist?
“It now appears that Honoré is a partisan appointment”
I’m SHOCKED!
So retired general and covid scientist? 😆
Me too..I thought he was more of the old school tough general type. Being a creole from southern LA you’d think he’d be sort of a conservative Duck Dynasty sort of fellow. Maybe too much time around filthy DC politicians.
“General Honoré is committed public servant whose name is synonymous with integrity and professionalism.“
Speaker Pelosi was in charge of security and she wants a commission to purportedly ‘get to the bottom’ of the January 6th Capitol riot.
Say cover up commission and get it over with.
Looks like Honore is “Stuck on stupid”.
