Rep. Matt Gaetz is not letting up on the January 6th protest and the injustice done to the citizens of the United States being held as political prisoners in their own country.
“The 2020 presidential election was incredibly contentious,” Jeff Clark reminded all who attended, “Many citizens in this country disagreed with mainstream media pronouncements that they should, in essence, sit down and shut up about the election and how it was conducted.”
.@RepMattGaetz held a House hearing with Jan. 6 defendants and their families, during which they outlined accusations of abuse of power from the government.
Gaetz was joined by @RepBoebert, @RepMTG, @RepRalphNorman, @RepGosar & @RepTroyNehls. https://t.co/2eMCWcukcR

Journalist Tayler Hanson testified that the crowd was mostly peaceful. What changed was DC police agitating the crowd.
“When the first concussion grenade flew over my head and deep into the crowd, I noticed it hit children that were in the crowd. It hit elderly people; it hit women. And at that moment, the tone completely changed,” Hanson explained.
Representative Troy Nehls concurred with the report. He called January 6th “an epic law enforcement failure.”
Hansen’s testimony clarified the happenings of that day. He described one situation where the crowd was repeatedly provoked and goaded into responding.

“That first initial grenade went by, and then it was just a barrage of grenades. I lost count. I had to put people out that were on fire. People had holes in their cheeks from rubber bullets that weren’t being violent. They were standing back,” he said, “That’s when the initial crowd was pushed even farther from the crowd surge. A man named Derrick Vargo was pushed off the side of the ledge as he was going up the wall. And that caused almost a stampede of sorts.”

Hanson had first-hand experiences from outside the Capitol to the Speaker Chamber doors where Ashli Babbitt was shot. He was an eyewitness to the events and was shocked that he wasn’t called to testify before the January 6th Select Committee.
“I actually reached out multiple occasions, more times than I can count, because I was a witness to what I would argue, one of the most significant deaths in American history,” he explained to the panel of representatives, “I wasn’t investigated by MPD, not even interviewed by their homicide team, by the Capitol Police. When the FBI talked to me, they had no interest in what happened to Ashley Babbitt. All they wanted to talk about was John Sullivan and my connection to him, which was, you know, a very peculiar thing. And they tried to set up an in-person meeting with me. And of course, it wasn’t what it was supposed to be. They were trying to entrap me. I had two phones hacked and basically completely wiped.”
