They have been lying. they were lying on january 6th. they go on social media every day. they go on the air and pretend january 6th was not a big deal. and i would say also that while we heard from trump loyalists, republican congressmen, people saying to mark meadows, mark, he needs to stop this now this is someone who knows meadows well, i would say one of the most remarkable things that liz cheney has done is she has gone on the record with don junior s text. this is an exchange that goes back and forth where he says he says that, quote, he s got to condemn this shit as soon as possible, and then he says to mark meadows, again, we need to know the address. he has to lead now. ....
