News Roundup: Hearings, hearings! Jan. 6 hearings!
It is Friday. It is the day after the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol held its first “prime time” public hearing on the evidence they have been collecting for the last 18 months. The GOP, having chosen to align itself with an attempted coup d’etat, is defending itself by alternately saying nothing happened on Jan. 6, 2021, and something about how Black people in Chicago should be on trial for the proliferation of AR-15s in the hands of white guys. Not making sense to you? That’s exactly what the right-wing of this country wants in its news!
