Donald Trump on Tuesday lashed out at the House select committee investigating the January 6 insurrection, hours ahead of a vote on criminal contempt charges against adviser Steve Bannon for defying a subpoena to testify before the congressional committee.
The investigative panel will convene Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. to vote on a report recommending that Bannon be held in contempt for ignoring a subpoena, and trump issued an angry statement through his spokeswoman Liz Harrington because he has been banned from Twitter.
“The fake, highly partisan Unselect Committee continues to rock and roll,” Trump complained. “They were unable to make a deal with Kevin McCarthy to put real Republicans on the Committee, so they got stuck with low-polling warmonger Liz Cheney and Cryin’ Adam Kinzinger who have no idea what our Party stands for.”
“Cheney is polling in the low 20’s in Wyoming, the State she doesn’t represent,” he continued. “This is just a continuation of the Witch Hunt which started with the now fully debunked and discredited Russia, Russia, Russia Scam, quickly reverting to a perfect phone call with Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine, Impeachment Hoax #1, Impeachment Hoax #2, and now this. The Unselect Committee is composed of absolute political hacks who want to destroy the Republican Party and are decimating America itself.”
“I am the only thing in their way,” he added. “MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
NEW!
