Tuesday marked the first session of the House committee convened to investigate the January 6 Capitol Riot. And it didn’t take long for the theatrical nature of the proceeding to expose itself as Congressmen Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) and Adam Schiff (D-CA) let the faux tears flow for the cameras. Fox News Channel host Tucker Carlson used a hearty dose of sarcasm as he keyed in on those moments and called them out for how “emotionally fragile” they were.
“The one thing we did learn, it’s something we long suspected but never seemed confirmed is an awful lot of members of Congress are emotionally fragile,” he quipped. “At some seem unable — unstable really. Some to the point where they might qualify for federal disability of those grounds, they cry a lot.”
Before playing a soundbite of Kinzinger’s crocodile tears, Carlson noted someone “handed out tissues for the weeping that was certain to ensue. It didn’t take long for Republican Adam Kinzinger of Illinois to make good use of the Kleenex”: I never expected today to be quite as emotional for me as it has been. [Transition] You talked about the impact of that day. But you guys won. You guys held. You know, democracies are not defined by our bad days. We’re defined by how we come back for bad days. How we take accountability for that. Carlson joked that “Kinzinger hadn’t cried this hard since he drank too much Rosé while watching the final rose ceremony on The Bachelor , the one they were mean to Brianna. Adam Kinzinger is a highly sensitive plant and he doesn’t care who knows it.” While Kinzinger was up first, Carlson jokingly said he and his staff were “surprised” by Schiff’s tears because he was such a tough guy. “A few years ago he single-handedly took on an entire Facebook page full of Russian memes and lived to tell the story … But even Putin-fighting heroes have their limits,” he sarcastically lamented, noting that Schiff had accused him of working for Vladimir Putin.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
