“There will be, I think, substantial evidence that really demonstrates the coordination and the planning and the effort, despite the fact that they understood that Donald Trump lost the election and even once the insurrection began and the violence began, there were ongoing efforts to persuade the former President to stop the violence and call on folks to go home, and he refused to do it. I think the American people are going to learn facts about the planning and execution of this that will be very disturbing.” (our emphasis) -- Rep. David Cicilline (D-RI), previewing the upcoming House Select Committee hearings on the January 6 insurrection. In truth, it will be disturbing to all but alternative reality-based Trumpists, who have called the seditionist insurrection everything from "legitimate political discourse" to a "normal tourist visit."
The televised hearings will begin at 8 p.m. Eastern time on June 9, and promise to be eye-opening, and as Congressman Cicilline said, disturbing.
