It was an inside job

That was no organic insurrection on Jan. 6. But you knew that.

Rolling Stone magazine reported on Tuesday that planners of the insurrection, in which five people died, included members of Congress. The article starts thus (emphasis mine):

As the House investigation into the Jan. 6 attack heats up, some of the planners of the pro-Trump rallies that took place in Washington, D.C., have begun communicating with congressional investigators and sharing new information about what happened when the former president’s supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol. Two of these people have spoken to Rolling Stone extensively in recent weeks and detailed explosive allegations that multiple members of Congress were intimately involved in planning both Trump’s efforts to overturn his election loss and the Jan. 6 events that turned violent. 

Among those members of Congress? The ethically-challenged Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), but don’t let’s stop there. According to Rolling Stone, the

members who participated in these conversations or had top staffers join in included Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.), Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.), Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.), Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-N.C.), Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.), and Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas).

Gosar, who can’t even get his siblings to like him, reportedly offered a blanket pardon to any insurrectionist who got pinched. Meanwhile, the GOP is playing at distracting American voters from their members’ complicity with mewling bleats like this one, on Twitter yesterday:

Lolita Lebrôn, upon her arrest

Don’t let them. Stay focused. And remember the four members of the Puerto Rican Nationalist Party shot up the House chambers in 1954 and wounded five U.S. representatives. One of the attackers, Lolita Lebrón, was sentenced to 50 years in prison (she was later granted clemency by then-Pres. Jimmy Carter). They threw the book at her. Do we want any less for these traitors?
