    It's really disgraceful to have representatives of the people who do they serve? Not the people. They serve a loser
  • GOP members who went to court in support of the wrong doing should be ashamed of their actions.
  • @menotyou4847
    This is so incredibly inappropriate for them, especially the House Speaker to show up there. These are NOT Republicans, they are the Sycophant from the Sycophant Party.
  • @RLReagan
    The Congress reps attacking the legal system should be disbarred if they are attorneys. It’s the #1 unspoken rule is to support our judiciary. If we don’t believe in it then why should anyone

    Jasmine Crocket said if ...someone... She never said MTG. But, MTG owned it.
  • @Gary-xm1gy
    Donald Trump is a prime example that there's literally no Lows the Republican party is not willing to go.
  • @AllieSheffield
    It is disturbing to see the route elected government officials are taking to form our country’s political institutions, where are the consequences for ugliness it is on display?.
  • @johnfatanum8602
    You are supposed to be in the capital to do people work.NOT IN NEW YORK
  • I want to know who paid for their transportation to and from Washington to New York??? Tax payers 🤷🏻‍♀️
  • @travisabr1294
    The party of small government that wants to give power to the federal government... the executive and judicial. Make it make sense. They want to contol everything from what we eat to who we love to what we believe in. People dont realize the creeping authoritarianism is incredibly dangerous. Vote.
  • Our country is fighting against a large group of people who have been mesmerized by a charismatic narcissist. Much like having a loved one stuck in the trappings of a cult, it is difficult to get them to take off their blinders. The sane folks need to forget about politics and fight against chaos and tyranny. Read "Cults on Trial", by Dr. Lance Moore. We can't let the misguided zealots win!
  • @KnialPiper
    Vote Biden. Get registered and vote to save democracy.
  • @carlosg7345
    Trial is Not about hush money, it about how they illegally recorded the transaction to hide that money payout !
  • @donnacox1354
    If anyone else went to court 60 times to try and over turn anything and still keep insisting they were correct when they kept losing, with evidence so strong one does not need a trial to even see it, because we all saw and hear it. People would think that person was a whinning little jerk. Well?
  • Show these idiots that they can be elected out of office I don’t want to be. Intimidated to vote for someone who wants to control people. There is no reason to talk about a judge or daughter some integrity.
