GOP was not shut out.

Repugs were in the SCIF, representing, participating, questioning, etc.

MOST in the House GOP knew the riot was a publicity stunt on behalf of Sean Hannity, Demented Donnie, and V Putin.

The greedheads, warmongers and toadies of the GOP are fast to lie because they know it takes hold of a certain percentage of people for ever — no matter how much truth is later applied.

Media go along. Fairness cough profits!
