I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving.
There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later.

In December, Nancy Pelosi intervened to keep AOC from getting the top spot on the oversight committee, and giving it to 74 year old Gerry Connolly, despite him having cancer.
Now, he's dead. Have the past 5 months been an important time for Congressional oversight?
