Rep. Clay Higgins, R-La., during a Homeland Security Committee hearing on Wednesday accused the FBI of secret involvement in the January 6 attack. Higgins during the hearing with FBI Director Christopher Wray cited their exchange from a previous hearing. “I asked you, ‘Did you have confidential human sources dressed as Trump supporters positioned inside the Capitol on January 6, prior to the doors being open?’ You responded. I quote again, ‘I have to be very careful of what I say,’” Higgins recalled, arguing that “we can’t get a straight answer” despite a “tremendous amount of evidence.”

      For starters, stop treating these people as serious people, regardless of position or economic/political standing. This clowns and his kind should have their mics automatically cut off and all interviews immediately ended the moment they start bringing this shit up with any level of seriousness. We have to stop treating them as sane people with valuable opinions worthy of attention the moment they start spouting fucking reality denying nonsense like the mental patients they are.
