Hodges lol
Raskin asked if he felt they were just tourists
Hodges: Well if that's what American tourists are like I can see why foreign countries don't like when we visit.

OMG. Raskin asks if the terrorists were just "tourists." Hodges says if that's how American tourists behave, he understands why other countries hate American tourists

Hodges seems to find some catharsis in testifying today. I hope telling their story brings them all some peace.

Gonell: "you're defending the indefensible...what do you think people considering becoming a law enforcement officer think when they see elected officials downplaying this? Why would I put my life on the line if you don't care?"

Gonell: What do you think people considering a career in law enforcement will think when they see that elected officials don't care. Why risk my life for people who don't care? They don't care about officers, they don't care about the public, they don't care about truth. They care about their career and want to feed somebody's ego for a tweet.

Gonell: Under other circumstances we keep our mouths shut. We do our job. But this is bigger than that.

Pro police, pro law and order. And now that they have the chance to hold people accountable they don't. Pass the buck like nothing happened. It is devastating.

I'm not watching, just reading here, and my throat has a lump in it. I don't know how you can even read these first few minutes and deny anything was wrong. We saw an attempted overthrow with our own eyes and it crushes me how many deny it. I'm processing that day in a new way from this hearing. On the day I was just in utter disbelief. I keep coming to back to this. We were watching the coverage and it was so bad and terrifying, and we really had no idea what was going on.

Pfc Dunn says it's too late for January 6 to "not be political" it literally was and is political.

Dunn: telling the truth shouldn't be hard. January 6th was hard. Showing up on January 7th was hard. Showing up after the fence came down was hard. I applaud Liz Cheney and Adam Kiplinger's, but it shouldn't be heroics to tell the truth.

Dunn: if a hit man kills someone, the hit man goes to jail, and so does the one who hired him. A hit was put out on January 6. We need to hold to account the ones who hired it.
