An important point.
No, because he is ad-libbing the very ideas which were excluded earlier.
Putting that in the unwritten part of the speech makes it easier for Trump’s “never write anything down” ethos. An ad lib can still be planned.
If I were going to testify before a Congressional committee, I’d like to think I’d make an effort to make myself somewhat presentable.
Anybody else get the feeling that we’re going to have another “Cassidy Hutchinson” bombshell, with Mr. Van Tatenhove’s testimony? It seems that the Oath Keepers have little regard for the rule of law, and want to be violent.
That was one of his complaints, right? That his supporters didn’t look clean cut but rather scruffy
I’m wondering what the patches/pins on his left breast are.
Mr. Ayres at least made the effort to look presentable. But both sound credible, so far at least, and that’s what counts.
I feel like Ayres especially might be there with Trump supporters in mind. Help them see that it’s possible to walk away; let them hear echoes of their own doubts.
holocaust denial was the breaking point, that was when he left the oath keepers.
Love the way this man is dressed. We want people who look like MAGA (as they think of themselves) testifying as well as these Ivy grads.
Ayers: “I got away from all the social media” to figure out that the election wasn’t stolen.
“We were basically just following what he said.”
If that’s proven, that feels pivotal.
Edit:
“When Trump put his Tweet out, we literally left right after that. If he put his Tweet out earlier in the day…we wouldn’t be in this situation.”
I guess it’s just me. Believe it or not, I actually do have a sense of decorum. My wife says it’s OK to go down to the corner market in my pyjama bottoms. I can’t do it. I understand the ‘Hey, he dresses just like me!’ point, but personally I would have made an effort to dress properly.
Ayers says he did his own research, and felt that something so big couldn’t have been kept secret. Thus, he began to doubt the election was stolen. The man doing some critical thinkin’!
Personally, I wouldn’t show up in a suit and tie – I’d have to buy the tie – but I wouldn’t show up in a tee-shirt and black(?) denim jacket either.

“We need to quit mincing words. What it was going to be was an armed revolution.”
Mr. Van Tatenhove: “It was going to be an armed revolution.”
Committee putting pressure on Rhodes to flip?
What are you talking about? He’s wearing his best jean jacket.
