For helping cover up the truth about J6

[emanuelcuellar]

On what on all lies, bunch of lies, evilness, corruption. That's a medal she and Benny should

[acoastie]

He just made this medal a laughing stock for anyone who wears it

[revealanation]

They'll need those medals to melt down to cover their legals fees before they go to Gitmo. How in the heck can a criminal give a criminal a medal of anything but dishonor. Next he'll be giving the criminals he "pardoned" a trophy, God will be waiting.

Does every committee get medals for doing their jobs.

When Chaney goes to prison she can take the medal with her.

I'm so glad common sense will return to our government in a few weeks. Liz Cheney embarrassed herself on that Jan 6th panel.
