“No one saw this coming” 🤚 raise your hand if you definitely saw it coming.
-
I don't buy the idea that no one saw January 6th coming. Where I live ...it was very apparent this was on the horizon.
-
When you tell people, " If you don't take your country back now, you never will.." To me, that sounds like fighting words.
-
Justice is not revenge...it is accountability
-
I’m an old lady sitting in my living room. No secret service, no intel and I knew exactly what was going to happen. Geez it’s not rocket science.
-
Nobody cares if McConnell loves his job in the Senate. He needs to go.
-
We need justice. This is not about revenge. It is about holding those who do wrong, accountable.
-
Oh please. The senate had the chance to stop him. Two times. Yet they refused to do anything.
-
Seems like the whole point of this interview is to say..."no one could see this coming" so don't hold anyone accountable. Not buying into that.
-
He says, "Let's move on and focus on the future." We cannot move on unless there is truth and accountability.
-
Plenty of people predicted the possibility of January 6. Lots of us had these discussions prior to it, but no one was listening to those of us who envisioned possibilities they didn't want to believe.
-
Luntz and The Gang of Five (Gingrich et al.) need to drop to their knees and beg forgiveness for starting this country down the road to political vitriol.
-
Next time I get a speeding ticket I am going to stand before the judge and explain to him how revenge is not the answer and we really just need to move on. After he explains to me that legal consequences are not “revenge“ I will let you know how it goes.
-
"You can't buy politicians." Lost an insane amount of credibility there
-
Actions speak louder than words. Republicans still support Trump no matter what
-
We need accountability, when we don’t hold those accountable for their actions we are accepting those actions and creating a new norm that allows for this conduct
-
When you sell your soul to the devil, PAYMENT WILL EVENTUALLY BE COLLECTED.
-
You lost me with "Mitch McConnell cares about integrity"
-
My god, Luntz is insufferable. He's like someone at a cocktail party who's oddly convinced he's the smartest person there, and strangely unaware he's the only one who thinks so.
-
“ Nobody predicted “ Wrong , many of us did and were ignored
