'Liar and a pawn': House Republicans were quick to target Sarah Matthews during Thursday's Jan. 6 hearing. It appears the GOP has been reduced to telling the public not to trust the sworn testimony of other Republicans. -MaddowBlog
Desperate to defend Donald Trump, House Republicans briefly called Sarah Matthews "a liar and a pawn," despite the fact that she currently works for them.Sarah Matthews, a former Trump White House press aide, had plenty of important insights to share during her Jan. 6 committee hearing testimony. Consider, for example, her comments about the then-president’s tweet targeting then-Vice President Mike Pence.
At a time when Pence’s life was in danger, that tweet was “potentially giving the green light to these people,”. “Telling them that what they were doing by entering the Capitol was OK and that they were justified in their anger. He shouldn’t have been doing that. He should have told people to go home and condemned the violence that we were seeing.”
The Republican staffer also explained that, after seeing Donald Trump’s mid-riot anti-Pence tweet, she spoke to then-White House press secretary, Kayleigh McEnany, making the case that the then-president should condemn the violence and disperse the crowd., McEnany agreed and went into the dining room to see Trump, only to return soon after and say that he didn’t want to include any mention of “peace” in a tweet.
