Republicans do not want to hear Jack Smith in an open hearing... [View all]

Because they know the truth.

They were in the Capitol on January 6th. Since then, they have been trying to re-write history by telling Trump's narrative over and over. They are scared to death of the truth.

Jack Smith has offered to testify in front of the Senate and House Judiciary.

But, that is the last thing that Donald Trump would want. The truth would be like a stake thru the heart.
