There is another clear sign that our federal government has been taken from us and converted into some kind of an authoritarian MAGA hell. This thug MAGA tactic uses House committee chairmen to block inconvenient evidence from entry into the congressional record. That violates House rules. However, MAGA elites do not care about inconvenient rules if they get in the way of blocking inconvenient evidence.
In this 1:42 video, Rep. James Comer (R-KY) refuses to let Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) enter evidence into the record according to standard House rules. He keeps interrupting Pressley by blithering about entry by "unanimous consent" as if that entered the evidence into the record. That is a lie.
In this instance, Pressley is trying to present evidence related to rape statistics, specifically data that challenge MAGA narratives about immigrants and their alleged crimes. Comer say, "You can go with Mr. Frost and Mr. Green," which effectively dismisses her attempt to enter the evidence into the record. Throughout the exchange, Comer cites specific rules regarding unanimous consent, but his actions show his desire to avoid allowing Pressley to read the title and source of her evidence into the record. This evidence is significant because it exposes contradictions in the testimony provided by MAGA witnesses during the hearing. Comer's actions here show MAGA's intent to control MAGA narratives by limiting dissenting viewpoints in congressional proceedings.
