Did the Capitol Hill Insurrectionists Have Inside Help? | The Mehdi Hasan Show

Absolutely! The fear of being held accountable is the reason the GOP is now saying "we need to move on, heal, and unite the nation". They should be no moving on until every member responsible is charged and expelled. Giving the locations of your colleague and the house speaker, when you've been explicitly told not to do so, and your only reason, you have a different political view. This should not be overlooked nor pardoned. This has never been about a party or a country, this is a cult.
