Harriet Hageman is a true asset!! We need to hear from Harriet MORE!!

[@MegaFount]

Thank you, Wyoming, for electing this incredible woman to Congress!

[@Tim82ATW]

I agree 💯 percent

[@blondejon5538]

I was thinking the exact same thing when i saw her speaking. Great Job Wyoming voters

[@rogerbaker7449]

You're welcome. A far cry better than the RINO that was previous!

[@cindyturner5816]

Omg “brave men” they are traitors!!!

[@deedeeseyer3263]

Wow!!

[@ladyaqua4544]

Miss Harriet, you are awesome thank you Congress Woman. 🙏🏻👏🇺🇸

[@stealth9tn]

Whistleblowers need to be in charge of the FBI and DOJ for exposing the truth and get retroactive pay and benefits back.

[@colevetter8970]

Yeah, you would think they'd be promoted.

[@susannaguillory6590]

Yeah, they deserve a promotion.

[@Travelingforlife]

Great idea!

[@lisashapiro4714]

💯

[@AvalonDreamz]

Hell they can't even get another job right now because the FBI won't allow them to. What they have suffered is unreal. One of them they sent to a different state, he sold his home and moved with his family and his first day they let him go! They were homeless for awhile! It's dirty.

[@jonwhite1631]

So proud we voted out Liz for Harriet!!!

FBI was advocated by Charles Joseph Bonaparte son of Napoleon Bonaparte members of the 'Knights of Malta' secret military order created in 1099 by the roman Jesuits. FBI CIA NSA all ties to the Vatican.

Some are trying, people are scared. Bu honestly, if the liberal media doesn't start throwing their co-conspirators under the bus, they're going to get pulled under as well. The dam is breaking.

[@mikethomas116]

It is about time we saw some truthful courage. Thank you!

[@patmelton43]

I have had enough of the FBI. They have turned into another version of J. Edgar Hoover.

Harriet Hageman you are a credit to the word "TRUTH" and PATRIOT. Thank God we have brave and honest women like you in Congress. Your integrity will be rewarded. Wyoming is blessed to have you.

[@jamespeck276]

Thank you and Bravo to you all, especially the brave Whistleblowers. Because of your actions, right now, for this brief moment, I can truthfully say I am once again "Proud to be an American". I never thought I would be able to say that again.

[@tinaharris998]

We love you all Thank you for standing up we are with you

[@soundssimple1]

What a powerful speech. Hope is eternal. If only we had someone like Harriet in the UK . Good luck America you may just pull back from the unthinkable.

Wrong. True Americans are outnumbered by criminals.

[@pissyjo1213]

Republicans were voted in for real accountability. Arrest charges and prison sentences and/or execution. That is what you were voted in for and that is what we expect and you have the pursestrings to defund and the power to draw up paperwork get a Marshall and have them arrested. Stop acting like we don’t know this.

[@frederiquecouture3924]

♉♉ like your pic.

[@cowtoyscbc]

They have been broken at the Top for years while intimidating good agents. Now even some lower agents are following their example while a few have the courage to stand and defend Truth

[@judwatkins9478]

We need more Congressional reps like Harriet Hageman. She tells it like it is, and she's a leader who will represent our views. I think the middle class in America is finally standing up to Big Gov.

These whistle blowers are heroes.

I lived in Laramie, WY and love the state. The WY people are the salt of the earth. Tough, strong, faithful, independent. And patriotic. Rep. Hageman is clearly one of them. God bless her and the Whistleblowers. Problem here is the "press" are corrupt as hell as well.
