Jan. 6th Committee Holds 7th Hearing, GOP Senate Candidate Joe O’Dea says Trump is not Responsible

 The U.S. House Committee responsible for investigating Jan. 6th will be holding its seventh hearing today to focus on the coordination between Trump and extremist militia groups who stormed the Capitol. Despite growing evidence that links Trump to Jan. 6th, GOP Senate candidate and Trump acolyte Joe O’Dea “said Trump does not deserve blame — even in part — for the events that unfolded on Jan. 6.” He later doubled down and said he “would support Trump for president if he is the Republican presidential nominee in 2024.”

“Joe O’Dea is ignoring glaring evidence and blindly following the MAGA Republican agenda to absolve Donald Trump of his connections to the insurrection. O’Dea is out of step with the majority of Americans who want Trump to be held accountable. This is a clear warning sign that O’Dea would put Trump ahead of working Coloradans every single time.” – Colorado Democratic Party spokesperson Nico Delgado.

While O’Dea thinks that Trump bears no blame, 63% of Americans are in support of the U.S. House Committee’s investigation into Jan. 6th and 59% would support the Department of Justice filing charges against Trump after hearing the most recent testimony from the public hearings according to a recent Navigator poll.
