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.
GOP Senate Candidates Are Loyal to Trump Before Colorado
Coloradans voted out former Republican Senator Cory Gardner in 2020 because he betrayed Coloradans to be Trump’s yes-man. GOP Senate candidates Ron Hanks and Joe O’Dea would follow in Gardner’s footsteps and put Trump ahead of working Coloradans.
Despite growing evidence of Trump trying to overturn the 2020 election results and inciting an insurrection, Hanks, an insurrectionist, and O’Dea both agreed that “Trump does not deserve blame — even in part — for the events that unfolded on Jan. 6.” The candidates went even further and committed to supporting Trump if he ran for president in 2024.
“Coloradans ousted Cory Gardner because he sucked up to Trump and betrayed working families – and they will do the same to Republican Senate candidates Ron Hanks and Joe O’Dea. Colorado can’t afford another Senator who will sell them out for a far-right MAGA agenda.” – Colorado Democratic Party spokesperson Nico Delgado.
