We wouldn't be in this boat if you had given Trump the candidate even a fraction of the scrutiny you gave Harris the candidate or Biden the president. How are you gonna fix this now? What are you doing to be better?

This makes me so fucking angry. Not that she shouldn't have resigned. It's that this just further enhanced the utter gaslighting that Jan 6. WASN'T an obvious insurrection initiated by the fucking orange criminal invalid in the White House. Fuck me!!!

Ignorance is strength for our new administration and this woman could not be appointed because she had the temerity to criticize an attempt to violently overthrow of the U.S. government. Through the fucking looking glass.

It comes after the investigative group Documented on Tuesday released a 2021 letter in which Sgamma wrote that she was “disgusted” by Trump “spreading misinformation” about the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol by a pro-Trump mob.
