b"On today's 'BradCast':\\xa0 The reactions are very telling from Thursday's likely final public hearing of the House January 6 Committee, which revealed new documentary evidence detailing Donald Trump's long-premeditated plot to steal the 2020 election - - how he knew he lost the election and knew there was no evidence of widespread fraud when he incited the armed mob of rightwing extremists to attack the U.S. Capitol. Far-right activist and Trump henchman Tom Fitton, exposed as one of Trump's key coup plotters, deflected attention from his culpability with performative outrage that then-80-year-old House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said she wanted to 'punch out' Trump for inciting the mob. House Republicans were so eager to demonstrate their clownish fury that they attacked one of their own employees. Trump issued a bonkers, hilarious 14-page response to the Committee's subpoena for his testimony, rehashing his same tired, long-ago-debunked nonsense. A GOP-controlled county in Michigan has hired a January 6 insurrectionist and big proponent of Trump's baseless election lies to recruit and train pollworkers for next month's critical midterm elections to determine control of Congress. More than two weeks after Hurricane Ian left widespread devastation across Florida, Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis finally issued executive orders easing tight restrictions on voting and vote-by-mail, but only in the state's three hardest hit counties, which lean heavily Republican, with no assistance for voters in hard-hit inland counties that lean Democratic.
