MacFarlane: I'm filling a notebook with misinformation spreading about January 6th today. The idea that these cases were wrongful, no case was overturned, not a one on appeal. And lots of people appealed. They had a 100% success rate for juries at trial.

The funny thing about media outlets like CNN trying to be “balanced” by inviting conservatives is that they don’t really know many normal conservatives and so when someone says “bring on a conservative“ they inevitably think “Who is the absolute biggest asshole I can think of?”
