WJAS (current radio home of Wendy Bell) has announced the arrival of another conservative crazie onto their airwaves: Rose Tennent.
We've written some about her over the years, mostly about how she's a birther who thinks that President Obama is the devil (the "evidence" being all the flies and rodents who surround him).
But did you know that Rose Tennent was also a part of the attack on the Capitol on January 6?
There's this from the NYTimes. It's an article from January 7 about how Trump's allies were looking to excuse/deflect Trump's responsibility for the insurrection. Tucked inside we can read:
...just after a pro-Trump mob breached the security perimeter at the Capitol on Wednesday, [Sean] Hannity was hosting his afternoon radio program. He spent no time reflecting on Mr. Trump’s role in inciting the riot, which some conservative Trump allies — including some of Mr. Hannity’s colleagues at Fox News — were already calling a dangerous, needlessly provoked insurrection.
And a few paragraphs later:
Then the host took a call from an empathetic pro-Trump activist and regular guest, Rose Tennent, who was standing outside the Capitol as the situation escalated. “At some point, people break,” Ms. Tennent said, offering not a single harsh word about the violent protesters who had overtaken the Capitol Police.
“This is the hill they want to die on. This is a battle that is just as important to them as the Revolutionary War was,” she said, adding that these lawless demonstrators weren’t entirely to blame for their actions. “If you ask me, the Democrats and the media are responsible for this.” [Emphasis added.]
This is who WJAS hired to be on their air.
Can someone please ask Rose Tennent about the insurrection? What was her role in the treason? She was there standing outside the Capitol as it happened, right?
