We will be posting the episodes unedited, with the exception of the breaks. Summary below was taken from C-SPAN:January 6 Committee Chair Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Mississippi) said, “Donald Trump was at the center of this conspiracy,” and that the former president “spurred a mob of domestic enemies of the Constitution to march down to the Capitol and subvert American democracy.” His remarks came during the January 6 Committee hearing on the investigation of the attack on the U.S. Capitol. This is the first in a series of hearings - after months of closed-door investigation - detailing the committee findings on the Jan. 6th attack. Addressing her Republican colleagues directly, Committee Vice Chair Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WI) said those who “are defending the indefensible, there will come a day when Donald Trump is gone, but your dishonor will remain.” Sharing their stories before the committee were U.S. Capitol Police Officer Caroline Edwards, who was knocked unconscious during the first breach of the Capitol grounds, and filmmaker Nick Quested, who was filming the Proud Boys and the rally.  Support Sarah Stankorb’s work and preorder Damned If She Does: Why Women Quit Church and What It Means for the Future of Religion, Releases September 15, 2026.  Bookshop.org: https://bookshop.org/a/112456/9798889837091Website: https://www.sarahstankorb.com/Support the showKeep the conversation going.Want to learn more about Faithful Politics, suggest a future guest, or connect with us directly?Visit our website:faithfulpoliticspodcast.comBrowse our bookstore, featuring books from many of our guests:faithfulpoliticspodcast.com/bookstoreSupport the show and help us keep these conversations going:patreon.com/cw/FaithfulPoliticsSubscribe for behind-the-scenes content, reflections, and updates:faithfulpolitics.substack.comContact the hosts:Josh Burtram, Faithful Host: [email protected] Wright, Political Host: [email protected] Faithful Politics:Instagram: faithful_politicsFacebook: FaithfulPoliticsPodcast
