The White House said they wanted open hearings, not closed, and then they didn’t want those either. Then they said they wanted to participate in the proceedings, and now they say they don’t. All they really want is to hide the President’s serious misconduct. It’s not working.

Shawnee County’s district attorney has asked the county’s sheriff’s office to investigate whether a Kansas congressman voted illegally in Topeka’s city election last month. The Topeka Capital-Journal reported Tuesday that Rep. Steve Watkins, R-Kansas, changed his voter registration in August to the address of a UPS store in Topeka. The address, located in the 8th City Council District, was the one he used in November’s election when the winner of the council race was decided by just 13 votes.

Democratic Darling Nikki Haley says the Confederate flag was about "service, and sacrifice, and heritage" until Dylan Roof "hijacked" it.

Haley also said in this conversation that "the national media wanted to make this" -- the murder of nine black people in a church by a white supremacist -- "about racism."
[I]ts foundations are laid, its cornerstone rests upon the great truth, that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery—subordination to the superior race—is his natural and normal condition. This, our new government, is the first, in the history of the world, based upon this great physical, philosophical, and moral truth.[2] | The Cornerstone Speech, also known as the Cornerstone Address, was an oration given by Confederate Vice President Alexander H. Stephens at the Athenaeum in Savannah, Georgia, on March 21, 1861,[1] delivered extemporaneously a few weeks before the Civil War began with the Battle of Fort Sumter. Stephens' speech defended slavery, explained the fundamental differences between the constitutions of the Confederacy and that of the United States, enumerated contrasts between U.S. and Confederate ideologies, and laid out the Confederacy's causes for attempting to secede from the U.S.
