A better, brighter one. Hillary Clinton was on her […]
Former Vice President Mike Pence on Sunday said there has “clearly” been an effort to “rewrite” the history of the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot. “Look, I'm very confident that of the judgment of history in the years ahead about our role, about all the Republicans and Democrats who returned that day after Capitol Police...
