Meanwhile, Democratic Representative Adam Schiff told 'Face the Nation' on Sunday that he expected public hearings to begin in the coming weeks.
"I think the country needs a strong Republican Party going forward, but our party has to choose," she said."We can either be loyal to Donald Trump or we can be loyal to the Constitution, but we cannot be both. And right now, there are far too many Republicans who are trying to enable the former president, embrace the former president. Look the other way and hope that the former president goes away, trying to obstruct the activities of this committee. But we won't be deterred.
Schiff said the activities of Trump and his advisers and the actions of the Justice Department on January 6 are the"focal point" of the committee's investigation. "What we're seeing is a movement that is a mainstream movement, not simply confined to fringe elements," Pape said on"Face the Nation.""And this is important, because we're so used to thinking of right wing extremism, or really extremism in general as part of the fringe. They're just a tiny fraction of America, less than 1%, and they come from people that are economically destitute, many often unemployed.
"Fully 21 million people believe two radical beliefs in America today: One, that Joe Biden is an illegitimate president; and two, that the use of force to restore Donald Trump to the presidency is justified," Pape said. Of those 21 million people, 42% report their main source of news are outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax and One America News.
