    THANK YOU ! πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡²

  14. Why is that Democrat allowed to wear Black Face at a Hearing?

  22. GET WELL SOON, BENNIE!πŸ’―βœŒ

  23. I feel horrible for Bennie Thompson, I hope he doesn’t go home and twerk on a Genoa hard salami

  24. Whatever, he got word not to be there

  25. So who is going to be out front if Mr. Thompson is not there? Who will be serving as chair? And will the extra seat be filled by someone? Come on you’re getting sloppy with the journalism skills.

  26. Shout out to George Floyd on 2 years of sobriety. It took some tough love but he did it. Say his name liberals!!

  27. What's going on today makes me sick, we have Americans who can't afford buy food and the democats are wasting out tax money on this junk!! Stope voting for these clowns!!!!!!!!

  28. This will not stop the committee from fulfilling their assignment. Trump's people aren't going to get away with anything … and the last domino to fall will be Trump himself.

  29. Get well soon Mr Thomas β™₯️
    America needs and appreciate you immensely for what you've done for Democracy!

  30. God keep you (and all the committee) safe, Bennie.
    Thank you for all that you have done to protect the great country. America deserves more people like you. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

  31. That is the best news Trump and his lynch mob have heard today.

  32. JESUS CHRIST DIED ON THE CROSS FOR OUR SINS AND HE WAS BURIED AND HE ROSE AGAIN ON THE THIRD DAY THE BIBLE 1ST CORINTHIANS CHAPTER 15 VERSES 1 THROUGH 4 AND JOHN CHAPTER 3 VERSES 16 THROUGH 21 THE BIBLE

  33. Please get better soon Bennie Thompson! Rest, lots of fluids, & call your physician for that covid pill to get better quicker! πŸ’•πŸ’•πŸ’•πŸ’•πŸ’•
