YouTube Description
as posted by the channelRepublicans are doing anything they can to deflect from the January 6th Congressional Hearings, and Arizona Rep. Andy Biggs went so far as to claim the hearings are to distract from price hikes in tortillas. It’s important to note that Biggs was “instrumental” in orchestrating the coup attempt, as well as allegedly pleading with Trump for a pardon before Trump left office. Cenk Uygur, Jayar Jackson, and Jessica Burbank discuss on The Young Turks. Watch LIVE weekdays 68 pm ET.

"Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.) gave a “corny” take on what Americans are discussing instead of the Jan. 6 hearings.
Biggs, who the Jan. 6 committee identified as one of a number of Republicans who sought a presidential pardon following the attack, argued the hearings were a distraction from manufacturers shrinking package sizes to deal with inflation.
The congressman pointed to one item in particular that Americans are talking about: tortillas.
“They don’t want you talking about, ‘Hey, the size of that pack of tortillas that I just bought last week before it came out, it used to look like the regular corn tortillas, now they look like mini tortillas,’” Biggs said on the same floor where U.S. Capitol Police officers drew guns at a mob on Jan. 6, 2021."
