What’s Heating Up at RedState

Nick Shirley is back in the spotlight, releasing a second explosive video that reveals extensive fraud in Minnesota.

Catch the moment when Raskin is silenced after Hageman debunks the ‘insurrection’ narrative during the latest January 6th Committee session.

If a Republican was saying the things Walz is saying, the mainstream media would report breathlessly and ENDLESSLY about their being an insurrectionist while screeching about how we must DEFEND OUR DEMOCRACY. But since it’s dillhole Walz, crickets.
