I love that Liz Cheney anticipated Trump lickspittle Tony Ornato calling Hutchinson a liar.   He came out after the hearing and claimed he never said what she quoted him as saying (that an enraged Trump tried to grab the steering wheel and head to the Capitol on Jan. 6 and lunged at a secret service guy named Engel who tried to stop him, grabbing Engel by the throat).  Ornato was a secret service agent who Trump promoted to deputy chief of staff, another unprecedented move in Trump’s führer-like loyalty/promotion program.   

Liz Cheney:  was Engel in the room when Ornato said this?   

Yes

LC: did he hear what Ornato told you?

Yes

LC: did Engel contradict Ornato?

No

Hutchinson was under oath.  Ornato, who swears, on FOX and in the NY Times, that she is lying, is still loving the taste of his master’s sphincter (Trumpie broke new ground by promoting Ornato from secret service agent to a high ranking member of his administration).  That was the best they had, after the damning, uncontradicted revelations about Trump wanting his armed followers waved past the f-ing magnetometers, and the complicity of his inner circle in the armed violence that was planned and carried out on January 6th.

Yes, Ornoto conceded, the president had been in a rage in the limo, but Ornato loyally stated he’d never told that lying traitor anything like what she swore he said! And, sadly, that’s all we’ve got for ya, Sir.

Now go say that under oath, Ornato, with fellow patriot Patsy Bologna.
