'He knows that’s a lie': J6 committee member attacks Republican for FBI slander
Mike Rogers was once in the FBI but now that he's running for U.S. Senate, he is saying that the FBI is corrupt.
The former representative once served under the same FBI he now says is corrupt. Donald Trump fired the former FBI director and hired his own personal one. Republicans are now attacking that same Trump appointee.
"Congresswoman," former Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) cut in, "I am so frustrated every day by the men and some women, but primarily men, who you work around every day that are the antithesis of what Cassidy Hutchinson is. They're a 180 from her. I'm wondering if you have any insight as to how they can keep putting one foot in front of the other while doing and saying the things they're doing? I was shocked when I saw that Mike Rodgers ad for the Senate. Have you seen it?"

McCaskill explained that Rogers says among other things, that as a former FBI agent, he now finds the FBI corrupt.
"That's outrageous," said a disgusted Lofgren. "Outrageous! He knows that's a lie."
"Yeah. I mean, he was deeply steeped in the intelligence community in Congress and widely respected," said McCaskill. "I'm not afraid to say there are Republicans who were widely respected. How in the world do you square the circle between the Mike Rodgers who understands the intelligence community and the Mike Rodgers running for office saying the entire FBI is corrupt?"
Lofgren explained that she works with Republican members of Congress on a number of issues.
She maintains, "Some have tremendous integrity and intelligence and I enjoy working with them." The MAGA extremists, she continues, "lie and make things up. How they live with themselves, I don't fully understand. I was interested in Sen. [Mitt] Romney's comment that when all is said and done. Best case, you'll be a footnote in history, but your family will know what you did. How can you live with yourself knowing that you're telling a lie to get power? I don't understand it."
