“U.S. House Democrats have tapped a former GOP congressman, Denver Riggleman, as an adviser for the committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection at the Capitol, sources tell me” reports Bloomberg’s Jennifer Jacobs. Riggleman is semi-ubiquitous as a Never-Trumper talking head on cable news these days having lost his seat in 2020 not to a Dem, but to a MAGA psychopath primary challenger named Bob Good. Riggleman’s main crime was officiating the marriage of two male campaign staffers, but also other various perceived slights against the MAGA Reich.
Riggleman is a former Air Force intel officer specializing in psyops and propaganda, so he brings some actual technical heft to the table on top of the fairly unsubtle political optics. The time he told NBC News “QAnon is for adults who believe The Lord of The Rings movies are documentaries” was hilarious, so whatever speaking time Riggleman gets in hearings ought to be entertaining.
