Getting Personal (Feat. Rep. Val Demings and ex-Rep. Denver Riggleman)

Rep. Val Demings (D-Fla.), Orlando's ex-police chief, and ex-Rep. Denver Riggleman (R-Va.), a former Air Force intelligence officer, make impeachment personal on the latest episode of Law&Crime's "Objections." A former manager from ex-President Trump's first impeachment, Rep. Demings passed the torch to her successors with advice to weave personal narratives as the voices for U.S. public. In her interview, she elaborates on that advice, reflects on the "Thin Blue Line" as a former Orlando police chief, and talks about her new post as chair of the House Homeland Security's Subcommittee on Emergency Preparedness, Response, and Recovery. When delivering his farewell address on Dec. 10, then-Rep. Riggleman warned about the dangers of disinformation, and he recalled telling his then-colleagues in the GOP that there would be an "80 percent chance of violence" around the time of the transition. He reflected on this episode about how he "hated to be validated" on Jan. 6, bemoaned the direction of his former party, and described a political career bookended by misinformation campaigns directed at him.
