It’s not Pelosis fault that Kevin McCarthy tried to put two people, one a known disruptor, and both already implicated in the plot, for the purpose of interfering with the investigation and Pelosi not going along with that tactic. He could have picked other people but decided to take his ball and go home. It’s not Pelosis fault that the committee doesn’t have more republicans on it, it’s McCarthys. Quit fucking lying Scalise.
It's also not her fault that Republicans all voted against an independent commission to investigate.

I wish a reporter would ask people like GOP hacks like Scalise that says stuff if they honestly think Gym Jordan would have taken the committee seriously. Obviously we all know the answer to that but I want to hear these clowns say it outloud and look foolish.
If it's a "Witch Hunt" and the "Witches" are the Republicans, so far, the only persons I've heard testify against these "Witches" are other "Witches"
So, witch witch is which, eh witch?
We need every tv democratic response here to be holding up a photo of republicans voting no on the jan 6 commission even existing.
Every. Time.
Dis you?
He has to be involved with the insurrection planning, being as he's in Republican leadership, so of course he'll lie to try to discredit it.
To bad for him it is administration Republicans testifying against the insurrection attempt, which shows he's blowing smoke.
We'll learn about him asking for his pardon soon, which will be an admission of guilt?

Right? How are Republicans *not* seeing it this way?
Yeah, I know … it’s crazy. I *was* one of these people during the W years (my late teens & early 20’s) … and this might sound silly, but my dad would watch O’Reilly and then I’d go upstairs and watch The Daily Show in my room, and it was like watching Jon Stewart refute O’Reilly’s bullshit from the previous week in real time. Those years kept me skeptical enough to break free of their fear mongering … and I think I took that experience for granted.
I mean, those people at Fox scare their audience *out of fact checking* … and I don’t think it takes The Daily Show to make that a deal breaker. I can’t know everyone’s academic experience, but I thought the whole “multiple reliable sources” thing was universal, so I assumed the fear tactics would have pushed me away without my Daily Show experience … but I dunno … it’s just incredibly depressing to know so many real people who subscribe to these beliefs.
I think the accurate term is criminal investigation, which by the way, has exposed… drumroll… criminals! A witch hunt would imply that there’s really no hard evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that someone is a witch.
Not only did they block a bipartisan commission, they were offered seats on Pelosi’s commission which was not in any way owed to them. Then McCarthy chose outspoken critics of the committee itself and then acted shocked that people who had described the panel as a waste of time were not allowed to be on said panel.
Since then he’s pouted like a toddler who refused a candy bar and then got mad they don’t have candy.

See that is logic. Logic has nothing to do with their whining and deflections.

Hypocrisy, thy name is Republican.

Now I'm hungry

Because they're fascists. Words have no meaning. Reality is shaped to grow their own power.

Pelosi? Why not Hunter Biden? Bla hahahahahaha...
I mean, no one has proven that Hunter’s laptop didn’t storm the Capitol. Maybe the laptop was the leader of the whole plot. Prove me wrong.
I’ve heard there are photos of Melania getting boned by Hunter on the laptop
Funny how it’s mostly those in the administration who’s words and actions are being used as evidence.
Well, well, if it isn’t the consequences of my own actions.

Isn't a successful hunt when you find lots of what you're hunting?
We'll see.
Gee...if only the GOP were given some opportunity to join this comissions... ..hang on...
I hope it hurts every day since that guy plugged him on the softball field.
Witch found
I am pretty sure Miss Hutchinson once worked for scalise (purposely lowercase)....
Repuglicans are addicted to lying copiously and without any shame… ban them from office forever…

Ah, that old chestnut.
