General Discussion
Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsAfter January 6th, there were bipartisan negotiations as to what the nature of a 9-11 type
investigative committee should be. McCarthy and the House Republicans brought a list of demands to the negotiations. We Democrats basically agreed to all of them.
Unable to take "yes" for an answer, McCarthy then urged his caucus to vote against the very deal he had demanded. Though 35 House Republicans voted for the special non-partisan commission, McCarthy's reversal killed any chance of Senate approval and the special commission that the Republicans had negotiated for died by their hand.
And, now, after Speaker Pelosi reluctantly elected to form a "select" committee comprised of House members, this same Minority "Leader" McCarthy has the unmitigated shameless gall to accuse her of cooking up a "partisan" commission for the purpose of smearing Trump and his disciples!
Please, folks---ANY discussion of what the Republicans are saying about the commission should be interrupted with the LOUD questions "WHAT IN HELL ARE THE REPUBLICANS TRYING TO HIDE? WHAT ARE THEY AFRAID OF?"
They have no good answers to those questions. They have no reasonable explanation for their blocking of the special non-partisan committee. Hang all of these albatrosses around their necks
