Tuberville says ask Nancy Pelosi, 'Were you warned?' about Jan. 6 riots at Capitol

In his weekly press briefing Wednesday, U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville answered a question about the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

“I want to know what we knew,” Tuberville said. “Hopefully, they get Nancy Pelosi and put her on the stand and ask her, ‘Did you know? Were you warned by the FBI?’ Because you, Nancy Pelosi, are in charge of the Capitol. You’re in charge of the security of the Capitol. We never hear anything like that.”

Tuberville said the House panel investigating Jan. 6 is partisan and invalid.

“The first thing I want to say is that if you want to have a commission, that’s fine,” Tuberville said. “The Republicans in the House put up three members that they wanted on the commission, but Nancy Pelosi would not allow them to be on it. She pretty much picked her people from the left and from the right. That makes, to me, this commission invalid. If they want to do a commission, do it the right way. Do it bi-partisan. But this is how Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer do things. They do it all partisan. They want to get the result that they want to get out of it.”

Sen. Tuberville is such a dumbass and liar. The GOP already had their shot at bi-partisan committee and rejected it.

This guy is complicit. He was on the phone with Trump during the insurrection. Sit his ass in the witness chair now. Stupid shit blame everything in the world on Nancy Pelosi? It’s called a select committee. So she selected

Because you, Nancy Pelosi, are in charge of the Capitol. You’re in charge of the security of the Capitol. We never hear anything like that.

You "never hear anything like that", because the Speaker is NOT "in charge of the security of the Capitol".

Not her job.
