Trump Knocks 'Foolish' Kevin McCarthy for Not Having Anyone on Jan 6 Committee
Source: Mediate
Trump railed against the committee during a recent interview with Wayne Allyn Root, wherein he took shots at Congresswoman Liz Cheney (R-WY), called the investigation a one-sided kangaroo court, and bashed his former attorney general, Bill Barr, for torpedoing his election lies. As Trump touted the great warriors in his political corner like Congressmen Jim Jordan (R-OH) and Jim Banks (R-IN), he went back to talking about the committee to say Unfortunately, a bad decision was made.
This committee, it was a bad decision not to have representation on that committee, Trump said. That was a very, very foolish decision because they try to pretend like theyre legit, and only when you get into the inner workings you say what kind of a thing is this? Just a one-sided witch hunt.
When the committee was being formed in the aftermath of the Capitol riot, McCarthy tried to appoint Jordan and Banks as members, but House Speaker Nancy Pelosi rejected both of them on the grounds that they promoted Trumps lies about the election. McCarthy furiously withdrew all of his other picks from the committee in retaliation, though his reaction to the events of January 6 have come under renewed intrigue due to his unearthed recorded comments about Trump and the Capitol riot.

"Go on Donald, tell your side of the story, under oath, under questioning by informed investigators.
Think of the ratings!
After all, Hillary did it, so why don't you? Or don't you have the guts?"
God, I wish I could project my voice into one of the "journalists" he likes to scam. His reaction would be so precious.

But you know Trump will have a hard time resisting the temptation to be the center of attention on TV screens all over America. "No one gets ratings like me, no one!" Of course, he'd probably refer to himself in the third person though.

(22,861 posts)draining the committee. Pelosi accepted 3 of his choices and rejected 2 because they were deeply involved on Jan 6. McCarthy thought the committee would lack legitimacy if he ordered Republicans to stay off the committee, but with almost all witnesses being Republicans, that is hard to argue.

(32,726 posts)Of course Chump would never admit it NOW. He needs somebody to blame all this on, and McCarthy is an easy target.
Daring you to tell the truth, Kevin McCarthy! Tell the country that Chump made you do it.

Sometimes there is no counterpoint.

Its just Trump's way of saying 'I Love You'.
