House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy says that he cannot support bipartisan legislation for a 9/11 style commission to investigate the Capitol riot on January 6th.McCarthy says that because Nancy Pelosi “refuses to negotiate in good faith” and expand the scope of the investigation that he will not support it
According to The Hill:
“Given the political misdirections that have marred this process, given the now duplicative and potentially counterproductive nature of this effort, and given the Speaker’s shortsighted scope that does not examine interrelated forms of political violence in America, I cannot support this legislation,” McCarthy said in a statement released Tuesday morning.
McCarthy said he could not support the legislation because House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) “refused to negotiate in good faith” on the parameters of the commission and because Democrats’ “renewed focus” does not include the “political violence” in American cities, the 2017 shooting at a Republican congressional baseball practice or the fatal attack on Capitol Police on April 2.
“The presence of this political violence in American society cannot be tolerated and it cannot be overlooked,” McCarthy wrote.
“I have communicated this to our Democrat colleagues for months and its omission is deeply concerning,” he added.
However, the final passage of the legislation likely will not fall on McCarthy but instead on Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell. McConnell has previously voiced support for expanding the investigation to not only focus on Jan. 6th but also on the riots last summer which plagued American cities.
No problem if John Durham, the most rusted name in investigators, leads the investigation. It will go on for centuries with no results.
Exactly. Where is his investigation report???
I never trusted him from day one. Whatever comes out of it, unless people are going to jail, who cares? To much time has passed.
I AGREE WHOLEHEARTEDLY!!!
Sometimes I ask my self if Durham even exist….!?!?!?
That’s a good question. He doesn’t seem to appear in ANY of the hearings, or on ANY news channel. He’s like Waldo.
Durham is a scum bag along with Barr . The two worthless shi$&&s in our justice system . God protect our country from these useless people .they steal legally from tax payers they have jobs that pay well and they have balls to take a salary for doing nothing for months and years .
Democrat BS
Damocrap’s are the cause of all of the violence. They are the known trouble makers in politics. They had the attack at the Capitol pland if TRUMP SUPPORTERS showed up. They are the ones that did this fraudulent election. They are the cause of all this chaos in our country.. Because these are the idiots that want our free country to be a communist country . that’s why kamalaand biden are holding WHITEHOUSE HOSTAGE.
watch for mitch to rollover and show his neck..
Oh geez, I sure hope not.
I hope not either, but with him it could go either way.
We ALL need to call him and tell him to back US AND TRUMP
It DOES work if they get a lot of calls
McCarthy has been a RINO, long before now. He plays both sides of the fence. I wish Pres. Trump would not trust him.
But I agree with him BECAUSE this commission would be slanted to yield one conclusion: Trump people BAD! Without looking at the people who really destroyed, terrorized and wreaked havoc on American cities.
That is because they don’t care what they have to do to make things be the way they want them. That’s why they ignore our constitution. And all the stink about the 2nd amendment . They want to take your guns away so you can not resist them when they give the orders to what used to be AMERICA’s. Police. The smart police are leaving the police force this government are going to turn these commie cops against U.S. citizens. Just like China cops. COMMUNIST cops. I had a friend that moved from Venezuela as a teenager. In the middle of the night the commie cops would come kick your door down and whatever they wanted if resist them they would just shoot you . they would take your wife daughter son food money ANYTHING THEY WANTED. And that us what will happen here if people don’t stop OBEYING the COMMUNIST RULES they have been imposing on American’s IF YOU DONT STAND FOR SOMETHING YOU WILL FALL FOR ANYTHING!!! If standing up for your COUNTRY FAMILIES, KIDS , Your rights and constitution ain’t worth it you don’t deserver it anyway. Do not give in do not give up your guns . GOD GAVE US THE RIGHTS AND ABILITY’S TO DEFEND OURSELVES. !!! IT IS YOUR RIGHT TO DO SO . AND NO COMMUNIST IS NOT GOING TO CONVINCE ME ANY OTHER WAY. THAT INCLUDES COMMIE COPS , COMMIE FBI, COMMIE CIA, OR ANYONE WORKING AGAINST AMERICAN’S UNDER THIS COMMUNIST THATS HOLDING THE WHITEHOUSE HOSTAGE. LIKE THE NEWER SONG THAT CAME OUT DONT KNOW THE SINGER . “””THIS MY HOUSE”” AND THEY BETTER BELIEVE IT.
SO THIS SITE IS STILL BEING INTIMIDATED BY THIS COMMUNIST GOVERNMENT. THATS AT WORK TO DESTROY OUR COUNTRY . TO THIS SITE YOU ADMINISTERS OWNER AND WHO EVER IT CONSERNS . YOU NEED TO GROW SOME BALLS AND STOP OBEYING THESE COMMIES. IF YOU DONT STAND FOR YOUR COUNTRY THIS SITE DONT NEED TO EXIST .
I agree. They hold way to many posts.
It never ceases to amaze me that when the republicans feel it is safe to do so, they speak out. McCarthy knows he is unable to stop this from going forward so he feels safe and thinks he will gain some brownie points with MAGA for doing so. He is making a RINO move here.
Your so wrong MK.
I disagree, he is from California
I am from California but have NO Representation in either state or federal government. McCarthy isn’t that bad compared to what is left. Pelosi, Schiff, Swalwell. Newsom, etc. Pelosi said she would only serve two terms as Speaker. I Newsom is up for removal and I pray to God it will happen.
I also am a free thinker. McCarthy knows that if the Republicans have no say in the rules then the dems would turn the investigation into a charade.
they will do that without any democrat help
I DONT THINK HE REALLY DOES ANYMORE. HE WASNT SURE WHO HE COULD TRUST IN THE BEGINNING, BUT HE IS SO SMART HE KNOWS TO KEEP YOUR FRIENDS CLOSE BUT YOUR ENEMIES CLOSER!!!
I kinda agree. However, I think he’s seeing (whether he likes it or not) that WE the people are serious with our beliefs and convictions going into 2022 & 2024. I believe he’s somewhat out of the slumber.
Time to push back on the democrats. They do not want to investigate anything fully. It is their way or the highway. This began many months ago when they ignored the unpeaceful peaceful protest to burn cities and destroy property. Then the slope. Election which they only want to believe everything was legit , that needs full investigation but they are too afraid they will be caught so they obstruct any investigation and now they want to only investigate what happened on January 6th. And not investigate what actually happened prior to January 6 that actually caused it. The USA is going in the wrong direction and sinking
Fast.
Correct. Democrats running the show will do that to U.S. !!
And that’s why those damocraps don’t want investigations on VOTEING machines or the riot at Capitol. They have absolutely no COMMEN SENCE . They did all of this to cover crimes of damocraps FBI CIA biden who is NOT A president HE IS A COMMUNIST PUSH IN BY DAMOCRAPS. CERTAIN USA LAWS SHOULD BE IGNORED AND THE LAWS THESE COMMUNIST MAKE!!! UNTIL THEY GET THOSE COMMIES OUT OF OUR COUNTRY.
Yes, wvcitizen: Where the hell s Durham? How much was this man paid to produce absolutely NOTHING!
I would say “give him time, but looks like he is BUYING time!
i am beginning to think that all of the taxpayers are the losers.we now have professional politicians WITHOUT OVERSIGHT.
Too much corruption in the highest offices of the government.
And now we have a puppet who is being controlled by major AMERICAN HATERS.
Bill durham is coming with the ufo fallen angels. He is an evil devil
The reports which I have read regarding the January 6th invasion of the capitol are that three weeks before it happened the democrats planned to have antifa and BLM moved into the group of patriots and that they are the people who broke into the capitol. Of course some of the patriots followed them but bottom line it was all another democrat SET UP to LIE and blame President Trump for the invasion. And with the help of the democrats completely controlled corporate press it worked just as they planned it.
The American Government is infiltrated by CORRUPTION IN EVERY DEPT THSTS WHY THEY GOT TRUMP OUT, because he knew what was going on?????
Millions of us agree with you.
And an air force vet. lost her life. Have we heard when her killer is going to trial?
He isn’t going to trial. He’s already been exonerated of any crime and you can bet the Dems made sure of that.
The killer is a black cop that shot a white woman. The Dems won’t report this for fear of a riot. Riots are only allowed when a white cop shoots a black person.
What is going on with the
ones they have been arrested? I read one has a lawyer because he has been beaten daily
by the guards and have destroyed one eye. Others are afraid they will not live to have a trial. We do not even treat terrorist that bad. Have any died as yet?
You haven’t seen the latest phone pictures of the January 6 scandal? A Capitol policeman allowed the Trumpsters to stay inside. Remember the guy with the buffalo(?) horns? The cop was telling everyone to keep quiet and behave. The guy was saying the same thing and the people were just looking around. They didn’t break anything, were not
“rioting”, stealing or committing any other crime. Just looking around. The only real offense committed was the murder of an unarmed female vet by a Capitol policeman. His name has been withheld but her family has a law suit going. Oh another thing I saw that I haven’t heard explained. It only lasted a few minutes but there were two busses and 1 or 2 SUVs at the back of the Capitol and Capitol police were letting the passengers out at the back and I don’t think they were wearing MAGA hats.
You can also include Bill Barr in the alleged investigation with Durham, it was red herring thrown!
Don’t forget, BARR WAS DOJ FOR BUSH AND YOU KNOW HOW THE BUSHES FEEL ABOUT TRUMP, CORRUPTION IN EVERY DEPT EVEN SCOTUS, STATE DEPT ETC……….
Phuque Nancy…Go to the light already you old dingbat!
We need to find who is pushing 1619 theory and terminate them from earth
Demorats/ Rino’s/ Anti’s ….CANNOT, repeat, CANNOT negotiate in GOOD FAITH
They have no souls any more
They lost it a long time ago
They have become service-to-self….
LISTEN UP….THANKS to the DEMOCRATS….VIOLENCE is RUNNING AMOK ALL ACROSS AMERICA. THEY are NO BETTER Than the TERRORISTS Attacking ISRAEL. TERRORISTS Have KILLED INNOCE NT PEOPLE and REPORTERS. From SamuraiQueen. 😩😩😩
AMEN! You are 100% right!!!
Wait to go, McCarthy! He’s growing some,…like us all. America might have a chance after all.
NO that sack is where he stows his quarters.
turn rhino? He has always been a swamp rhino. He is one of the main reason why our legislative leaders are cowards. The other one is Mitch McConnell. Until we get rid of them. Do not expect any action against the Biden agenda.
Peelousi does nothing in good faith. She is evil as you get. That’s why Satan hasn’t called her number yet. She would take over HELL. True that
The Priest at her church wants Catholics who condone abortions to be denied communion. To bad we can’t abort them.
Durham & Barr were obviously “deep state” actors. Both are worthy of execution. Think of the amount of taxpayer funds that they hsve gobled up.
That’s because Pelosi was behind it!! If you recall she was doing everything in her power to blame Trump for anything that was wrong so she could try to convince everyone to impeach him and stop him from running again
If they try to stop Trump from running again I will WRITE HIS NAME ON THE BALLOT! I have a big family and I wont be the only one.
The “cover our asses” investigation is in the wind. It will be used to cover both Democrats and Republicans, so everybody will be happy – except the bamboozled American people (as usual). Democrats are “no damn good; but then, Republicans are “no damn good” either. Time for Americans to sweep the Aegean stables clean. of this political trash. Time for a Trump takeover.
That Dam McConnell should have been terminated as Senate leader when that traitor Hemorrhoid of his Paul Ryan retired from the House! Those two clowns are the cause of all the crap and trouble we have now!!!!!
Nastassia Pelovsky, Bolshevik Hero of the Soviet Union, is incapable of negotiating in good faith. Good faith, like God and religion, is counter to Marxist-Leninist principles.
Why Not? Are you going to continue to hide the truth from the American people? All it takes for evil to succeed is for good men to do nothing. Looks like thats where we are today!
Very obvious from the beginning the report by MSM and Democrats concerning January 6th were a complete LIE. I must include Republicans who bought in to the B.S. One thing it does prove is that many of our elected officials are afraid of the people. If they aren’t constantly protected by security and behind a microphone they are afraid of the people.
Just what we need another Circus Sideshow to bash Trump for the liberal media to stay relevant plus it takes attention off Biden’s shit show
When it is suppose to be an investigation about the incident on Jan 6 why should many other things that have no bearing on the Jan 6 incident be included. If they want an investigation into that then have a separate investigation into other things. Congress never sees to have a problem having investigations, into every thing even when what they are investigating is a settled thing.
I do think McCarthy is afraid of what the commission will find out about whoa nd why it happened, which the majority of the population already know.
nO NEED TO INVESTIGATE THE DEMONCTRATS LED BY NUTZY PALOOOOZI AND CHUMP SCUMMER, AND ADUMB SCHITT ORECHESTRATED THIS SIX WEEKS BEFORE ACCORDING TO UNBIASED REPORTS.
I have read many of these posts and they all point to the 2nd A. but one place to watch is the Pentagon. There is a law that keeps the Army/armed forces from deploying in the US. But if you keep watch there are many of these new generals that are siding with the present establishment. The national guard was used to get the people to accept those in uniform to issue orders and carry weapons (yes they had live ammo). Now if the generals order the military to deploy and the guard is also deployed (even though the gard is supposed to be controlled by the state governors) no home owned weapons would or could stand up to their weapons. Several incidents inside the US have shown soldiers and cops will shoot at civilians on order.
The Reality…nobody sane cares what Piglosi & the ‘crooks in Congress’ do anymore.
This witch hunt over the November 6th Capital Riot Must be Stopped !!! It is ongoing due only to the Radicalized Far Left Demoncrat Socialist Party’s Agenda, who were Likely more Responsible as the Instigators !!!
Are you kidding me? Democrats are worried about January 6th? The emphasis of any investigation ought to be where the real riots and destruction took place- our cities!
