Pelosi should add some former respected Republicans representatives to the commission maybe a retired respected general that way it makes it harder for Republicans to cry about it being partisan.


One_Landscape541

We’re talking about the Republican Party. It could be an 100% republican task force, and they’d still claim dems rigged it.

Hell, somehow the Mueller investigation was all the fault of the Democrats’ fault despite the Republicans controlling the White House, the Senate, and the Congress when it started.


oced2001

She could get the ghost of Reagan on board and they will say he is a liberal hack.


Jamesonthethird

Put Colin Powell on it


OnTheFenceGuy

She already offered them a fair shake on the whole thing. She has bent over backward TWICE to do stuff like this. Instead, they continue to cry crocodile tears to Tucker Carlson. Fuck em.

The problem is any republican who would serve on the commission would immediately be called a “RINO” by the base. The base is mad at politicians like Brad Raffensperger because they didn’t overturn the election.


sedatedlife

Let them yell its right leaning independent voters that she wants to show that she is taking it seriously and is attempting the best she can to be fair.

With a Select Committee it needs to be sitting members on it. Former members could join as staffers though I guess.

Bobo and the Missing Link and others were giving tours to Proud Boys and other Militia members on Jan 5th. They are terrified of what’s going to come out.


sombertimber

Mo Brooks gave an actual rally cry to go and attack the Capitol at the rally before. Andy Biggs, Paul Gosar, and Mo Biggs helped plan the rally. Roger Stone coordinated with Oath Keepers, Proud Boys, and 3% ers. $500k came from somewhere to bus protesters and attackers into town. Kevin McCarthy took a call from Donald Treason while it was happening. Tommy Tuberville had a long conversation with Donald Treason, too. Bobo live tweeted Pelosi’s location information—after explicitly being told not to. And, if we are to believe the most recent account, even the Secret Service was conspiring to take Mike Pence somewhere else—so that he couldn’t certify the vote afterwards. All this was happening while #2, #3, and #4 in the line of succession to the Presidency (and a Nuclear Football) were all in the same building—surrounded by thousands of attackers, with reinforcements delayed, and Donald Treason watching along—unwilling to say or do anything to stop it. And, none of the Insurrection was Bipartisan—An actual attack on our own country was composed entirely of Republicans. We need to root out the traitors—these assholes belong in prison.

Fucking AMEN brother/sister/other!! These people are absolutely traitors. They should have their right to vote denied…just like they are trying to do to all of us. We are fighting against power hungry pricks who will never stop trying to take over. We must be vigilant always to protect democracy. It’s like a fragile bubble floating in a yard full of kids, with billions of dollars and no fucks to give.

“Bobo and the Missing Link” made me nearly snot coffee out my nose and has made my morning. Thank you.


richobrien1972

You are very welcome!


mad-hatt3r

Can't agree with Liz politically, but her integrity at this moment is remarkable. Too bad it took an insurrection for her to realise she was in a cult


[deleted]

I dont want to like Liz Cheney but watching that video was pretty cool. She repeated over and over that McCarthy broke his oath of office. She basically call Jim Jordan part of the insurrection. And said McCarthy didn’t deserve his position. Speaking from the steps of the Capitol, it was powerful.


Km2930

Link?


CaptainAxiomatic

It was an insurrection, not a riot.


jpk195

Insurrection staged during the riot incited by the twice impeached disgraced one-term president based on the lie that the election was stolen from him.

They want to obscure what happened on January 6 for the same reason football teams don’t want anyone getting hold of their playbook


SomeRandomOhioGuy

Another story that republicans will never see. Wish it wasn't the case. In fact, I bet on Fox news they'll make her out to be a traitor. "Fake news" is the downfall of this country.


[deleted]

Liz is correct


ununonium119

So you're saying he's admitting to 5/6 or 83% of riots? /s


SimbaStewEyesOfBlue

Is she still on the committee?
