Video played during the final committee hearing showed Pelosi firmly in charge of a security apparatus she claimed didn’t report to her.
When House Democrats’ Jan. 6 committee convened its investigative hearings, members proclaimed there was no need to investigate House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s role because she wasn’t involved in Capitol security and their end goal was to find the truth no matter where it led.
“We must confront the truth with candor, resolve, and determination,” Chairman Bennie Thompson, a Mississippi Democrat, declared on opening day of the public hearings.
Some Republicans, such as House GOP Conference Chair Elise Stefanik (N.Y.) and Rep. Rodney Davis (Ill.), House Administration Committee ranking member, have argued that Pelosi could have ordered enhanced security for the Capitol complex ahead of the planned Jan. 6, 2021 “Stop the Steal” rally but did not.
“On January 6th, the Speaker, a target of an assassination attempt that day, was no more in charge of Capitol security than Mitch McConnell was,” a spokesperson for Pelosi told FactCheck.org. “This is a clear attempt to whitewash what happened on January 6th and divert blame. The Speaker believes security officials should make security decisions.”
On Thursday, with what the committee proclaimed was their final public hearing, they managed to undercut both those talking points. more
If they were smart, they wouldn’t be democrats.
The rotting souls still locked up will remember it and so will voters with a memory of what when on and a conscience. Democrats not so much.
Well, that right there is rather inconvenient
In her defense, she has been so Goddamned plastered she didn’t know if she was afoot or on horseback the last six years
Also video of Nancy P on 1/6/21 threatening to “punch out “ Donald Trump if he came to Capitol Hill. It is a federal crime to threaten the president with physical violence. I’m sure she will be held accountable.
What, me worry?
If they give a congressional hearing and nobody watches, does it make a sound?
