Republicans on Jan. 6 select committee will reportedly try to blame Pelosi for the Capitol riot
As the House select committee to investigate the Capitol riot takes shape, Republicans are preparing a strategy that mostly takes aim at House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), reports CNN.
According to GOP sources, Republicans will try to "make the case [Pelosi] should have done more to secure the Capitol" and "attempt to shift the blame away from [former President Donald Trump] and onto the speaker," writes CNN.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) has yet to name his optional selections for the committee's five GOP slots, and Pelosi has the power to veto anyone he chooses, reports CNN. Notably, the speaker tapped Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) as one of her eight selections for the committee.
Pelosi veto aside, McCarthy may have a tough time nominating the right Republicans to execute the GOP's blame-shifting strategy. Almost all of the minority leader's potential picks, as reported by Punchbowl News, voted against certifying Biden's 2020 election win. But as The Washington Post's Greg Sargent notes, "There is no way to appoint these Republicans without highlighting the GOP's own culpability in creating the conditions leading to [Jan. 6's] horrors." For example, CNN reports, panel picks like Rep. Gym Jordan (R-Ohio) "could also be a valuable witness for Democrats trying to learn more about Trump's actions." But simultaneously, McCarthy would also be ill-advised to pick Republicans who might treat the proceedings seriously, says Sargent.

Good luck with that strategy Repukes. Sniffing Trump's farts has damaged your brain.

Why they might even commit some mob violence against a Dirty Dem governmental body, that'll show those Election Stealing Bastards. 
The President tells his followers that the election had been stolen out from under him for several months (even before the election) and even attends a "Stop The Steal" rally the very same day and suddenly people are breaking into Capitol Hill because they think that Mike Pence is basically selling them out (by not doing something that he constitutionally or legally couldn't do) and then the National Guard isn't deployed for hours (probably at Trump's orders or those of one of his lackeys) and McCarthy (who was reportedly on the phone with Trump trying to get Trump to call things off) thinks that he can successfully blame Pelosi for what happened LOL
If I had it, I'd use that .gif of Jennifer Lawrence
