The GOP wants to use the January 6 select committee to blame Pelosi for the Capitol riot, report says

The GOP plans to use Republican spots on the January 6 select committee to blame House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for the Capitol riot, CNN reported, citing Republican sources familiar with discussions.

The House voted earlier this week to create a committee to investigate the insurrection on the US Capitol. The committee is to be made up of 13 members selected by Pelosi, a Democrat, with five of those choices to be made in consultation with House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy.

According to CNN, once McCarthy picks his five lawmakers, the Republican plan is to have them make the case that Pelosi should have done more to protect the Capitol, and shift blame from former President Donald Trump onto Pelosi.

7. What is this multiple choice. It was BLM then Antifa then

9. And how does that work....

The Capitol Police Board is made up of 3 people, One Elected by the House, One elected by the Senate and one Appointed by the President (In this case Trump) for a 10 year term. I am having a difficult time envisioning how this becomes a Pelosi Problem when 2 of the three that were responsible for the safety of the Members of the House and Senate were elected/appointed by Republicans......

You already played your cards, morons. The Dems are onto you, they're the ones running the committee, you fuckwits. Your stunts will not be tolerated by the rest of the committee or Speaker Pelosi.
