Rep. Rodney Davis,

'Moderate' GOP pick for riot commission yelled profanities at Capitol cops over metal detectors in Congress
By Ray Hartmann

When Rep. Rodney Davis, was named to the Capitol riot commission Monday, what stood out most was the fact that he hadn't voted to overturn the election of President Joe Biden.

But recent media descriptions of Davis as a "moderate" are belied by his 88.8 percent pro-Trump voting record and the fact that he voted against both impeachments.

Just a week after the riot, Davis managed to heap public abuse on some of the Capitol Police officers who had risked their lives protecting him.

I'm sure he'll do his BEST to make sure that the sanctity of the "Capitol of America" will be upheld.

more repulsed by a Republican Congressionalnp candidate. He is not my Representative, but the locals we marched with despised him.

I want him voted out of office so bad. I'm on Medicare now, but for years, the only way I had health insurance was because of the Affordable Healthcare Act. And the little weasel kept sending me notices about how hard he was working to take my healthcare away.

Can't stand him. Really thought Betsy Dirksen Londrigan had a chance in '20. She almost beat him in '18.
