McCarthy live now

Says if Pelosi doesn't let him seat all five Republicans, he won't participate!

Except... he already said he wasn't going to participate.

May 18: McCarthy won't support January 6 commission and sides with Republicans downplaying the insurrection

July 1: McCarthy Threatens Committee Assignments Of Members Who Take Jan. 6 Committee Seat From Pelosi

Now he's saying Pelosi is afraid of discovering the truth, and they're going to run their own investigation

Edit: now Jim Jordan is up, saying that Democrats aren't going to address crime and the border crisis!

Oh, and he says the only problem with Jan 6 was that Nancy Pelosi didn't have enough cops at the Capitol (... to stop Trump's insurrectionists???)

Second edit: this press conference just looks like a bunch of flailing bullshit from total amateurs who have no clue what they're doing.

He's from a deep red district in the Central Valley of California. They will continue to elect him. Think Louie Gohmert.

I've always been convinced that the only reason he is in Congress is because he's a local boy, tall and handsome. Dumber than a box of rocks and way less useful.

So they try to belittle and cut them down at every turn, rather than respecting, listening, and possibly cooperating with them for the good of America.

Weakness up the wazoo. Sad.

would be if he held it at a landscaping company next to a dildo shop.

Maybe he just figured that he had enough dildoes standing behind him.
