House GOP conference chair Elise Stefanik: “The American people deserve to know the truth. That Nancy Pelosi bears responsibility, as speaker of the House, for the tragedy that occurred on Jan. 6.”

So today they're going with it happened, but it's Pelosi's fault.
These people are laughable monsters.

I'm sure Nancy will be happy to oblige. What exactly did Stefanik do, leading up to the coup attempt?

Let's try this again.
The Speaker is no more at fault than Mitch McTurtle and the former guy, As a matter of fact, possible less

The Capitol Police Board is made up on the House Sergeant at Arms, the Senate Sergeant at Arms and the Architect of the Capitol.

The House SAA is selected by the Speaker and then Elected by the House

The Senate Sergeant at Arms is selected by McConnell and voted on in the Senate

The Architect is appointed by the President (Trump) to a 10 year term that is confirmed by the Senate, so it looks like 2/3 of the Police Board was approved by Republicans.

Additionally, Paul Irving was first appointed by Speaker John Boehner and was held over by Speaker Pelosi.

The Speaker is not in charge of the life safety and security of the Capitol, the Police Board is.

Only the dumbest MAGA chuds are going to believe that Nancy Pelosi is the person to blame for 1/6, FFS. The fact that they're even wheeling out this line of attack shows how desperate they are.

Kevin McCarthy blew their last chance to effectively disrupt the hearings when he withdrew all of his members from the committee. This is going to go very badly for them, and they know it.

I’d like to think that only the most hardened 1/6 denier is buying what the Rs are peddling from the sidelines.

It is only Putin's dupes and Trump's cult that appear confused.

Man-child lost the election. Putin and man-child whipped the idiots and the evils into a frenzy. They then attacked the US Capitol and engaged in murder, assault, and mayhem. Hell, that gallows they erected wasn't made from spare construction materials. It was planned. And it was planned to be a lot worse than what we saw. Only the bravery of the Capitol Police and other good Americans stopped the violent, thuggish lunatics from making it worse.

So, I invite Elise Stefanik and others like it to STFU.
