MITCH MCCONNELL, KEVIN MCCARTHY, CONFIRM THEY'RE COWARDS WITH NO SOULS ON FIRST DAY OF 1/6 HEARING
They claimed to have better things to do than listen to testimony from the officers who saved their lives.

After months of refusing to investigate the insurrection, killing an attempt to form a bipartisan commission to probe the riot, and swearing the attack wasn’t actually that bad, shameless, cowardly Republicans spent the day trying to discredit the proceedings as the officers literally testified about nearly being beaten to death. Rep. Elise Stefanik, who replaced Liz Cheney as the third-ranking House Republican, suggested the failed coup that left five people dead was Nancy Pelosi’s fault. Jim Jordan decried the investigation as a partisan “charade.” And the two highest-ranking Republicans in Congress, who also happen to be the most full of shit, claimed they were simply too busy to spend a moment of their days to hear testimony from the people who saved their lives.
As Cheney, who’s been made a pariah in her party for daring to say out loud that Trump incited the mob that came to the Capitol that day, said in her prepared remarks, “If those responsible are not held accountable, and if Congress does not act responsibly, this will remain a cancer on our Constitutional Republic, undermining the peaceful transfer of power at the heart of our democratic system. We will face the threat of more violence in the months to come, and another January 6th every four years.” Which is apparently just fine with the GOP.
