Maggie Haberman: It's The Dems Fault


From 'This Week', in regards to the Jan 6th select committee:

...it's hard not to look back at this and wonder if they had moved faster on a commission a -- or a select committee closer to the actual event, would there have still been more energy, would it had been easier to get Republicans on board because there was still so much intensity around it.


Can she really be this stupid?

Just because some Repubs MOUTHED disapproval of Donnie's participation in the domestic terrorist attack on the U.S. Capitol early on to try and distance themselves from their terrorist supporters, that doesn't mean they would have acted to actually do anything towards accountability.

After all, how can Republicans figure it out all on their own that the attempt to overthrow the government by violence is a bad thing?

for discouraging self-reliance. This woman deserves some sort of award for her decades of both-siderism and denial.

Just seven days after Jan 6, Trump was impeached for a second time — and for a second time, he was acquitted by Republicans in the Senate. If only Democrats had moved even faster, maybe Republicans would have been on board.
