Jeffries says Republicans will 'regret' GOP-led Jan. 6 investigation as Democrats agree to participate

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries has appointed three Democratic members to sit on the GOP’s new panel investigating the January 6 riot at the US Capitol – casting the move as an effort to avoid allowing the committee to “whitewash” the violence from that day.

Rep. Eric Swalwell of California will serve as the top Democrat on the subcommittee, alongside Rep. Jasmine Crockett of Texas and Jared Moskowitz of Florida. Jeffries called Swalwell the “proud son of a cop, highly accomplished former prosecutor and skilled legislator” who will push back against the GOP’s efforts to “rewrite history.”

“Republicans will regret that they’ve decided to go down this road,” Jeffries said at a press conference announcing his picks, scorching Trump’s moves earlier this year to pardon convicted felons who beat police officers at the riot at the Capitol.

“Donald Trump and House Republicans are now determined to whitewash that day that will always live in infamy. House Democrats will not let it happen, not today, not tomorrow, not ever.”

It's pure midterm ragebait. They're going to run on whitewashing the history that unfolded on TV in front of our eyes. I'll be amazed if they even let the Dem's dissenting opinions into the final report.

What the GOP understands that Dems don't is that there's no bottom to the gullibility of the American Voter. The collective memory of goldfish.
