House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy told reporters speaker Nancy Pelosi neglected her duty to defend the Capitol on Jan. 6 and demanding answers about her role in the violent attack that injured more than 140 police officers. He went on to say "On Jan. 6 these brave officers were put into a vulnerable and impossible position because the leadership at the top failed,". But he failed to implicate the main person who's actions caused the riot, Donald Trump. Because if Trump would of accepted his loss like an adult, his dysfunctional band of cosplay miscreants would of never stormed the capital. I believe in giving credit where credit is due. And all the credit for the capital riots goes to Donald.

 
Yeah. Marching orders were distributed. Already seen some of that crap around DP.
 
Of course january the sixth was all the fault of the democrats, ask any republican.

So then why didnt he initiate or join a committee to investigate? :rolleyes:

Put up or shut up Mac.
 
Yep just like Bush neglected his duty when let terrorists fly planes in buildings.
 
Pelosi should have called the national guard to help. She can do that right?
 
He is probably afraid he is going to have to testify before the committee about what he said and did on January 6th.
The current commission run by Pelosi can still subpoena him, cant they?
 
Maybe Pelosi was also responsible for "the routers", too. 🤣

This will work for their supporters, but how dumb do they think independent and unaffiliated voters are?

How exactly is the Speaker of the House of Representatives tasked with protecting the Capital from Trump's violent supporters who were hell-bent on a coup? I've seen leaps of logic but he just pole-vaulted across the Grand Canyon with that argument.

At that point, she didnt know what was going on outside. She had no idea how the Capitol police and local authorities were dealing with it, being treated, being overwhelmed. She had her duties to try and carry out. Who was bringing her security reports?

There were others whol could have done so too. There were a lot of failures and that's what the investigation is supposed to learn.
 
Yes, when you are a Republican who does not get his way, you storm the Capitol, beat up cops and trample people.
 
McCarthy is making every mistake possible in this.

I bet every Right Wing imbecile believes him too.

Sorry, he pole vaulted alright, but he didn't make it.

I was being sarcastic.
 
CLAIM: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who is in charge of overseeing the Capitol Police, is responsible for security failures that allowed the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol to happen.

AP’S ASSESSMENT: False. Pelosi does not oversee day-to-day operations of the Capitol Police.

Trump refused several requests to send in the NG.

Pence finally broke the law and sent in the Guard on his own authority.

I would say with Trump ignoring pleas for help, Pence did what he had to do to protect the capitol. He did not break the law under the circumstances.

You kinda gotta feel sorry for Pence. Even though he was a total Trump ass kisser, imagine how he felt about how this all ended. Once in 4 years, he did the right thing.

His final act as an officer in the executive branch, he has to use his authority to fend off Trump supporters who were out to kill him for doing his job. Just bizarre.

He didnt even make it as far as getting wet in the Colorado River. His effort was closer to that of Wile E Coyote.
