Nancy Pelosi Assures January 6 Select Committee Will 'Seek The Truth'
For the sake of future generations in the United States of America – thank you Ms Speaker Pelosi for your relentless fight for America.
@Z Ham Because the D.C. National Guard is under the sole and exclusive control of the President of the United States. Learn the law/constitution – it might prevent you from asking stupid questions.
@James Kennedy think again, there’s no more shrugging any way dems will handle this well.
Relentless is definitely a word synonymous with Pelosi! This woman has made history over and over again and will continue to do so!
@Moz Quiff but the Sargent at Arms and the Capitol police could have prevented it
@Z Ham No, you mean TRUMP and the Republiscum could have prevented it.
No matter who goes to jail, America deserves to know the truth about January 6th
The truth about the love parade Trump style, with dead and wounded.
YOU BETTER BELIEVE THEY DO!
@Overpowered by Funk.Except that Forest Gump knows what love is.
exactly!
@Tessmage Tessera but they need to blame antifa, or the media, or the FBI, or the lizard people, or maybe it wa just tourists. Yeah, we all know it was trump supporters, now we just need to know exactly who did what so they could face justice
I wish you much success in your search for the truth. Democracy depends on it.
@reality pipe down, troll
@Gregory Powell how are those representatives chosen? People vote… Democracy at work.
@Ellen Youngblood changed your response pretty quick. Trump won and the World knows it. A day of reckoning is coming
@Bill Hicks The United States is a Republic. That’s why the federal government can’t mandate anything. Unless approved by the states.
You’re right that local is Democratic. I agree with that. But the country as a whole is a Republic.
@Gregory Powell no it’s not. For instance North Korea and the Soviet Union can be considered republics. No-one has ever gone to war in the name of republicanism. The United States is a democratic republic and since republic used after democratic is redundant we say Democracy.
The only reason this is an issue is pedantic Republicans who don’t like that we live in a democracy and have a party called Democrats. It’s the dumbest most childish argument I’ve ever seen.
They definitely have to get to the bottom of it or it WILL HAPPEN AGAIN !
@Trip Smith Oh really? So when this hag has no issue with Obama dropping bombs or trading terrorist , then regardless of what trump does LEGALLY, its some chaotic event, and now this? Yeah. It’s a shame that Seals on the left are so easily trained.
@Wisconsin Man calling people names doesn’t change anything. Again, you’re arguing that apples are oranges and oranges are apples. Never going to win that argument. Try again
@Trip Smith argument was won when the seal you are cried about it.
@Cody it will happen again
This is what trumpy wanted. All because of Hillary
@Cody they are and alot of the perps are right wing extremists. That’s why you haven’t heard much from right wing media about it.
The Republican had they chance to be equal in a commission for January 6 th insurrection and they made the choose not to participate… the phrase is ‘ setting themselves up for failure ….
Sidetracking the investigation by insisting they investigate BLM and ANTIFA. An obstacle.
Did you see kev mcCocky’s face when he said, he is going to create his own commission. He looks like he is about to vomit on his shoes. LMFAO. The last 4 years, Qpublicans had BIG talks about “investigation on top Democrats,” what happened??? NOTHING burger!
The only time Republicans are not shooting themselves in the foot is when they are reloading.
Thirty five Republican Representative voted for the commission. Any of those Republicans, who wanted to discover what led to this disaster, would be good committee members. The rest are not.
no sympathy for them
Just remember, folks.
There’s a tweet for every thing. Donald isn’t all that bright..
Trial by wombats.
@Common Sense even if all of that were true, at least he doesn’t think that George Washington’s Army took back the AIRPORTS from the British during the Revolutionary War!😄😆🤣😂🤣😂
@Common Sense What was Trump’s excuse for constantly mangling his speeches on teleprompters or anywhere else for that matter?
@Common Sense your ignorance is astounding.
Whereas Donald did so well in school that he literally sued them to keep his grades secret
Repubs can’t handle the truth!
They all wheather became LIARS as their current leader himself one is, or they’ve always been liars and just gotten the chance to show the American people who they REALLY ARE and always have been. Period.
We obviously can’t put insurrection deniers in charge of what may be investigating themselves.
@Lori A U R pathetic. Wake up!
@Lori A Putting “Gym” Jordan in charge of the committee to investigate the Jan 6 insurrection is the equivalent of asking a bank robber if they saw who robbed the bank.
Jordan promoting the Big Lie is the reason he cant be on the committee.
I suggest you pick up a book, and look into what the American right to Liberty really means. You clearly know nothing. 🤡
@Pog Inc. you actually described Pelosi
@Lori A No, actually he or she described Gymnasium Jordan. Show me a video or article with Pelosi promoting that the election was stolen from Trump.
@JJ E are you twelve or just developmentally challenged. Trolls are so stupid. I just can’t
She has more courage and character than Kevin/Karen Mcarthy
Please don’t use personal names as a derogatory. Suppose we use Joe to replace Karen.
Why put down women to denigrate men, especially when women are already called “Karen”? Kevin is a “Ken.”
@Charles Zorn like instead of calling you a Repuke, you are now a tRumpTURD?
@Mick why You may have something there. lol
Who would have ever thought that the same guy who admitted the Benghazi commission was created to hurt the Democratic presidential nominee would act in bad faith when it comes to creating a commission investigating actions by that nominee’s opponent?
Everyone.
The answer is everyone.
shocker
Thank you for standing up to these fools!
Can’t wait to see how McCarthy will try to explain away his comments that Trump was responsible for the insurrection,
Under oath in front of this committee LOL
@John Gailey And while they are at it, the committee should also call Mitch McConnell to explain his statements that Trump should be held accountable for inciting the insurrection.
@B P RIGHT ON POINT !!!
he’ll just repeat whatever lies trump tells him
Integrity on display. About time.
Google Pelosi family crime connections.
@Exposing the Lies You guys keep getting more desperate by the minute. If you cared about actual crimes, you wouldn’t try to cover for Trump.
@Allpaka Why would I cover for Trump? I’m not a Republican or a Democrat.
@Exposing the Lies , That would be a waste of time. People aren’t interested in being distracted from what’s important.
The people that spoke at the rally called by tRump were the main insiders! Giuliani was so hopped up that he even asked for” trial by Combat “!
@D Fran I totally agree. As should the rest of the bunch. MO Brooks said time for armed combat and tRump should have been too. That ba****d should have been locked up from the start IMHO.
they all need to be locked up for treason
@D Fran Stop your messing around;
Better think of your future,
Time to straighten right out,
Creating problems in town.

@Belly Dancer Em that’s a good 1
@D Fran you can thank The Specials for that, actually it was a cover of some reggae song from the 60s. But The Specials popularized it
That “the other side” alleges that it was a tour is such a blatant lie, and must be designated a dangerous lie which can be persecuted for insurrection-purpose.
We know who doesnt want the truth out there.
They keep obstructing the facts from being revealed.
100% ACCURATE!
Do you think, they’ll dig into why security personnel was declined by speaker of the house?
@Keat W Not if one party has any say in it.
Because it will mean the entire thing isnt being investigated.
@Keat W no they will blame someone else for that just like they blame everyone else for all the crap they do
I don’t understand what we need an investigation for. Don’t we already have all the proof we need? Why is Donald Trump still a free man?
Its what happens when your country is run by lawyers.
Lovivre Laverdure.Personally, I agree, but there has to be a process that enters the facts into the official record for historical posterity, also to help squelch the inevitable Republican ”no due process” accusations.
You’re right! He is a free man!
@Marie Smith the GOP doesn’t wait for due process, they just shove things through like AH’s. I’m getting tired of the good guys being pushovers. This isn’t OK. No one is supposed to be above the law in this country, but everyday we get proof of the exact opposite. I need to find a way to be more chill about it or imma grow an ulcer.
It seems the goal of the GQP CULT 45 is to end the United States…..This cannot be allowed any further.🇺🇸
There are a lot of republicans in jail already, and apparently a lot more to go.
Come on FBI!
Arrest the leaders of Insurrection.
Jesus. This is PART of it. Don’t forget DOD Chris Miller and his stable of UNCONFIRMED Last Minute Lackeys.
If they did arrest everyone who was behind the riots, DC would have no politicians left.
