House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy announced on Wednesday night that he will not cooperate with the January 6th committee, saying it was not 'conducting a legitimate investigation.'McCarthy said that since Speaker Nancy Pelosi rejected his nominees to the panel, it was 'illegitimate' and noted he's made several public statements about the insurrection the panel could examine. 'This committee is not conducting a legitimate investigation as Speaker Pelosi took the unprecedented action of rejecting the Republican members I named to serve on the committee. It is not serving any legislative purpose,'

It's official McCarthy believes he'll be the Speaker in 2023 so he's B-slapping dem to show he's tough.
Those 3 dem will be toss off those committees as an easy down payment.

Something a lot bigger than the J6 committee is illegitimate. Why is Biden building a new ten foot concrete wall around the White House? Afraid of protests or attackers he let in thru the southern border?

Kevin McCarthy and the entire GOP put Biden in the White House when they allowed the steal. The GOP is a fake party and can not be trusted. MAGA or death.

It would not surprise me if McCarthy asked them (privately) to summon him to the Jan 6 committee so that he looks like he a real conservative friend of Trump. I would not put anything past him, Mitch, Nancy, Schumer, etc.

If this commision was legitimate, it'd be looking into Piglousi's role and all her e-mails setting the whole thing up.

Why is a 10 foot wall being built around White House if we can’t have a secured border to help protect the citizens of the USA?

A couple of things -
As soon as the Great Election Fraud of 2020 is more thoroughly investigated including the cyberfraud committed by the chicoms, the russkies, and Iran, state audits are completed to uncover the scope of the fraud, and those who committed the fraud are charged, tried, and imprisoned, then we can move past it and know who was supposed to be the current President of the United States. Then we can figure out what to do with Pence, Turtle, McCarthy, CJ Roberts, among others, who chose to overlook the fraud on January 6th.
Secondly, as soon as Nanie, her inner circle, the antifa thugs, and capitol police are investigated and charged with sedition, and convicted for their roles in instigating the capitol building break-in, then the investigation will be legitimate.

McCarthy's gum flapping is dangerous. Furthermore, McCarthy is dangerous.
Are there enough true conservatives in the Capitol to take the leadership positions?

I have zero faith, zero trust in Kevin McCarthy or Mitch McConnell. Republican "leadership" and a plurality of members BETRAYED President Trump and ALLOWED Joe Biden to steal the election in 2020. Everything, every disaster that has happens since then can be traced to that moment. Everything this contemptable party does from here to 2024 will be a full court press to make sure President Trump is not back in the White House. We need a MAGA party to allow the exodus from the fake opposition party Republican Party to a real opposition party. A MAGA Party. To hell with the Republicans.

And I have zero faith that any investigation will be done - about anything if the repubs take over. And with Dominion still out there, I don't think any Repubs will take over. I think that is the reason for the 10' wall. Dhims know we will be coming after them at some point.

This is what they all should have done, ignore the illegal subpoenas. The January 6th committee is nothing but a bunch of witch hunters led by the ugly old broom-rider from San Francisco. It's all illegal and republicans should go after the insane dems as soon as they get enough seats. Be sure to lock them all up for a year before the trials begin.

If K.McC wants to start getting some trust from us conservative peasants, he needs to immediately remove Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger from ALL committees and caucuses.

Well, at least there are no more Mean Tweets. But the very air abounds with Twits, however.

When the Communist-Democrats stole the 3 November election the government, including Congress, became illegitimate. In one year they destroyed our wealth. Bring back Trump. Kevin McCarty as speaker will be another Paul Ryan. McCarthy is Frank Lunz´s room mate. Jim Jordan is one of us.

Like all the GOP elites: too little, too late. Keep your "crumbs" that you toss before every primary.
Pleeeeeeze, President Trump: let others handle the social platforms (GETTR , Rumble, and perhaps FrankSpeech are necessary AND sufficient) and spend your resources on getting a MAGA party up and running. We need that new party "in Trump time"!

McCarthy is another swamp toad...he's short on leadership and a backstabber ...as President Trump found out...I'm sure there are other worthy congressmen capable of leadership...how about the congressman from Ohio?

I hope JIm Jordan has some time to campaign on behalf of freshly minted red state congressional candidates who come to town in 2022 owing Trump and Jordan. Different faces in the establishment promoting the status quo will not make the drastic steps needed to right this ship.
