Shortly after four police officers who defended the Capitol on Jan. 6 provided gripping congressional testimony on Tuesday about the siege, the two highest-ranking Republicans in the nation insultingly indicated they had been too busy to watch the select committee s inaugural hearing. I was too busy doing work, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell offered when he was pressed to explain why he skipped the coverage. Hey, who s got time to linger on homegrown terrorist attacks on the U.S. seat of government when you re trying to kill Biden s jobs and infrastructure agenda?
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy similarly said he was stuck in back-to-back meetings during the hearing. But more than likely, McCarthy was dutifully prepping a bag full pink and red Starbursts Donald Trump s favorite flavors for his next trip south to kiss the ring.
Most obviously, what was her reason for leaving the Capitol Police outnumbered and unprotected?
Jordan and Banks wanted to ask
why Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund s request for the National Guard to buttress his troops was denied. Why were his repeated requests to the sergeant at arms who answers directly to Pelosi rebuffed? We re talking about
repeated requests, from two days before the riots to hours after the Capitol was breached.
Why did she blame Sund and force him to resign hours after the riot, and then lie the next day when she said he hadn t bothered phoning her? It stinks.
Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) slammed House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) on Wednesday over reinstating the U.S. House mask mandate and being hypocritical as it pertains to mask wearing.

The CDC on Tuesday issued a new guidance stating that those fully vaccinated should wear a mask indoors in areas where there’s high transmission.
“What’s interesting though is what the science. In the House you wear a mask but in the Senate you do not,” said McCarthy. “There’s a major age difference between the two as well.”

(CNN) The House select committee investigating the January 6 attack at the Capitol held its first hearing on Tuesday with harrowing testimony from four officers who shared their stories of being attacked by the rioters.
Thanks to our sponsors:
The three-hour hearing was the opening act for the committee that’s preparing to investigate all of the circumstances surrounding the January 6 insurrection, including the role played by former President Donald Trump. But the first hearing was focused squarely on the violence officers faced at the hands of a mob of Trump supporters.
