We are witnessing an active cover-up on Capitol Hill. The leaders of the Republican party are no longer just playing dumb when it comes to the January 6th insurrection - they are openly trying to mask a deadly attack on our democracy. #velshi

This week the House voted to create a special select committee to investigate what happened before, during & after the assault on the Capitol. Democrats were forced to take this step because Republicans previously blocked a commission that would have done the same. #velshi

Two Republicans voted with Democrats in favor of the committee: Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy wasn’t happy about this. Because in his eyes, his GOP henchmen have a duty to uphold the Big Lie and certainly not the truth. #velshi

McCarthy reportedly threatened to strip any Republican member of Congress of their committee assignments, if they accepted a position on the Jan. 6th committee from Nancy Pelosi. To this, Adam Kinzinger said, “Who gives a shit". #velshi

Republican leaders threatening members of Congress for...acting like members of Congress. Pelosi *did* offer a seat on the committee to Liz Cheney, who, while she remains a committed conservative, put country before party and accepted the job. #velshi

McCarthy reacted, saying Cheney’s actions were “shocking”. Shocking? Taking a seat on a Congressional Committee, investigating an attack on Congress? #velshi

Cheney has a responsibility to this country. NOT to the former insurrectionist-in-chief and the Big Lie that continues to damage this nation. #velshi

Covering up that insurrection is an even Bigger Lie. But you know what’s even scarier? The thought of whom Kevin McCarthy might appoint to the committee “if he decides to tap any Republicans at all. #velshi

If common sense Republicans like Cheney & Kinzinger are some of the only Republicans to speak up about the insurrection & the conspiracy theories that triggered it - if they are not the types of Republicans he wants on this committee, I’m scared to know who are. #velshi

Marjorie Taylor Greene, maybe? Who blamed wildfires on Jewish space lasers and says 9/11 was an inside job. Or maybe it’s Matt Gaetz who’s under federal investigation in a sex trafficking probe - allegations he denies. #velshi

America deserves a non-partisan investigation into the events that took place on January 6th - by lawmakers who won’t derail the inquiry with nonsense and distractions because January 6th wasn’t a normal tourist visit. #velshi

It wasn’t a peaceful protest and it definitely wasn’t BLM or Antifa, as Republicans would have you believe. The United States Capitol was breached by insurrectionists. The Vice President’s life was threatened. Cops were beaten. Blood was shed. #velshi

Anyone who says we shouldn’t get to the bottom of this...well, you’re complicit in one of the ugliest stains on American history. #velshi
