"The Republicans want to participate," @GOPLeader says at his press conference this morning, trying to pre-but the Jan 6 select committee hearing later today. His argument is that the members Pelosi won't seat would ask the "tough questions" to expose why Capitol was unprepared.
@GOPLeader Batting second at this presser, @SteveScalise says the two members Pelosi won't seat (for publicly undermining the committee's efforts) were "canceled."
The line we're going to hear repeated from House Republicans over the next few weeks is that the select committee is all about Dems promoting a narrative, and trying to cover up for Pelosi, whom they accuse of failing to properly secure the Capitol on the 6th.
House GOP trying to hang the attack on the 6th around @SpeakerPelosi's neck depends on people not understanding how the Capitol Police board works, and wish-casting away the giant rally then-President Trump was holding across town, directing people to the Capitol to fight
Republican Rep. @RodneyDavis praising USCP officer Harry Dunn, testifying today, and calling him a hero. He says he doesn't get to question him today. But Davis was one of the Republicans that Pelosi was fine to seat on the committee, so its McCarthy blocking him from doing so.
