The 5 House Republicans who were rejected to serve on the #January6thCommittee have released their own response report today.
It's an obviously partisan document with 184 mentions of Paul Irving, the House Sgt. at Arms, and only 29 to the Senate Sgt. at Arms, Michael Stenger…

Needless to say, the Republicans had control of the Senate on 1/6/21 while Democrats had the House.
It's mostly a "Blame Pelosi" hack job that focuses almost entirely on the House w/only 11 mentions of McConnell and 36 of Pelosi. banks.house.gov/uploadedfiles/…

Falsely pinning blame on Pelosi is a Republican tactic beginning on 1/6.
The record shows, however that Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund called Stenger repeatedly to beg for a state of emergency, which Sund could not approve. npr.org/2021/02/23/970…

There are some valid parts about security procedures & chain of command, but the Republican J6 report is most notable in what it censors. There are only 24 mentions of "Trump" in the document, even though McConnell said "the entire nation knows" that Trump is responsible. /end
Correction: Only 2 of the Republicans who were tapped by Kevin McCarthy to be on the J6 committee were rejected by Nancy Pelosi. McCarthy pulled the other 3 after the rejection. Thanks @InfraredTravels for catching the oversight.
