McCarthy Responds To RNC’s Jan. 6 ‘Legitimate Political Discourse’ Characterization
source
I knew this man was a traitor of the people, his bosses. Now the people of Bakersfield best learn what they did and what the cost will be to them for not vetting this pos liar.
Congress, via the police department, is arguing that the videos and emails of Jan 6th being sought are not matters of public record and that there is no public interest in their release. Furthermore, the body is claiming that sovereign immunity prevents citizens from suing for their release.
"In 'the courts of this country' – including the federal courts – the common law bestows upon the public a right of access to public records and documents … the Supreme Court was unequivocal in stating that there is a federal common law right of access 'to inspect and copy public records and documents.' … [T]he general rule is that all three branches of government, legislative, executive, and judicial, are subject to the common law right." The right of access is a precious "common law right … that predates the Constitution itself," writes Judicial Watch, citing Supreme Court precedent that upholds the public's right to understand what "their government is up to."
"Trump is wrong. I had no right to overturn the election." M. Pence. REALITY JAIL TV FOR TRUMP.
"It was a violent insurrection…after a legitimately certified election." M.McConnell.
"I'm really ashamed at what I did." R.Palmer; "I am deeply ashamed by my actions." E.Schwemmer. (Capitol rioters)

It was legitimate political discourse…..the only way low information Neanderthals weaponized by a malignant narcissist cult leader who wants to tear everything down because he lost, can engage in political discourse
It was just like any other tourist event at the Capitol
It was Antifa.
It was the FBI
….no wait lets go with "legitimate political discourse"
GOP cant even pick a thread:
How about: " It was a disgusting display of low information Neanderthals weaponized by a malignant narcissist cult leader who wants to tear everything down because he lost"
If the RNC wanted to limit the description then they would have. But they didn't, perhaps they are scared of their own involvement in the lead up to Jan. 6. I believe anyone who questioned the legitimacy of the election without proof is complicit.
So many dishonest people in our government seats
Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy talking points are like a desert airport windsock. They follow the direction of prevailing hot air.
she will run, you will never be the speaker, you are some crook Kevin
“…legitimate political discourse…” describing Jan 06 insurrection. If this is merely an expression of American Democracy, your client States are better off without it. You should be ashamed to inculcate democratic ideals to other countries when you cannot even practice what you preach.
I believe the King is a maniac & a lunatic & the suckers in the Republican party like MCConnell should not believe anything the King is saying.
WHY TRUMP STEAL 15+ boxes of WH documents that lawfully belong in the National Archives, including classified material? Everything Trump does is always for his own benefit, especially financially! Was he planning to sell those documents? Who would pay the most for classified national documents? THINK ABOUT THAT!
Jail Trump/Bannon 🇺🇲2022🇺🇲
Too bad for you demon craps the FBI already said there was no coordination which means there was no insurrection.
Name one person charged with insurrection?
Make sure it's clear when the voices in your head tell you who that is.
RNC, the "Rebellious Nazi Criminals" of the United States. Just part of the Gangster Of Politics (GOP), who need to be in prison.
Kevin McCarthy he needs to go down they need to get rid of that fool he's a traitor he doesn't like blacks or Mexican he's just like Donald Trump what a f**** traitor get rid of Kevin McCarthy he need to go get rid of them
Shout out to George Floyd on 625 days of sobriety. It took some tough love but he did it. Say his name liberals!!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
🔥DEMOCRACY IS BURNING 🔥🔥
🔥VOTE DEMOCRAT NOV 8th 🔥
🔥TURN OUT 90 MILLION DEM🔥
🔥COPY AND PASTE 🔥🔥🔥
⭐️🇺🇸⭐️TRUMP2020⭐️🇺🇸⭐️
I wonder if McCarthy really thinks anyone agrees with him?
ENOUGH FOOT DRAGGING ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SO HERE WE ARE: FIDDLE FIDDLE FIDDLE BURN BURN BURN.
NOV 2022 IS DAY AFTER TOMORROW. WE ARE ON THE EVE OF DESTRUCTION.
DEMOCRATS ALL NEED TO PULL THEIR HEADS OUT OF THEIR ……….. THE SAND.
By the time Garland does anything, the Republicans will have won the midterms (Nov 2022) and will be able to crush the January 6th committee.
Kevin McCarthey you are a weak, simple, little man. Shameful.
Senate Republicans blocked a bill to create an independent commission to investigate the pro-Trump insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6th 2021. Since the pro-Trump insurrection, more than 600 Trump supporters have been arrested with 185 charged with assaulting or impeding law enforcement. The pro-Trump insurrection or as the GOP calls it the "legitimate political discourse" left 5 dead, 140 police officers injured and $30 million in damages to our nation’s capitol. Nine of the top eleven states with the lowest per capita state spending on law enforcement are the Republican-led states of South Dakota, West Virginia, Alabama, Mississippi, South Carolina, Iowa, Arkansas, Indiana and Kentucky.
"The Republican Party is now little more than a whiny white grievance party that cynically exports racism in the pursuit of power.”
— Stuart Stevens, fmr. GOP strategist
'I'm a Republican. I'm not sure what that means anymore.”
— Fmr. Senator and Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel (R-Neb.), June 18, 2021
Peter N should be jail for setting up the isurrection
McCarthy need to stop BS.
Mccarthey thinks the voters are just to stupid to understand the Facilitators and funders of the insurrection, premeditated or not are culpable for damages at the very least. Voluntary or involuntary, death and injury occurred. Testimony will show the rally coordinators had warned the administration against the planned march. In my opinion
The turmoil created by current political fragmentation & hatred that we are witnessing is due to the tradition of identifying with & defending a particular political group, racial group, religious group, tribe, nation & class. We can reduce this divisiveness by emphasizing identity as members of human species rather than its fragment. Once I emotionally attach myself to humanity as a whole, the need to blindly follow power-hungry leaders comes to an end.
Trump belongs in prison for life
Guilty of treason sedition insurrection abuse of power obstruction of justice election fraud attempted coup racketeering tax evasion destroying government documents.
I feel like we're all sitting back and watching the biggest jerks turn on each other- It's a freak show if you ask me.
Adam Kitzinger doesn't fit in because he is using a moral compass while riding with a {leader} ship of mutineers. Pass the Voters rights act. In my opinion
mccarthy is a traitor to the USA!!!
Trump has lied to people, cheated people who worked for him, and stolen money from his own charity, which he never donated to, his whole life. He tried to steal democracy from the American people by spreading his “Big Lie” which numerous US courts had disavowed as made up lies from his crazy MAGA GOP cronies. Trump and his MAGA GOP will try to steal the next election by spreading their lies. No other US President or political party had lied and deceived the American people as much as the MAGA GOP in history before Trump. The crazy MAGA GOP always tries to make accuses for their cult leader by saying the Democrats does the same thing, and makeup wild crazy lies without proof which the courts have dismissed.
McCarthy is pathetic!
There are videos of every Congressional Republican hiding behind Security to avoid that "Legitimate Political Discourse" on January 6th.
If Jan. 6th wasn't "legitimate," then what was Black Lives Matters protests? Dozens of people were killed in BLM looting, fires and genuine insurrection. Billions of dollars were lost due to BLM, but nobody decries that.
Mitch mcconnell should retired
Nope. It's too late for republican politicians. They took this way too far. They've branded themselves as cowardly, unethical, greedy, lacking leadership, and a threat to democracy.
Traders should avoid attempting to predict trend reversals, or even worse, I believe there is more to this market than we currently understand. When people are losing, they don't endeavor to increase their average. Using expert Mike Howard’s assistance, I've made almost 9.5 btc on a 2 btc Trade capital over the last 8 months. Things could get worse, so make the wise decision. Markets fluctuate in cycles that might span anywhere from a few days to several years. In the case of B -TC, it's difficult to make a bullish case merely by glancing at the chart. It's a lot more complicated than some people want you to believe… You can reach Mike on ͲeIєɠɾαm👉Mikehowy
The sickest part is the politicians even denying that Jan 6th happened. I can’t understand how they backed the blue but turned against them so quick 😭
