Pelosi renews call for congressional commission to investigate Capitol riot
By Joseph Choi - 04/19/21 11:09 AM EDT


Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) renewed her calls for a commission to investigate the deadly Jan. 6 Capitol riot in a letter sent out to colleagues on Friday, 100 days after the unprecedented attack.

“Today is the 100th day since the January 6th insurrection and assault on the Capitol and our Democracy,” Pelosi wrote in her letter. “On this 100th day, we are determined to seek the truth of January 6th. To do so, we must have a January 6th Commission. To that end, we have once again sent a proposal for such a Commission to the Republicans, modeled after the 9/11 Commission.”

Pelosi had indicated last week that she would be open to dropping a “9/11-style” commission and instead opt for a select committee of Congress to investigate the Jan. 6 attack. Pelosi first proposed such a commission in February that would “investigate and report on the facts and causes relating to the January 6, 2021, domestic terrorist attack upon the United States Capitol Complex.”

What!! Pelosi isn't talking to herself or Kammie? She has the authority to do it, even a few Trump-Hater RINOs to play along. What's stopping her ... other than that evidence will prove her a fool?

Antifa and BLM fit the terrorist description so much better but goes largely ignored. But they represent the core of thuggery needed to instill fear of objecting to dismantling the police system, objecting to “systemic racism” (added to the vocabulary not long ago). Try calling the riots in Portland, Minneapolis an attack much less a terrorist attack and see how far you get. Especially on social media.

Oh. By the way. Don’t call those events riots but rather “Mostly peaceful protests”. The word “riot” is not allowed anymore anyway you know.  **nononono*

But you’ll never win in a debate pointing out left wing hypocrisy. That too will be censored or ignored.
