WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)Casting a dark cloud over the select committee investigating the January 6th insurrection, congressional Republicans protested, in no uncertain terms, the panels utter lack of rioters.
Leading the charge was House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, who called the commission little more than a gussied-up festival of anti-riot propaganda.
Nancy Pelosis handpicked Democratic panel members all have one thing in common: none of them took part in the riot, McCarthy said. Without an equal number of rioters on the panel, well never get to hear both sides of this thing.
McCarthy said that he had drawn up a list of potential rioters to serve on the commission, including the QAnon Shaman, Jake Angeli.
Ive spoken to the Shaman, and hes up for it, McCarthy said. He just got his fur pelts dry-cleaned.
The House Minority Leader warned Pelosi against proceeding with the commission if it had no rioter representation. It could have a chilling effect on all future riots, he said.
