To Republicans complaining that the Jan 6 investigation is "political"

[Ohioboy]

If you think it's "political" that's your fault, not those investigating. Coups are political by nature and investigating them tends to shed light on the political party that was involved. Your side made it political when it tried to force its political will on the rest of us.

If you don't like investigations showing your party was involved in a coup, blame those in your party that attempted the coup. In the meantime, STFU and stop blaming the investigation committee for something your side created.

Thank you. End of rant.

1. Cough Benghazi cough

Monica could have them on a podcast.

[PatSeg]

5. My first thought

The hypocrisy is stunning, though totally predictable.

[mikeysnot]

6. And the "media" doesn't call them ou enough

Just let’s em spew the narrative.

[OldBaldy1701E]

13. Why should they?

They are making bank like never before. Why stop it now?

[PatSeg]

34. At least Brian Williams did on a regular basis

often throwing in some subtle snark. Now he's gone.

[Mad_Machine76]

11. And it was McCarty (or Meadows?)

caught on a hot mic admitting that the multiple investigations regarding Benghazi were designed to hurt her in advance of 2016 (and were gleeful that it seemed to be having the desired effect).

[PatSeg]

33. Yes, it was Kevin McCarthy

And now they pretend like it never happened. It is what they do all the time in spite of the video evidence and their base doesn't care.

20. republicans never cared when Trump killed four soldiers in Niger

Multiple investigations over four killed in Benghazi but the republicans never cared when Trump killed four soldiers in Niger.

[keithbvadu2]

26. Four suckers and losers acc to Trump.

[DFW]

2. I'd just answer that the COUP attempt was political. The investigation is a criminal matter.

The coup attempt was a commission of a crime for political ends.

The investigation of it is purely pursuit of criminal activity. The two should not be confused.

[Ohioboy]

3. Exactly!

[Lovie777]

4. You damn straight . ...

GQP tried to overturn the election.

[gab13by13]

9. Every GQP member

not just the ones who were directly involved with the coup were complicit, are culpable. Only a few GQPers voted to hold Trump accountable, the rest of them are traitors.

[patphil]

31. Any Republican who voted to reject the Electoral College vote on Jan. 7th is complicit.

Any Republican who voted against, or in any way blocked or hindered, the Jan. 6th investigation is complicit.
Any Republican who downplayed the insurrection, and/or accused the Democrats of partisan politics is complicit.
Any Republican who never spoke out against the Jan. 6th insurrection is complicit.
Any Republican who supports the Stop the Steal lie is complicit.
Any Republican who never spoke out against the Jan. 6th insurrection, and/or the Stop the Steal lie is complicit.
Any Republican who is working to steal the next election through anti-voting laws at the state level, or blocking voting legislation at the Federal level is complicit.

Any Republican that still supports TFG is complicit.

That only leaves a handful of Republican in the Congress, and precious few at the state level, who are NOT complicit.
It's obvious that the Republican Party has become a criminal enterprise that is dedicated to the overthrow of the Republic.

[Tickle]

7. If you try and explain it

to them all they say is that it will be over in 2023 when they supposedly take over. I don’t even go there anymore when the conversation starts. Thanksgiving I left my friends house early because of talk like this. No matter how hard I’ve tried to open their eyes it just becomes an act of futility

[Captain Zero]

8. Think about this

The Dems won the electoral college in 2020 by the same margin as Trump did in 2016 by winning the popular vote by 4 million more votes than we won it by in 2016.

[gab13by13]

10. Think about this,

it's not going to get any better because there is zero chance of eliminating the Electoral College.

[Zambero]

12. And as Liz Cheney so succinctly reminded Gym Jordan that day

"You did this!"

[KS Toronado]

14. Good luck....

in getting any R to take a good long look in a mirror.

[MissMillie]

15. Attack on U.S. government was not just 1/6

It pretty much started the day TFG announced his candidacy for the presidency. And of course any attack on the U.S. Government deserves an investigation.

But if the GOP had worries about the politics of congressional investigations, they didn't seem too concerned about it after the Benghazi attack. Ten investigations costing U.S. taxpayers more than $7 million.

[NewHendoLib]

16. of course it's fucking political. It isn't about someone's favorite ice cream!

[The Wizard]

17. A failed coup d'etat

usually carries severe penalties up to and including blindfolds and cigarettes.
The Bible says the truth will set you free, and since you're always whining about masks, vaccines and other public health measures infringing on your Constitutional freedoms, live by your words and accept the truth as it will protect your precious freedoms. That is unless you have something to hide.
When will Pox News air staff relocate to Russia or Dubai? The emails and text messages indicate Pox role in the violent terrorist attempted overthrow of a duly elected government. As for Jim Jordan, get ready for the full body cavity search.

[berni_mccoy]

18. They are giving Garland cover to not prosecute the organizers

Plain and simple

[keithbvadu2]

19. Why would the republicans not want an investigation?

The Party of BENGHAZI doesn't want us to investigate the insurrection? Is this real life?

Why would the republicans not want an investigation?

Who was in the Jan 06 insurrection/riot smearing poop on the walls of Congress, attacking police, seeking Mike Pence for execution, and vandalizing the Capitol Bldg?

The ONLY proof you need that Antifa had nothing to do with January 6th is the Republicans' refusal to form a commission to investigate it.

21. They cannot at once claim to act as a patriot in the insurrection....

...and be ashamed of it when their role is highlighted.

[3auld6phart]

22. Good rant

[Mr. Ected]

24. Trump made EVERYTHING political, shitting all over tradition

Projecting that on Democrats comes straight out of the fascist's playbook.

[c-rational]

25. Well said and nice rant.

[calimary]

27. As the old saying goes, "he who smelt it, dealt it."

THEY MADE it political. The whole driving point of the insurrection was POLITICAL.

[LakeArenal]

28. Hmmmm. Event that had trump all over it.

That many call treason. Investigated by Feds. Seems pretty political to me.

[ejbr]

29. They act S if

We gaf about their whining. We have a country to save.

[Hotler]

30. It got political on 1/6. That's why I say Joe biden needs to stop worrying

about anything he does as being politicized.

[CaptainTruth]

32. Where was their concern over Benghazi?

[liberalla]

35. Most eloquently stated! Righteous rant!
