The Big Lie Or The Truth. Decisions, Decisions
Tuesday, 19 January 2021: “The mob was fed lies, they were provoked by [Trump].” Senator Mitch McConnell on the Senate floor.
Tuesday, 18 May 2021: McConnell said he was open to the idea of supporting the bipartisan deal to establish a 1/6 Commission to investigate the terrorist attack on the U.S. Capitol.
Wednesday, 19 May 2021: McConnell caused serious whiplash injuries to members of both parties and the press when he declared he would do everything in his power to stop the creation of a 1/6 Commission.
House Minority Leader, Republican from California Kevin McCarthy had already on Tuesday announced his opposition to a bipartisan deal to establish the Commission, which would be divided equally between Republican and Democratic appointees.
So, what is it that has McConnell, that other slimy coward McCarthy, and other cowering Repubs running scared? Could it be the Commission just might turn up evidence through testimony about phone calls between Republicans like McCarthy and Trump before, during and after the attack on the Capitol?
McCarthy doesn’t want a 1/6 Commission. McConnell doesn’t want a 1/6 Commission. And the bald, dyed combed-over, orange-faced pathological liar doesn’t want a 1/6 Commission.
Hmmm.
The domestic terrorist attack on our Capitol on January 6 was planned and executed with encouragement from the highest levels of our government. The American people deserve answers about how this happened, why it happened, and what we will do to ensure our democracy is never threatened in this way again. Ben Jealous, president of People for the American Way.
