Republicans have no ideas on inflation or crime. They duped their voters.

WASHINGTON — Representative Kevin McCarthy, the California Republican who is attempting to become the next House speaker, on Wednesday warned the special committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol that members of his party planned to launch an inquiry of their own into the panel’s work next year when Republicans assume control of the chamber.

House Republicans plan not only to end the inquiry at the start of the new Congress, but also to attempt to dismantle and discredit its findings — the latest piece of a broader effort the party has undertaken over the past two years to deny, downplay or shift blame for the deadly attack by a pro-Trump mob.

Disgusting!

Shortly after the attack, both the Senate and the House held multiple hearings investigating security failures, and the Senate produced a bipartisan report detailing those failures. But McCarthy claims he wants to look at the security failures again.

Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia also extracted a promise that Mr. McCarthy would investigate Ms. Pelosi and the Justice Department for their treatment of defendants jailed in connection with the Jan. 6 attack. Maybe they can get better treatment in prison for convicted felon Elmer Rhodes.

Mr. McCarthy refused to comply with a subpoena to testify about his experiences during the insurrection, including a phone call he had with President Trump as the Capital was being ransacked.
