Monday on MSNBC’s Hallie Jackson Reports, Rep. Adam Schiff weighed in on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi adding Reps. Liz Cheney (R-WY) and Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) to the January 6 select committee.
Pelosi previously vetoed two of House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy’s committee appointees because they might have brought a balanced perspective to the left’s kangaroo court. Instead, she added Cheney and Kinzinger, who both voted to impeach former President Trump following the protests at the U.S. Capitol on January 6.
“I think both Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger are serious about getting to the truth of January 6,” Schiff stated. “In that respect that we all share the same mission, we want to bring out the facts.”
No, the committee’s mission is to establish the Capitol Hill incident as a domestic terror event and to demonize Trump and his supporters as traitors and terrorists.
“We want to know what led to that deadly attack. We want to know what we need to do to protect the country going forward. So it’s — it’s well-composed already, but if there are other Republicans that are serious about the mission, we should be open to that possibility as well,” he added.
First, there was no attack at the Capitol, unless you count the violence from Antifa instigators whom Trump supporters tried to stop. Second, the only person who died as a direct result of the Capitol breach was an unarmed female protester shot by Capitol Hill police. Third, the only Republicans Schiff considers “serious about the mission” are anti-Trump RINOs who can be counted on to back the Democrats’ agenda, which is to make sure history records January 6 as a date that will live in infamy.
