Why are you deflecting to McCarthy anyway?(yes I know, yet another question you will refuse to answer) There's a thread about him that was started not too long ago where lefties are whining about him.
How about we have two separate commissions to investigate, one the Capitol insurrection and the other the BLM protests? Would that make McCarthy happy?

Our country's democracy was threatened on Jan. 6th! Any law maker should want to have those events investigated to prevent a future insurrection that could be successful! I am not deflecting to McCarthy! McCarthy is doing his damnedest to prevent an investigation of the events on Jan. 6th.

I never condoned violence, looting and rioting. Those things are wrong. Peaceful protests are another matter.

However, we are not talking about BLM, riots, looting or anything else right now other than what happened at the Capitol and how some are saying it was nothing more than a tour. Those who say that are toeing the party line of Trump, yes.

See, that ^ is the thing here. No democrat was, or is, claiming that any rioting, burning, or looting was a normal tour of the city!

The GOP, however, is claiming that the violence at the Capitol on Jan. 6th. appeared to be a normal tour that "got a little out of hand!"

"Grab you gas masks, Lie on the floor, and hide your congressional pins!"

"The tourists are coming!"

Now perhaps the MAGA folks are fearing the BLM folks are getting too powerful, and not being able to rustle up a majority of voters, did the next best thing -- try to block the peaceful transition of power and overthrow the government.

But the idea that the two of these are any more closely related than that is just as bizarre as the notion that these were tourists on normal tourist type visit.
You should have your walnuts checked.

Go ahead and suggest that to Pelosi. But don't hold your breath. If she wanted to have an investigation into blm antifa rioting and beating on Capitol cops it would have already been done. Just like the left base, Pelosi doesn't actually care about the riots and that cops were beaten, they only care about who is doing it.

"Silence is acceptance".. or something like that.

No one is stopping the loud mouth trump and his sidekick McCarthy from organizing one if it is so.... important.
