MSNBC Regular Favors 'Physically Absconding' Republicans to Pelosi's Basement!

On Tiffany Cross's MSNBC show on Saturday,when Cross asked Mystal what should be done to force Republican congressmen to comply with subpoenas issued by the January 6th committee, he responded:

"I've always been a fan of Nancy Pelosi's basement, or vanity parlor, or whatever she has there in Congress, because Congress has an inherent contempt power. They, on their own authority, can issue legal subpoenas and force people to comply with subpoenas, and arrest people who don't comply with legally-issued subpoenas from Congress."

As to just how physical things could get, Mystal suggested that the sergeant-at-arms would be entitled to "fight" with the congressmen, and Mystal imagined the sergeant-at-arms "physically absconding" with the Republicans. Mystal acknowledged that the Democrats might be afraid to do so, but he insisted, "this is their power that they have, that they can execute under their own authority."

No. Don King is successful and sane. That’s a deranged racist Stalinazi moonbat.

Kidnapping for political profit! Why didn’t we conservatives think of that?


An English king (I forget which) did that. He arrested Parliament members who he knew would vote against something he was for. Held them in the basement until the vote was over.
