Rep. Adam Kinzinger 'Humbly Accepts' Pelosi's Request To Join Jan. 6 Committee
Breaking 911 ^ | July 25, 2021 | B911

Posted on 07/25/2021 10:23:04 AM PDT by Trump20162020

Washington, DC – Congressman Adam Kinzinger (IL-16) released the following statement after being asked to serve on the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol:

“For months, we have searched for answers and what process we should use to get them. For months, lies and conspiracy theories have been spread, threatening our self-governance. For months, I have said that the American people deserve transparency and truth on how and why thousands showed up to attack our democracy, and ultimately, what led to the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol Complex on January 6, 2021.

“Self-governance requires accountability and responsibility. My faith requires the same of me, truth is necessary for order, and that’s what I will do. Let me be clear, I’m a Republican dedicated to conservative values, but I swore an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution—and while this is not the position I expected to be in or sought out, when duty calls, I will always answer.

“This moment requires a serious, clear-eyed, non-partisan approach. We are duty-bound to conduct a full investigation on the worst attack on the Capitol since 1814 and to make sure it can never happen again.

“Today, I was asked by the Speaker to serve on the House Select Committee to Investigate January 6th and I humbly accepted. I will work diligently to ensure we get to the truth and hold those responsible for the attack fully accountable.”

Yeah, me too. He’s like a baseball coach who allows two of his players to bat for the other team. At a minimum, he should strip them of committee assignments. There should be a price for this, but there won’t be.

Of course he does. He’s a Democrat posing as a Republican.

As usual with white liberal ‘elites’ like Nancy, there’s ZERO diversity of thought on her committee - just members of both parties who hate middle-class and working-class conservatives...

What a witch - picking the ‘jury’ who will give her report the conclusions she wants to give her toadies in the press...who have already written their op-eds condemning the conservative protesters.

History will not be kind to Nancy...

Pelosi got her political start from Jim Jones.

Jim Jones was the reason for the big switch from the party of the Klan to the party of pity.

"I was constructed in a garage in Palo Alto'" - Hillary Clinton
Feinstein, Pelosi, Jerry Brown, Jane Fonda, Harvey Milk and Jim Jones all hang in Palo Alto where Jim Jones lived. Hillary didn't say she hung out with Jim Jones but she implies it.
Jimmy Carter had a number of meetings with Jim Jones

This was some left over poisons at Jones town

Adam Kinzinger, humble? The adjective does not fit him well. Accepting, he might be, but humility has nothing to do with it.

Vain accursed turkey cock. Now THERE are some adjectives.

Nasty Pelosi has chosen a committee that will insure that the falsehood of an “insurrection” on January 6th will be maintained. Getting to the bottom of the truth is not the objective.

Most were taken outside.

Only some indicate possible skirmishes with law enforcement to my eyes.

Send Kevin McCoward an email and tell home how you REALLY feel:

McCarthy is either a fool or a traitor and he needs to hear the drums in the jungle night calling for his political banishment. Add your drum to the symphony of rage.

1) pick a ZIP Code from McCarthys California’s 23rd Congressional District. It covers most of Kern and Tulare Counties, and northeastern Los Angeles County. The district includes the cities of Bakersfield, California City, Frazier Park, Kernville, Lake Isabella, Lancaster, Mojave, Porterville, Ridgecrest, Taft, and Tehachapi. The 23rd District also encompasses the Sequoia and Los Padres National Forests.

2) Goto https://www.whitepages.com and find a prominent business person. I used a physician in Lake Isabella: https://www.whitepages.com/business/CA/Lake-Isabella/Physicians

3) Open Kevin McCarthy “send an email” page: https://kevinmccarthy.house.gov/contact/email-me an type in what you really feel.

Here is some other contact info (source: https://medium.com/@BraveNewFilms.org/heres-how-to-contact-all-535-members-of-united-states-congress-call-email-tweet-20b8a1c54195)

"Kinzinger should be expelled from the GOP caucus for this, and removed from all of his other committee seats, or McCarthy is ceding to Nancy Pelosi the right to allocate GOP committee seats to the most “cooperative” GOP members.

if the week Kevin McCarthy allows Pelosi to usurp his power to appoint Republican members on committees then he has become Pelosi's pet monkey and needs to be booted in the GOP primaries in 2022.

Make no mistake, Kevin McCarthy is not required by law, custom, or tradition to accept Pelosi's power grab to take his Committee appointment power away. If Kevin McCarthy capitulates and does not punish the GOP deserters, he is done.

The only solution to Kevin McCarthy’s treasonous subjugation to Nancy Pelosi is to try to boot him in his 2022 GOP primary election of to vote for his leading opponent in the general. We can no longer suffer these “controlled opposition” Bush Crime Family RINOs leading us to aimlessly to defeat.

He needs to lose every penny of GOP money, and be immediately removed from all committee assignments.
