The Jan. 6 House Select Committee's unanimous vote to subpoena former President Donald Trump was blasted by House GOP members Thursday.
"Today's subpoena of President Donald J. Trump less than one month from the midterm elections is a desperate political ploy by Democrats and their mainstream media stenographer allies," House Republican Conference Chair Rep. Elise Stefanik of New York wrote in a statement, The Hill reported.
"The American people are smart and the Democrats' abuse of power will only energize the American people to fire Nancy Pelosi once and for all and deliver a red tsunami that will elect a historic Republican majority to hold Joe Biden accountable."
Trump's former White House doctor, Rep. Ronny Jackson, R-Texas, tweeted his rebuke.
"The January 6th Committee is out of control!" he wrote on Twitter. "Subpoenaing President Trump is a disgrace! They want to destroy Trump and every one of his supporters! They'll stop at nothing. We must beat them in November!!"
Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., tweeted the committee was "illegitimate" and a "political hatchet committee."
"The illegitimate January 6 Committee's vote to subpoena President Trump is a political hatchet job read by a political hatchet committee," Biggs wrote on Twitter. "This committee is illegitimately formed, in violation of House rules, and is organized to search and destroy perceived political enemies."
Trump called out the timing of the subpoena, noting the "unselect committee" only subpoenaed him at the end because it was a "bust."

"Why didn't the Unselect Committee ask me to testify months ago?" Trump wrote in his rebuke on Truth Social. "Why did they wait until the very end, the final moments of their last meeting? Because the committee is a total 'bust' that has only served to further divide our country which, by the way, is doing very badly — a laughing stock all over the world?"
The Subpoena was delivered by a Kangaroo.
What a spirited and sternly-worded response.
Stupid mitch McConnell could have put a stop to these endless witch hunts if they had sent back the first article of impeachment saying there was no actual crime committed so it was a “no bill”.
Asked them to cite statutes and inform them he was not going to hold a trial for the president doing his job.
“Why didn’t the Unselect Committee ask me to testify months ago?”
They probably were hoping it would be more effective closer to the elections.
There is considerable risk here for President Trump. Since the Dems are desperate, I would *expect* them to do one or more of the following:
1) Letting each and every member berate him for like a half hour. Rants with no rebuttal permitted.
2) Opening the gallery to every unhinged howler monkey radical who wants to attend. Allow them their banners and screams, and to throw objects.
3) Use the climax of the show for a prepared indictment by Garland for *serious* charges. They might even bring in a troupe of rotten cops to arrest him right there.
Remember the Democrat slogan, “The evidence doesn’t matter, only the seriousness of the charges!”
4) Last but not least, the presentation before congress of a resolution or law that would prohibit President Trump for ever running for public office again.
Perfect
Perfect
Can’t wait till January when the republicans investigate this with the same seriousness and intensity they gave to O’bungholeCare
About time they denounced it. I have to wonder what the hold up is/was.
Call it what it is a Stalinist show trail with a predetermined outcome!
Yep. What's going to happen is that the media will scream for Republicans to "Move On" and start "working with Democrats for the people."
Funny, sad, and true!
The people want a real investigation into the J6 fedsurrection.
We want Pelosi under oath. The Mayor under oath.
And we want Ashley Babbit’s murderer arrested.
