With none of the assclowns making a spectacle of lies and insults. I think this move by Pelosi and by McCarthy work 100% in the favor of truth and therefore in the favor of Democrats.

but I do agree with her here. Perhaps another 5 Republicans will volunteer for the commission. I know they're out there, I just don't know if they're ready to risk their lives against TFG's unhinged fan club.

McCarthy's willingness to turn this into a circus side show demonstrates his unfitness for office.

Every time that any media (especially right wing media) shows any clips from her blasting Trump, the voiceover and accompanying chyron will say REPUBLICAN Liz Cheney. That will really piss off Trump and McCarthy.

congressman put it "it may not be in their best interest to be part of the committee", what cowards these republicans are, they don't have the guts or the principles to do the right thing.

My prediction is that Liz Chaney is going to come out of this as a star, and that all the other cowards who are not willing to be part of it will suffer. I hope I am right.

McCarthy is VERY scared, he must have his foot, maybe his leg, deep into the insurrection.
