Summary

House Republicans, led by Speaker Mike Johnson, announced a new subcommittee to investigate the January 6 attack, aiming to challenge findings that held Donald Trump responsible.

Chaired by Rep. Barry Loudermilk, the panel seeks to reframe the riot as a result of intelligence and security failures, not deliberate violence.

This follows Trump’s sweeping pardons for all January 6 defendants, including those convicted of violence.

Critics warn these actions could encourage political violence, while Republicans claim they aim to “uncover the full truth.”

    Fuck… Most of it was on video, because most of the Capitol has surveillance cameras. We watched it happen, live on TV.

    The fact any of these vultures still have a job trying to claim otherwise just shows how effective Republican propaganda is.
