WASHINGTON, DC – Statement from Facts First President David Brock:
“One of the most dangerous elements of McCarthy’s corrupt bargain to become Speaker was creating an Insurrection Committee to allow MAGA Republicans to continue to attack the institutions of democracy while obstructing investigations into their complicity in January 6th.
“This committee is a combustible mix of dangerous conspiracy theories empowered with a Congressional gavel and subpoena power because of Kevin McCarthy’s surrender to MAGA.
“From Oklahoma City to January 6th there is a long history of anti-government rhetoric from the right leading to violence and there is a very real danger this committee could get more people killed.”
