‘Deadly serious’: Pelosi goes to war with GOP over Jan. 6

The volatile former president and Pelosi foe is long gone from the White House but still haunts Capitol Hill. And as much as some in her party might want to move on from Trump, the speaker has made overseeing an investigation of the deadliest attack on the Capitol in two centuries into a core mission this year — putting her squarely in the path of the former president who Democrats say played a central role in the insurrection.

“The facts will take us where we go, not anything else,” Pelosi told the group, according to a source in the room. And with Trump sidelined, Pelosi has been able to shift her focus away from countering his administration’s policies to shielding Congress from what she sees as his dangerous brand of politics, a clash with implications for the institution that will long survive her tenure.

“This is a serious moment,” said Rep. Barbara Lee , who served with Pelosi during 9/11, the last event considered such a major threat to Congress' safety. “She has to get to the bottom of this so it’ll never happen again.” The feeling appears to be mutual. When Pelosi called McCarthy to inform him of her decision to block Jordan and Banks from serving on the panel, she was met with “a wall of screaming,” according to a source familiar with the conversation.For both parties, this week was a reminder that Congress is still in the throes of a painful reckoning over Donald Trump’s hold on the GOP, as the former president’s influence only grows across the campus since his election loss.

Do better.

Deadliest attack? Is politico spreading rumors or propaganda? They can't be serious.

Speaker Pelosi is not 'going to war with the GOP', she is defending The Constitution against enemies foreign and domestic. For fuck's sake, that's what they are in Congress for. Stop it.

People died. People in Congress assisted abetted and led the insurrection. Those that want to gloss over the events of that day are guilty.

She’s 100% on target. To let this go without addressing it, is to invite it to happen again. The next time with more deadly consequences. Those who oppose her efforts were either complicit in the terrorist attack, or at a minimum supported it. SpeakerPelosi
