McCarthy seemed to believe he was punishing House Democrats in his refusal to participate in the Jan. 6 commission. If he’d only thought ahead a bit more, he would have realized he was doing far more harm to his own party. - MaddowBlog

When Democrats agreed to Republican’s terms anyway, McCarthy refused to take “yes” for an answer andAt that point, lawmakers moved on to Plan B: They’d create a bipartisan, special select committee to uncover the facts that McCarthy

Pelosi offered him an opportunity to have three far-right Republicans participate in this investigation. He instead chose to have zero. For another, McCarthy’s decision has left the rest of the Republican conference completely in the dark. Ahead of the hearings, the GOP didn't know what the committee had, couldn't prepare competent defenses for Trump, couldn’t influence the direction of the investigation, couldn’t ask contrary questions during public or private proceedings, couldn’t leak anything, and couldn’t dilute the panel’s findings in advance of a final report that’s expected in September.

MaddowBlog I don’t believe this—sorry

MaddowBlog Somebody want to inform MSNBC it's July 4th weekend and some patriotic news about 🇺🇸 is a good idea to do? Or is the entire audience of MSNBC nothing but a bunch of blowviating Anti-American sympathizers?

MaddowBlog Republicans blame McCarthy for not putting obstructionist on the panel, and letting the truth get out. Trump is guilty. Republicans policy, lies, obstruction, hypocrisy and more lies. Follow by doing nothing. Vote Republicans Out.

MaddowBlog A great platform that can make everybody smile, for my first time hearing about making money online, I thought is fake but when I try it I realise that is real so I won’t keep silent I need everyone to smile like me, Mike_Rosehart

MaddowBlog After 9-11 the USA similarly asked the Taliban to sit on the Commission . They refused.

MaddowBlog Not really, No one gives a sh

MaddowBlog May the party sponsered by Vladimir Putin, eat each other alive.

MaddowBlog The dumb leading the dumb.

MaddowBlog O Dear, O Dear and O Dear.///

MaddowBlog Shoot! All of the derilicts including RepStefanik and stevescalise followed his suit after Trump ill fated input.

MaddowBlog Think, are you kidding. He just knows how to kiss ass.

MaddowBlog IDK. Maybe he did it on purpose because he knew the MAGA cult was coming for his potential Speaker job?

MaddowBlog He more than likely never attended an actual functioning government hearing.

MaddowBlog why would they entertain such a frivolous hearing? it's been established by the fbi there was no insurrection or coup.

MaddowBlog Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Instant self gratification and the 'I want my ice cream NOW' kicks in - just like children having a trantrum. Lust for power corrupts everything fine in a man -integrity, compassion, logic, self worth, principle and even intelligence! For what?

MaddowBlog “Thought ahead a bit more”… lol. Yeah. True of all Rs at this point.

MaddowBlog On the other hand, he was only doing EXACTLY what his orange master told him to do.

MaddowBlog He missed a golden opportunity for the GOP to turn the J6 committee into congressional purgatory… so SCOTUS had to take the lead.

MaddowBlog Irony is beautiful.

MaddowBlog So, Trump attempts to delegitimize election of Executive Branch JAN 6th;Biden/Dems now attempt to delegitimize Judicial Branch/Supreme Court—only one Branch left, the Legislative Branch and they pretty much delegitimize themselves daily.

MaddowBlog Your POTUS, WTF.

MaddowBlog More Lieing Liberal Dem CNN and MSNBC Fake news BS

MaddowBlog McCarthy isn’t very bright

MaddowBlog Yes, Russia was helping Joe win.

MaddowBlog Dumba$$!

MaddowBlog McCarthy believed no such thing. Remember the conversations he had with Wyomings Cheney. He is not on Trumps side.

MaddowBlog This Kevin McCarthy?

nana4MANY MaddowBlog Who wants to bet Trump ordered McCarthy to pull out of the J6 Committee? And is now blaming McCarthy for making the bad decision of listening to him?

MaddowBlog Ok, was this before or after TGF made the comment ditching the J6 Committee was the Minority Leader's big mistake! I guess McCarthy will be taking a trip to Florida to kiss TGF's ass and grovel a whole lot!

MaddowBlog I Love MSNBC but why not ask McCarthy why the change from saying 'the President deserves blame' to I'm not going to cooperate with the J6 committee?

MaddowBlog Moscow show trial

MaddowBlog McCarthy doesn't think, he reacts...usually badly.

MaddowBlog Depending on who McCarthy put on Committee...would they have been more of an interruption than fact finding.

MaddowBlog I haven’t talked to one person who has changed their minds due to J6 hearings. I don’t know of anyone who is even watching them.

MaddowBlog He needs to go down. I mean down down. Not just on trump.

rolandsmartin MaddowBlog Can you imagine how they would have treated Shaye Moss and her mother had they been on the committee?

MaddowBlog Too old to open from sky. the offspring no can be high quality. Fears killed by darkness.

MaddowBlog He tried to put Trump loyalists on the committee. They were rejected so he decided no one would be on. God bless Liz and Adam. True patriotism.

MaddowBlog Another fine example of what can happen when an individual's intellectual firmware is limited.

MaddowBlog AWeissmann_ has been missing from MSNBC and Twitter for a year, I’m hoping he got called back by DOJgov to work on cases involving tfg & his accomplices JusticeMatters

MaddowBlog Something about the Pelosi clown vetoing 2 Republicans violating House Select Committee appointment rules?

MaddowBlog This isn’t changing anyone’s mind. The Trump group won’t even watch, and libs will vote for Biden or Harris. The midterms will be a huge red pick up in Congress, because of all the things this Congress has totally screwed up
