House member named to 'committee on insurrection protection'

I wanna know what went down with Bill Barr, John Durham, and the Italian government? These crooks need to be held accountable!

[jroysims]

I always thought Stacey Plaskett had a good head on her shoulders.
I'm not wrong.

The Democrats are gonna make mincemeat out of the chair and the other members

Gym Jordan creating a committee to keep OSU wrestlers safe from predatory coaches.

How many Trump supporters does it take to change a lightbulb?
None. Trump says it’s changed and his supporters all cheer in the dark.

[cboyoc]

She speaks so intelligently and makes complete sense.

Because of the Adults Survivors Act That just recently passed in 2019 shouldn't all those students
who were molested in front of Jim Jordan file a class Action Law Suit against him.

The suspects investigating the investigators. Interesting!

[emilypenfield]

Del. Placket is so articulate. It's a pleasure to listen to someone who is clear-headed rather than Reps. who have no commend of their own language let alone any understanding of what their job really is.

A fine lady. Here’s wishing her a long and productive career.

The Fascist GOP want to cover & shut down any possibility of getting justice for all those Seditionists in GOP Congress!!!

[donovantucker]

I have a feeling Kevin McQop will object to just one nominee.

[Iseerightthruyou]

Republicans:
We are going to start a committee to Investigate the investigators of the insurrection, we supported, and we are going to put potential insurrectionists on that panel"

Democrats:
"Great we will take the win you're going to so generously give us in 2024"

[Acer_Maximinus]

GQP: “We are against weaponizing the government!”
Same day, GQP forms a new House committee in order to weaponize the government.🙄

[melanatedone]

Looks like the GOP are Barking up the wrong tree

[suzannesanchez]

I am so happy and feel a sense of empowerment that Hakeem Jeffries has directed this Democratic committee to prevent further waste and harm from the Republican insurrectionist committee that seeks more and more revenge. Thank you, Congressman Hakeem Jeffries 🙏

[brendajones]

You have a title congressional leader from your district cease with the mean less slogan titles 🎯 We hope and do expect for you and the other party congressional leaders to serve in your best efforts on this committee .💜☦️🛐

[mr.m]

Congress is like high school for adults.

[barryzeeberg]

She is very well spoken, hope that the Republican criminals do not find away to stifle her team.
