the election results. but pelosi says that s not a disqualifier for serving on the committee. do you think it should be? you know, i don t. i think if leader mccarthy didn t appoint some of those members, then this commission would have this committee would have no chance of success. look, i think it s totally valid, the republicans are now saying this isn t about donald trump or inciting riots or violence from people not accepting the election. this shouldn t be all about why didn t nancy pelosi provide enough security at the house. both issues are going to be important and they should investigate both issues. why are the rioters incited and how did that happen? and does the capitol have enough security? so, i think, i hope it s not a circus. i think jim jordan on there is the most troublesome. that congressman has a tendency to play to the camera s every moment.
