Oregon House Republicans, Sen. Knopp take issue with state GOP’s ‘false flag’ claims
SALEM, Ore. (KTVZ) The Oregon House Republican Caucus released the following statement Wednesday in response to the recently adopted Oregon Republican Party resolution labeling the Jan. 6 Capitol Hill takeover in Washington, D.C. a “false flag” operation.
“Elected House Republicans are focused on representing our constituents. Oregon is in crisis. Vaccines are not going to our most vulnerable, our students are still not in a safe classroom setting, main street businesses are in a tailspin, our health data is a mess and here we are, talking about a political party resolution. There is no credible evidence to support false flag claims.
Legislature opens 2021 session with a heavy infusion of reality
Ritual and rhetoric are subdued; members of color reach historic high in Oregon.
The new Oregon Legislature was light on the usual ritual and rhetoric during its opening day on Monday, Jan. 11 though they were present but heavy on the realities that have reshaped state politics during the past year.
All 60 representatives and 17 new senators took their oaths from Chief Justice Martha Walters. But unlike typical opening days which have been compared to the first day of school staff, families and friends were largely absent from the Capitol in Salem because of social distancing due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
