I think that she could have had both of these folks on the committee and they might have had a couple of sound bites. they might have had a couple wins along the way. but ultimately she would have been able to claim this was a truly bipartisan commission. unfortunately, i think that she was in a situation where she was counting on the media to come and defend her no matter what she did and so she throws them off the committee which creates a weird circumstance where jim jordan can be the ranking member on the judiciary commit tt he can t participate in this commission, he s too extreme to go and participate in any way. to me, this is something that actually goes to kevin mccarthy s benefit, he has a legitimate excuse to pull from it and we end up with a partisan commission that nancy pelosi intended to have all along. howie: i m also struck by how conservative pundits immediately supported kevin mccarthy who torpedoed a bipartisan independent commission and wants to keep the spotlight ....
And saying, you know, come on, loving people. i mean, the videotape is there, how east and on howie. and on the other side you had george stephanopoulos an hour ago, he had nancy pelosi and bob portman on both sides of this discussion and portman saying it s not helping if we can t get a committee together. howie: when pelosi says we can t allow the other party of lawmakers who don t believe in the mission, i think there s an amnesia. didn t democrats during the hearings were the house pen ghazi committee benghazi try to undermine the mission. minority parties always play defense on the investigating committees. this is why i think it was a mistake for her to do what she did, because in the sense of trying to keep this as a politically toxic issue going forward, nancy pelosi needs to keep january 6th in the minds of the american people as being ....
Truth. she already knows the outcome, so she doesn t need to bother to have anybody in the minority participate. so why do that? it is a charade. it is a disgrace. it would be an empty exercise if you have people on the committee who are there, simply to blow the thing up and that s what those guys were there to do. what nancy pelosi did today was prove kevin right on everything he s been saying about this from the beginning which is that this is about politics. everybody knows jim jordan is the anti-thesis of the search for truth about the january sixth insurrection. that s why the republicans wanted him on the probe that they oppose, to mess with him. howie: i m struck by how quickly liberal pundits and networks lined up behind pelosi, of course you can t put jim jordan on the committee. obviously the speaker knew she was throwing a grenade that would destroy any faith in bipartisanship here. i think this was another tactical mistake on nancy pelosi s part. ....
Select commit at this committee or how we should investigate it. it should be storely that everyone cares about we are always trying to question fairness. thanks very much. still to come, megyn kelly s twitter war. the buzz beater is next. ....
This round because without any republicans appointed by him, yes, liz cheney is on the committee, it will be easier for the gop to paint this as democratic sheer partisanship. it s confusing, i will say. if the republicans are pushing to be the party of law and order and the party of police, attacking democrats and rightly so about defunding the police if there are voices on the left that are doing it, how can they then be portrayed as being pro-police if they re fighting against the commission where police were brutalized and attacked. i think there s a lot more to go before we see an investigation. howie: ben, liz, thanks very much for joining us. up next, jeff bezos conquers space and rehappens his image. but is the washington post owner living up to his call for civility? civility ....
