House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's handpicked committee to review the Jan. 6 violence at the U.S. Capitol, where unruly crowds of supporters of President Trump, and possibly radicals who opposed him, broke windows and doors at the building to enter and vandalize some rooms, met this week.
Several police officers testified how they were subjected to "Terrorists" during the hours of conflict, the points raised echoed the Democrat Party's talking points for the last six months including the long-debunked claim that a police officer died "In the line of duty," and two "Pelosi Republicans" on the team called it a "Coup" and blamed President Trump.
U.S. Rep. Jim Jordan said, he would have asked questions that Democrats likely did not want to hear.
"The real question is, and I've said this many times, why weren't those guys who testified today and all the other Capitol Hill police who protect us and protect Capitol Hill, why weren't they given more help? Why wasn't more help there that day? And the only person who can answer that question is the speaker of the United States House of Representatives. And I think she thought we were going to keep raising that question and that's why she didn't put me on," he explained.
Does Nancy Pelosi bear any responsibility for the Jan. 6 violence at the Capitol?
When Capitol Police officer Harry Dunn said law enforcement was not prepared for the aggressiveness and violence of some of the Capitol rioters, York explained, "Committee members did not follow up on Dunn's statement. Did Dunn's colleagues at the witness table agree with him? How could such a lack of preparation have happened? The committee did not ask. But there is no doubt that Jordan, were he a member of the committee and present for the hearing, would have followed up."
Jordan later told York had he been allowed to participate, he would have told police officers: "You guys deserved to have more people there to help you that day. That is the fundamental question - why wasn't there a proper security posture? I would have said, 'You deserve better. You protect us. You all deserved to have this place with the kind of support and reinforcements you needed to safeguard the Capitol.'".
