Republican Rep. Liz Cheney (Wyo.) on Wednesday blasted House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), claiming that he is working to block an investigation into the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol “at every opportunity.”

“There must be an investigation that is nonpartisan, that is sober, that is serious, that gets to the facts, wherever they may lead," Cheney told reporters outside the Capitol. "And at every opportunity, the minority leader has attempted to prevent the American people from understanding what happened to block this investigation."

Fascinating. Is this usually what elected officials say about their own party leadership?

Wow. I didn’t know there were any honest and brave Repubs left in Congress. She has a brass set; that’s for sure.

...but expecting the Nanshee (or indeed, nearly any Democrat) to produce anything like that is unrealistic.

Most elected officials don't belong -historically at least- to parties that encourage and then cover up for an insurgency, so...

“If Jim Jordan can look away while a coach is molesting wrestlers he should have no problem looking away while MAGAs are molesting the Capitol."

-Kevin McCarthy's brain.

It's not an insurgency if the police let you in the building, you don't have guns, and the one defining moment of your coup is a selfie.

Would you like a link to the gun indictments?

Also, is it your contention that coups could not happen in the era before firearms?

Of course they can but you need weapons of some type. It's not going to work with cell phones and Trump flags.

That’s probably why they brought so many weapons.

And what if they'd managed to find Pence and string him up from the rafters, as they loudly stated they wanted to do? Would that have not been insurrection either? You know, cuz they didn't use guns? What if they'd found the strongbox with the EC counts, and destroyed it? Also not insurrection, I'm guessing?

The GOP mental gymnastics over the seditious extremists in your party is just fascinating to watch. I mean, it's mostly disgusting and profoundly disturbing. But also, fascinating.

Would you characterize pipe bombs, bear spray, knives and the like as "not weapons"?

Did you ever hear of freedom of speech? Wasn't it Obama who said you need to bring a gun to a knife fight. Such rhetorical gymnastics is part and parcel of contemporary politics. Get a grip.

Let's do this one by one:

Pipe bombs -- weapon, or not weapon?

None were found in the Capitol. Unlike the leftist bomb detonation in the Senate building in 1983.

By the nay votes, it looks like PSR righties don't think pipe bombs are weapons. Interesting.
