John Rose said "Tonight, will be the last scheduled meeting of the partisan Committee on January 6th. As my neighbors in middle Tennessee struggle with the skyrocketing cost of living, I can't help but think Congress' time and energy should be focused on the issues on most Americans' minds, not another political witch hunt. If the committee had any legitimacy, it would allow Leader McCarthy to seek the Republicans of his choosing. Speaker Pelosi made the unprecedented decision to not do so. If it had any legitimacy, the committee would be investigating what caused the events to unfold that day, what led to the breach of security, and what can we do to learn from these failures to prepare for the future. Unfortunately, I don't think the committee has done its job to ask these important questions. Tennesseans are smart and see this process as what it is: a partisan witch hunt in the form of a sham investigation. ___________________
