Let’s talk about the Democrats’ ongoing ability to miss the forest for the trees. Chairman Barry Loudermilk’s latest report on the Jan. 6 Select Committee reveals that the panel’s real goal wasn’t improving Capitol security. Instead, it was about hammering home a carefully constructed narrative blaming Donald Trump for the Capitol breach. Spoiler alert: the Capitol isn’t any safer today than it was before their witch hunt began.
Loudermilk’s Oversight Subcommittee uncovered glaring failures. Instead of tackling the security screw-ups that let the breach happen, the committee zeroed in on spinning a narrative that made Trump the ultimate villain. Security issues? Please. They shoved those aside, leaving the Capitol wide open for a repeat disaster.
The Jan. 6 Committee, spearheaded by Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) and Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), spent its resources choreographing public hearings to villainize Trump. Meanwhile, legitimate issues—like ignored warnings about potential violence and the mysterious pipe bomber—got swept under the rug.
Take Cassidy Hutchinson, the committee’s so-called star witness. After swapping out her lawyer—on Liz Cheney’s suggestion, no less—her testimony magically “evolved.” Suddenly, we got the now-infamous “Trump grabbed the wheel” tale, which, surprise, surprise, the Secret Service quickly debunked. Smells a lot like witness coaching, doesn’t it? Loudermilk’s report even suggests this cozy relationship between Cheney and Hutchinson might constitute witness tampering.
After Republicans took control of Congress in 2022, over a terabyte of data—documents, transcripts, video evidence—disappeared; it literally went poof. Yet, Democrats want us to trust their “tremendous weight of evidence”?
Even Nancy Pelosi couldn’t keep her hands clean. In recently released footage, she admits her party’s failure to secure the Capitol: “We have responsibility.” According to Loudermilk, the video captures Pelosi stepping into a leadership role, admitting it was her job as Speaker of the House to protect Members of Congress—not just on Jan. 6, but every day.
You’re not alone if you’re wondering why the National Guard wasn’t there sooner. Trump ordered their deployment three days before the riot, but Pentagon officials had other ideas. Pelosi herself was well aware of the potential dangers and failed to act.
Bottom line: While the Democrats were busy crafting their narrative, they left the Capitol exposed, brushed off major security failures, and conveniently deleted evidence.
