‘I’ve covered Washington for more than 50 years’: Brit Hume Trashes Jan 6 Committee

Case in point:

I’ve covered Washington for more than 50 years, including 11 years covering Congress specifically. I’ve never seen a committee all of whose members were chosen by one party, and where there is no cross-examination or any attempt to present both sides. https://t.co/7bjCm3O9Ez

This is the Nance Pelosi show and we all know it. She deliberately chose two Republicans she knew would push her narrative so they and the media could push the notion that it’s a BIPARTISAN committee.

And Americans can see it is anything but …

Cue the January 6 Committee defenders:

.@brithume could have covered Washington for 240 years and not seen a president challenge the lawful transfer of power in this way, nor seen members of Congress let institutional responsibilities be so eclipsed by devotion to/fear of a cult of personality. https://t.co/jhTzRhpR2T

What a poor justification for discarding all Congressional precedent and norms in investigating Trump’s disgraceful post-election behavior. https://t.co/JEoP8esFnV

You may have forgotten that republicans had the opportunity to be represented but chose not to be serious about their representation!
If this needs to be compared to a legal proceeding to be accepted than it is t is like a grand jury where their is no adversarial representation!

Being “serious about their representation” is a lovely euphemism for being allowed to appoint only members acceptable to Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats. https://t.co/87ywOMETGe
