Republican House leaders on Tuesday accused Speaker Nancy Pelosi of putting together a partisan committee to investigate the Jan. 6 Capitol riots to press her narrative of events that day and to cover up her role in security lapses involving the Capitol Police. “Two questions for this entire committee should be: Why were we so ill prepared for that day? And how can we make sure this never happens again?” House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) said at a Capitol press conference an hour before the select committee was scheduled to begin its first hearing. “And that’s what should drive the committee. If there may be buildup before that day that you’re going to have to investigate, Speaker Pelosi worked six months trying to make sure that would never happen,” he said, adding that the panel will not investigate the killing of a Capitol Police officer in April when he was rammed by a car. #Pelosi #CapitolRiots #NewYorkPost The New York Post is your source for breaking news, news about New York, sports, business, entertainment, opinion, real estate, culture, fashion, and more.
