JANUARY 6 INVESTIGATION
(Mr. ROSE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. ROSE. Madam Speaker, 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.
