House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., announced Wednesday that he would not cooperate with the Jan. 6 committee’s request to discuss (among other things) McCarthy’s conversation with former President Donald Trump while the attack was being carried out. This GOP has put defending its beloved Donald Trump — and potential political gains in the 2022 midterm election — over finding out the truth about Jan. 6. A week after the Jan. 6 attack, McCarthy stood on the House floor and declared that Trump "bears responsibility" for the "attack on Congress by mob rioters." Then there’s Meadows, who was Trump’s chief of staff at the time of the Jan. 6 attack. Too bad he doesn’t feel the same about the American people when it comes to finding answers about the Jan. 6 attack.
