Little Marco Says Aim of Jan. 6 Probe to 'Harass' Republicans

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Representative Adam Kinzinger, an Illinois Republican, knocked Senator Marco Rubio, a Florida Republican, after the latter argued that the House select committee investigating the pro-Trump January 6, 2021 attack against the U.S. Capitol aims to "smear" and "harass" Republicans.

Kinzinger, a staunch critic of former President Donald Trump, serves as one of two Republicans on the January 6 commission—the other being Representative Liz Cheney of Wyoming. Both representatives were formally censured by the Republican National Committee (RNC) on Friday due to their opposition to Trump and their involvement with the investigatory body.

The censure resolution drew controversy—including from some Republicans and conservative independents—as it said that Kinzinger and Cheney were involved with opposing "legitimate political discourse." Many interpreted that line of the resolution as suggesting the pro-Trump riot targeting the federal legislative branch of government fit that definition. Rubio was asked about the RNC censure vote and the term during an interview with CBS News' Face the Nation on Sunday.

"Does the RNC speak for you when it says that this is a Democrat-led persecution of ordinary citizens engaged in legitimate political discourse. Was January 6th legitimate political discourse?" host Margaret Brennan asked the GOP senator.

1. Geez whiz . ..

The GQP unbearable excuses continue, and they are always the victim no matter how psychoville it is.

2. I can understand his perspective

because John Gotti was vocal about how the federal investigators in NYC were only out to harrass him and those who supported him. It's a common theme among mob bosses when the game enters the 4th quarter.

3. Can't handle it, too bad, little marco.

[struggle4progress]

4. "Today they're persecuting window-smashing mobs! What's next?

Persecuting people who use ANFO to blow up federal buildings? What's happening to our constitutional rights?"

[Mr. Ected]

5. If the shoe fits, you're full of shit

Marco can't differentiate between actual political harassment (e.g.., Hillary Clinton) and the investigation of countless crimes.

Pretending none of this was criminal is a desperation move, nothing else.

[Sneederbunk]

6. The aim of Jan. 6 was to harass Congress.

[Deuxcents]

7. Rubio's last grasp..

Val Demings is closing in. I’ll work to make it happen.

[Mr.Bill]

8. Wrong, Marco,

the aim is to convict republicans.

[Emile]

9. Still kissing Trumps ass.

[Bettie]

10. So, we'll soon be hearing his apology

about "But her emails" and Benghazi? Seems only right, if he's going after political persecutions.

[Septua]

11. "Was January 6th legitimate political discourse?" Rubio was asked.

I saw the interview. He never answered the question...none of 'em will answer the question.

[Stinky The Clown]

12. Little Marco was on with Margaret Brennan this morning. He came off like a weasel.

[Skittles]

13. these repukes question the patriotism of kneeling football players

REPUKES CAN FUCK RIGHT OFF

[Emile]

14. Funny, that subject came up with my wife's aunt. She said

they were disrespectful for kneeling. I looked at my wife and apologized for kneeling when I asked her to marry me. She looked at me with the look please. .

[Skittles]

15. tell your aunt-in-law it is disrespectful to beat a cop with a flag pole

in fact, it is downright CRIMINAL; yes INDEED

[Emile]

16. Good point!

[canetoad]

17. Little dick nt

[gratuitous]

18. Just like the FBI harasses bank robbers and mail thieves, Senator

Your little buddies committed numerous crimes; they're going to do some time.
