House Republicans are now balking at the notion of participating in the House's investigation into the riot at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi rejected two of the five Republicans that House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy had chosen to participate in the committee.
During a recent press conference, McCarthy said Republicans will conduct their own investigation into Jan. 6.
"We have law enforcement, we have military, we have doctors, we have people from all walks of life -- they want to know the answer, the American people deserve that," he said.

Unsurprisingly, the GOP's critics on Twitter were a bit skeptical of their offer to investigate themselves.

They could write their report now telling us about how wonderful the insurrectionist were, just like the typical tourists, how they were hugging & kissing police officers.https://twitter.com/atrupar/status/1417908247411953667\u00a0\u2026— Jasper (@Jasper) 1626900742

They don\u2019t need to run an investigation. They\u2019ll just make up whatever they want, repeating whatever the failed former guy tells them to \u201cconclude.\u201dhttps://twitter.com/atrupar/status/1417908247411953667\u00a0\u2026— Landscaping America (@Landscaping America) 1626910669
