Hartzler: Pelosi’s Illegitimate Committee Distracts From Democrats’ Legitimate Crises

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Congresswoman Vicky Hartzler (R-Mo.) issued the following statement regarding this evening’s January 6 Committee hearing:

“While American families struggle to make ends meet, fear for their safety in crime-rampant communities, and are inflicted by the record amounts of drugs funneled across our southern border, Speaker Pelosi and her Democrat colleagues are busy ignoring the needs of the people in favor of a partisan and illegitimate committee weaponized to solely attack former President Trump.

Not only were multiple Republicans barred from serving on the committee, but Speaker Pelosi has refused to investigate her own dereliction of duty which resulted in our beacon of democracy being ill-equipped and ill-prepared to handle the events of the day.

This evening’s sham of a hearing further confirms that Democrats aren’t interested in solving any of President Biden’s many self-inflicted crises, but are still suffering from a severe case of Trump Derangement Syndrome.”
