Jim Banks of Indiana and Jim Jordan of Ohio heavily criticized Democrats for focusing so much energy on the Capitol Riot while Americans look for solutions to \u201cthe problems that we face on a daily basis.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHouse Democrats have no agenda for Americans and no real solutions to the problems that we face on a daily basis,\u201d Stefanik said. \u201cInstead, Democrats are scrambling to change the headlines, hoping that the nation will focus on the partisan witch hunt that you will see this week instead of our pocketbooks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s [a] partisan production,\u201d Jordan said in a phone interview with The Daily Wire following the call. The Ohio Republican\u00a0pointed to news that the\u00a0committee had hired the former president of ABC News, James Goldston, to promote its findings as a \u201cblockbuster investigative special,\u201d according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/newsletters\/axios-am-047a583d-c615-4c68-8351-eb4cf5698698.html?chunk=0&#038;utm_term=twsocialshare#story0\">Axios<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey went out and hired the former president of ABC News to choreograph a documentary,\u201d Jordan said. \u201cAnd then, of course, their very first witness is a documentarian.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt just highlights how partisan this thing is,\u201d he added. \u201cThey told us what the goal is. It\u2019s to end the Electoral College and stop President Trump from ever running for president again. And they\u2019re so focused on that. And it\u2019s a further weaponization of government against conservatives and against your political opponents.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Republicans plan to counter such programming through media appearances centering on problems that Americans are actually focused on, leaders said during the press call on Tuesday. Fox News <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2022\/06\/07\/business\/media\/fox-jan-6-hearings.html\">has announced<\/a> that it will air Tucker Carlson\u2019s and Sean Hannity\u2019s primetime shows rather than the hearings, though it will air the hearings on its sister network, Fox Business.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSuch an amateur move on their parts to try to compete with Tucker Carlson,\u201d Banks said on Tuesday. \u201cHis show is going to be the most watched show he\u2019s probably ever had. And the rest of the networks are going to watch that and follow course. When they see Fox break records in viewership, they\u2019re not going to keep carrying these ridiculous committee hearings on primetime.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Banks said that Republicans are putting the finishing touches on their report and have interviewed dozens of people, including whistleblowers related to Capitol Security.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have some real findings,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Banks laid out a number of questions that he would have liked to ask those investigated by the January 6 committee, noting that the few Republicans on the Democrat-led committee \u2014 Republican Wyoming\u00a0Rep. Liz Cheney and Republican Illinois Rep. Adam Kinzinger \u2014 have not asked any of these questions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey don\u2019t want to hear the answers because it uncovers a number of facts about what happened at the Capitol that day and what could have been done to prevent the riot at the Capitol,\u201d Banks warned.<\/p>\n<p>Jordan\u2019s biggest concern is that Republicans do not have the ability to cross-examine witnesses.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is just completely one sided,\u201d he said. Jordan called the impeachment process of former President Donald Trump \u201cterrible and completely unfair,\u201d noting that it was largely carried out in secret.<\/p>\n<p>He added: \u201cBut at least the secret hearings and and depositions in the bunker in the basement of the Capitol, at least we were in the room. At least we got to depose a witness. And then in the public hearings, we got to cross-examine the witnesses that the Democrats called in.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn this situation, none of that can happen because Nancy Pelosi made the choice that she was not going to let the Republican leader put on the committee the individual he had selected,\u201d Jordan said grimly. \u201cFirst time in history. So Leader McCarthy was left with no option but to say, well, we just can\u2019t have anyone on that committee.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Asked how the focus on the January 6 hearings will play into the midterm elections, Jordan predicted that it is \u201cultimately the call of the American people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI always think the American people have common sense and they\u2019re smart and they\u2019re figuring it out,\u201d he said. \u201cBut I do know that the Democrats have nothing else to talk about. So, they\u2019re going to focus on this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat are they going to talk about?\u201d he asked. \u201cThe border that\u2019s no longer a border? The secure border we had under President Trump and the chaos we have now? We used to have relatively safe streets and now we get record levels of crime. They\u2019re going to talk about the 41 year high inflation? They\u2019re going to talk about record gas prices and the disastrous energy policy of this administration? They\u2019re going to talk about, you know, the attacks Democrats have done on the First Amendment, Second Amendment \u2026 are they going to have<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Top Republicans shared that they plan to combat the \u201cpartisan production\u201d that is Thursday\u2019s Democrat-led hearing showcasing the findings of the January 6 committee investigating the Capitol Riot.
