This committee is unconstitutional, it is illegitimate. It was not put together according to the rules of the House. It does not serve any true legislative or oversight purpose and it is not about finding out why Nancy Pelosi left the Capitol so ill prepared that day.\u201d\u2018<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">&#8220;While Democrats obsess over this illegitimate hearing, House Republicans will be setting the record straight and telling the truth about lame-duck Speaker Pelosi\u2019s sham political witch-hunt.&#8221; \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RepStefanik?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@RepStefanik<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/gOmP9fvOiE\">pic.twitter.com\/gOmP9fvOiE<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 House Republicans (@HouseGOP) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/HouseGOP\/status\/1534550416393895936?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 8, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>House Minority Whip Steve Scalise called out Pelosi for continuing to politicize January 6 while ignoring the several crisis Americans are facing, including high gas prices, high inflation and the southern border crisis.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cFentanyl\u2026you wanna talk about deaths among young kids, thousands of young kids have died from fentanyl that\u2019s come across our southern border last year alone,\u201d said Scalise. \u201cOver 100,000 American last year died from the opioids that are coming across our open southern border. We can do something about that today and unfortunately there\u2019s no legislation that Speaker Pelsoi will bring to secure our southern border.
