‘Enough of This Crap’: Former GOP Rep. Goes Off on Opposition to ‘Absolutely Friggin Necessary’ 1/6 Investigation

 



Former Republican Congressman Denver Riggleman went off Friday night on GOP opposition to investigating the events of January 6th.

Riggleman was on CNN reacting to an individual who reportedly breached the Capitol on January 6th accompanying several Republican congressmembers on a border trip this week.

Riggleman told CNN’s John Berman he didn’t understand why any elected official would be “swapping air molecules” with someone like that.

He said this really shows how “we need to find out how this disinformation spreads, we need a committee or a commission.”

The 1/6 select committee is moving forward, after Senate Republicans rejected an independent commission just a few weeks ago.

Berman asked Riggleman if Kevin McCarthy will try to “muck up” this committee.

Riggleman said McCarthy is “going to have to make fun of it” and attack it as partisan to discredit it.

It is time for us, for Americans to do something to find out in analysis what happened on January 6th, how it happened. And we need to go back a year or two. We need to actually get everybody in the same room — domestic individuals, transnational threats… We need to look at the gaps and the priorities that we need to actually look at that law enforcement didn’t have time to do to see why this happened. This is absolutely friggin’ necessary.

He expressed astonishment that there are still “individuals pushing back on that” and added, “Enough of this crap… I’m frustrated based on my background in intel because I know we can figure this out.”

You can watch above, via CNN.
