So much for that whole GOP "looking forward" thing

Tweet

The hypocrisy is astounding. When Trump suddenly pardoned 1500+ January 6 rioters (many of whom violently attacked US Capitol and DC Metro police officers) on Monday Republican members of Congress didn't want to talk about it and they were all "we are looking forward" and "it is the president's right to do that". Okay. Fine. Well now the GOP-led House has announced that it will be investigating the pardons that Biden gave to his family members. (wait--I thought it was his right??) Speaker Mike Johnson announced today that they are forming a new January 6 committee to investigate. . . the former January 6 House Select Committee. (wait--I thought they were looking forward?) Their new talking point about the pardoning of violent thugs who attacked the US Capitol and law enforcement is that they have served long enough time in prison. (wait--I thought they backed the blue?) This all has happened in like the past 2 days since Trump was afraid of publicly signing the pardons and he did it in the middle of the night. The Republicans literally changed their tune over the course of 48 hours. Do they think that normal SANE Americans don't have a working short-term memory? It would be hilarious if it wasn't so pathetic.
