WASHINGTON — They were deeply involved in President Donald J. Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election results. They have come to the defense of people being prosecuted for participating in the deadly storming of the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. Some have called for violence against their political enemies online, embraced conspiracy theories or associated with white supremacists.

Several of the most extreme Republicans in Congress and those most closely allied with Mr. Trump have landed seats on the Oversight and Accountability Committee, the main investigative organ in the House. From that perch, they are poised to shape inquiries into the Biden administration and to serve as agents of Mr. Trump in litigating his grievances as he plots his re-election campaign.

It's only going to serve to drag the GOP brand down further when these chucle-heads start posturing instead of legislating. Chances are they're going to shut down the gov't rather than address the debt ceiling. I hope they don't because people will suffer and America's image will as well. But if they do, it will only help the Dems politically.

:cool:
 
MTG said she would have won the 1/6 attack on the Capitol if she organized it. And she's serving on Homeland Security.

These are weird times.
