The former guy has again put the GOP in a lousy situation: They can't risk angering him by backing the Jan 6 Committee, and their cowardice may make things even worse for them.
At least with an even-numbered, bipartisan committee they could have controlled some of what took place and what was released. But if Pelosi puts together a select committee, and they find irrefutable evidence that harms the GOP, the Trumpsters will just have to bend over and take it.
Oh well. Another example of what happens when you choose to sell your soul to a weak man who cares nothing about you.
Embarrassed Republican Max Boot (now most likely a an evil Hitler commie in the eyes of the cult) makes good points here, including gung ho the GQP was with its Benghazi "investigations":
Vichy Mac, there's no good reason for the GOP to support a Jan 6 commission. Trump's supporters have already convinced themselves it was staged.
After 50 years of Pandering to the Bigots, the GOP finds itself held hostage. The best they can hope for is that Trump loses interest in politics in the next four years and they can go back to business as usual.
