WASHINGTON (The Borowitz
Report<http://www.newyorker.com/humor/borowitz-report>)—Casting a dark cloud
over the select committee investigating the January 6th insurrection,
congressional Republicans protested, in no uncertain terms, the panel’s “utter
lack of rioters.”
Leading the charge was House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, who called the
commission “little more than a gussied-up festival of anti-riot propaganda.”
“Nancy Pelosi’s handpicked Democratic panel members all have one thing in
common: none of them took part in the riot,” McCarthy said. “Without an equal
number of rioters on the panel, we’ll never get to hear both sides of this
thing.”

McCarthy said that he had drawn up a list of potential rioters to serve on the
commission, including the “QAnon Shaman,” Jake Angeli.
“I’ve spoken to the Shaman, and he’s up for it,” McCarthy said. “He just got
his fur pelts dry-cleaned.”
The House Minority Leader warned Pelosi against proceeding with the commission
if it had no rioter representation. “It could have a chilling effect on all
future riots,” he said.
