Listen To The Full Interview Below:

Andrew McCarthy, Fox News Contributor, and former Assistant U.S. Attorney For Southern District Of NY joined Fox News Radio’s Guy Benson Show to react to Speaker Pelosi rejecting GOP picks for the January 6th committee.

McCarthy said,
“Well, I was against the commission guy because I think Congress you know, I’m really kind of tired of our new idea of representative democracy being that we elect people to Congress so that they can go on television and tell everyone how bad everything is while they delegate all their authorities to commissions and courts and bureaucracies. I think that’s what we have Congress for. I don’t have fond memories of some people do of the 9/11 Commission. I think that was a spectacle. And I also thought that the reason Pelosi wanted to have a commission was to continue the Democrats political narrative. Comparing what I agree with you was a disgraceful event in American history, the capital riot with 9/11, which it simply wasn’t. So I was not in favor of the commission. I also think that an attack on Congress on Congress’s own turf, I mean, if this happened under other circumstances, it would be appropriate for Congress to investigate. I can’t think of anything that would be more appropriate, more legitimate for Congress to investigate. You can’t get rid of politics in politics. So they are going to obviously politicize things that they should legitimately be investigating. That’s the that’s the way things go. We’re all supposed to be adults and try to straighten out the hyperbole and listen to the arguments on both sides and figure out what the truth is. That’s what we that’s what our system generally does. So I think this is a comedy of errors from the beginning. To me, it’s a terrible mistake strategically on the Republican’s part to put people on a legitimate committee who will see their jobs as defending the indefensible. Which is President Trump’s activities in that two month period leading up to January six, I don’t see when the Republicans should be moving on to the Biden agenda and why it’s awful for the country to continue to litigate the 2020 election makes no sense to me. On the other hand, McCarthy has the right to be wrong. He’s got the right to make a mistake. And I don’t think Pelosi had any business mixing the people that he wanted to put on the committee.”
