congressman meijer, thank you so much for joining me.ere is what gop leader kevin mccarthy said on the house floor just a week after the capitol attack. >> the president bears responsibility from wednesday's attack on congress by mob rioters. he should have immediately denounced the mob when he saw what was unfolding, and the president's immediate action also deserves congressional action, which is why i think a fact-finding resolution and a censure resolution would be prudent. >> he was for a commission before he was against it. how do you explain his flip-flop on this? >> you know, i think we've seen -- and i've said this in my remarks on the house floor. we've seen a number of individuals who are passionate, who are rightly critical on january 6th, the 7th, the 8th, the week after that have since softened their tone and chosen to take a different path. honestly, i was hoping that this january 6th commission could be a chance to set what we view as partisan politics aside. it's important to remember nancy pelosi started off with a stac

was concerned and the class continued only some time later we had the school director telling us to meijer to close everything and leave the room. with a show everyone was deeply shocked we owe our lives to our math teacher who saved us sure ran to the door and locked it she was holding it. very firmly. still seem in a state of shock and they were among the lucky ones for them the nightmare is over though nobody can say just how long the mental scars will remain for others the nightmare has just begun fast raced to the school when he 1st heard news of the attack hoping he would see his sister evacuated to safety and bring her home she was too late. the doors of the room where my sister was together with her classmates weren't locked so the attacker broke into the room and shot the students her name was and mine is that's because our parents wanted our names to sound similar she studied in the 8th form which she was 15 mark why she was a very resolute girl she had big plans for the future to finish the 9th form and get an education and i. thought knows on the day school staff that only coul

that was republican congressman peter meijer of michigan, one of just a teeny little handful of peopler her abhorrent comments equating speaker pelosi's decision to keep a mask mandate in place on the house floor to the utter horror suffered by jews during the holocaust where 6 million jews lost their lives. 60% of the world's jewish population at the time. greene's comments so egregious that we will not air them here on this show. congresswoman liz cheney called them evil lunacy. adam kinzinger said it was absolute sickness and former republican representative from virginia, our friend denver riggleman said, comparing wearing masks to the abuse of the holocaust is a not so subtle dim in addition of the horrors experienced by millions. it's a grotesque idiocy mixed with lack of self-awareness. the american jewish congress called on greene to retract her comments and say, such comparisons demean the holocaust and contaminate american political speech. yet she did the opposite. when pressed about her comments, greene said this. >> i stand by all of my statements. i said nothing wrong. an
