Brooks and Capehart on the political chaos within the Home

Jonathan Capehart:

I nonetheless view it with trepidation.

We — I imply, simply give it some thought. Two years in the past at this time, we noticed hundreds of individuals instigated by the then-president of the USA who stormed the Capitol attempting to overturn a free and honest election.

Precisely two years later, we’re nonetheless seeing chaos within the Home of Representatives, when the get together of that president, a whole lot of whom voted to not certify the 2020 election, new people who got here in operating on the massive lie, going after Kevin McCarthy and never voting for him and rendering the place into chaos as a part of, to my thoughts, the continuing revolt.

What occurred on January 6, 2021, remains to be occurring. And I feel — to arrange a distinction, this cut up display screen second that we’re in, on this nation, at reverse ends of Pennsylvania Avenue. At one finish, you’ve got the president of the USA working with the Senate minority chief, Republican, on bipartisan infrastructure, no matter, exhibiting what governance can appear to be when opposing events come collectively for the nice of the nation.

And on the different finish of Pennsylvania Avenue, within the Capitol, they can not — 14 ballots to date and nonetheless haven’t got — haven’t got a speaker. It is simply an ongoing — it is an ongoing revolt. And I do not see after we — when the get together will get out of it, the Republican Social gathering will get out of it, or we as a nation get out of it.
