The January 6 committee was criticised by former Republican Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, who called it “fraudulent” and suggested that the GOP majority move to repudiate it. On the John Solomon Reports podcast, he declared, “This committee, the J6 committee, was so fraudulent, that the current House should repudiate it, define it as an illegal or unethical, runaway investigation of no standing.”
And [it] ought to write a letter to the relevant judges as well as the Department of Justice stating that any action taken because of the J6 committee ought to be regarded as invalid and that individuals such as Steve Bannon ought not to be imprisoned for their desire to argue with a committee that was essentially acting illegally.
The former Speaker then turned to former Republican Rep. Liz Cheney, who is not a fan of former President Donald Trump.
“I mean, we’ve we’re in a period here where the establishment is just sick. And we have a chance to correct the record historically,” the former Speaker said. “And I think people will be astonished at how bad was Cheney was, how much she broke the rules, and how basically, she wanted to destroy Trump so badly, that she didn’t care that in the process, she was breaking the laws.”
“This committee destroyed all of its records. Now. That is, that is totally illegal, because we have others talk about Trump and Biden and their records. While I tell you what the J6 committee did, deliberately and methodically, was 1000 times worse than anything either Trump or Biden had done in terms of records,” he contended.
“They did it deliberately. And they did it because they didn’t want other people to figure out what they’ve been doing,” he concluded.
The former Speaker had a busy week with interviews as he appeared on the Fox News show “Hannity” where he shredded Vice President Kamala Harris.
“Kamala’s hopeless because she’s Kamala. Anybody who watches her knows the idea of her being President makes Biden look good, which is really hard nowadays,” he said when he appeared on the Fox News show “Hannity” this week.
“You have to start with the idea that she has imprinted on the country, permanently, that she’s a very shallow, uneducated, and uneducable person other than her weird laugh. There’s no significant part of her,” he said.
In March, during another appearance on “Hannity,” the former Speaker made similar comments about the vice president.
