Rep. Roy on January 6 committee: Pelosi ‘doesn't want to have any kind of actual bipartisan effort to seek the truth’

WASHINGTON—On Thursday, Rep. Chip Roy (TX-21) joined Newsmax TV's National Report to discuss his fight for answers on reports of politicized treatment of January 6 defendants, House Democrats' political games on the January 6 select committee, and Texas Democrats' cross-country publicity stunt against commonsense election reforms.

Full footage of the segment can be found here, and some key quotes on January 6 are below:

• [Nancy Pelosi] doesn't want to have any kind of actual bipartisan effort to seek the truth. This is why, by the way, I, and other Republicans, oppose the establishment of this committee. My position all along has been that we have standing committees who have the power to go figure out the truth- so let's start.
  
• Let's talk about the 530 Americans who have arrested or charged with crimes and let's work backwards. What were they charged with, why were they charged, how long have they been in jail, where are they in jail, what kind of penalties are they facing? Let's go seek the truth wherever it may lead.
  
• I think we should be able to seek the truth through standing committees, and we should force Democrats to do that and not empower them.

Here are some key quotes from Congressman Roy on Texas Democrats' fleeing the state:

• You're a representative of Texans, and you're supposed to be in the Texas legislature in the state capital in Austin, and you're getting on a chartered plane to go fly to D.C. to hobnob with Kamala Harris- who by the way is supposed to be securing the border of the United States- and is not- doesn't give a wit about that- and these Democrats come up to go partner with Democrats to federalize elections, to say that we should pass HR 1, and to take power away from Texans.
  
• Look, Texans look at this and they see it for exactly what it is: incompetence- people who have no regard for what the interests are for the people of Texas.
  
• Look, just shine the light on what Democrats are doing and it will speak for itself. They need to get back to Texas.
