Media turns blind eye to Pelosi’s ‘open duplicity when it comes to congressional investigations:’ Gowdy

Sunday Night in America” host Trey Gowdy tore into “partisan” media outlets for failing to hold House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., accountable after she rejected several GOP lawmakers to sit on the Jan. 6 House commission without explanation.

“The DC media tells us they ‘speak truth to power.’ They tell us ‘Democracy Dies in Darkness.’ They tell us they publish ‘All the News that is Fit to Print,’ and a host of other meaningless self-congratulatory platitudes,” Gowdy said, “but they can’t question Pelosi on her open duplicity when it comes to congressional investigations.”

 Gowdy reminded viewers of Pelosi’s questionable history surrounding previous high-profile committee placements.

“She put Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., on the Benghazi committee, even though his mind was fully made up, and he did everything he could to protect the Democrat nominee for president,” Gowdy argued. “That was his job. Not to interview survivors, not to access information, not to ascertain why the military did not respond in a timely manner, but protect Hillary Clinton. Pelosi picked him despite his bias.”

Pelosi also tapped Schiff to investigate former President Donald Trump over Russia collusion allegations, “even though Schiff misstated evidence, prejudged the outcome and claimed to have evidence he never produced,” Gowdy said.

“She picked Schiff to lead the prosecution in a failed impeachment trial, even though Schiff misstated facts, misrepresented a meeting with the whistleblower, and manufactured evidence during a committee hearing…Pelosi picked him anyway.”

Months later, Pelosi allowed Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., to maintain his seat on the House Intelligence Committee, despite reports revealing a close personal relationship with an alleged Chinese spy.

And yet, when Republican Reps. Jim Jordan from Ohio and Jim Banks from Indiana—two strong allies of former President Donald Trump—were submitted to join the committee to investigate the cause of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, Pelosi immediately crossed their names off the list.

“There is not a single cop, prosecutor or judge who would be allowed to remain on those cases if he or she did what Schiff, Swalwell… or the others did. Not one.
