When isn’t the left mad about something? Sometimes I think that’s all they do. They sit around trying to dream up new things to be pissed about. Well, I’ll tell you what, this latest move by the GOP will probably do it. After all, January 6th is the left’s favorite thing in the world to bellyache about, so this should send them right into orbit. The GOP has announced that one of the very first orders of business in January will be to re-open the Capitol to the American people, after all, that is OUR HOUSE, and the only reason those bums are there is because we sent them.
It’s about time. Acting like the American people (Trump supporters) are some barbarians, is absurd, and everyone knows it.
Western Journal reported that while it would have been nice for Republicans to secure the presidency in 2020 and both chambers of Congress in 2022, they at least took majority control of the House of Representatives, which means that the next two years will be a nightmare for President Joe Biden and his administration.
However, one particular vow from California Republican House Leader Kevin McCarthy shouldn’t be controversial at all, as he promised on Wednesday to reopen the U.S. Capitol to the American public after it was shut down post-Jan. 6, 2021.
“In six days the new Republican majority will fully reopen and restore the U.S. Capitol to the American people,” McCarthy tweeted Wednesday.

As it stands, the Capitol is open only to the public in a limited fashion, with reservations required to tour the building.
On McCarthy’s official website, the GOP leader published a letter he wrote to various officials who would be in charge of getting the Capitol complex open to the public as it once was.
An accessible Capitol, especially the “People’s House,” is a constitutionally important principle.
“It has been 2 years, 7 months, and 29 days since the People’s House closed,” McCarthy wrote.
“That means for 973 days, the American People have been restricted from exercising their constitutional right to petition the first branch of government. 973 days without being able to freely visit their Member of Congress at the Capitol Complex. 973 days without being able to access the House gallery and watch their representatives vote on legislation in person.”
“That posture is no longer acceptable,” McCarthy continued.
McCarthy, the current House minority leader, acknowledged the possible challenges in reopening, focusing on staffing issues within the Capitol Police, which undoubtedly can present security issues.
It wasn’t just the left that was mad, to be honest. Many people look at Kevin McCarthy as an establishment weenie, who will float anywhere the wind blows him. And they’re right. Trust me, McCarthy was not busting his butt defending Trump supporters when the January 6th “setup” went down, if anything, he was throwing them under the bus as quickly as he could.
And now, he wants to look like a “hero” because his speakership is in jeopardy. Typical swampy politician.
Probably best to just reopen the door, and shut up.
