Denver Riggleman: Investigation of the January 6 Capitol riot was “absolutely friggin’ necessary.”

Guest-host John Berman said, “The bipartisan commission is not happening at this point. We have this select committee, Congressman. You’ve got experience working this if you will. They were your colleagues just a few months ago. What is it that you think, or how is it that you think Kevin McCarthy ultimately will approach this? Is this something he’ll try somehow to muck up?”

Riggleman said, “I mean if they’re looking at the polls if they’re looking to fund-raisers to districts, he’s going to have to push it to the side. He’s going to have to make fun of it. He’s going to have to make it partisan. He’s going to have to push it to so far to the left, saying it’s provocative. You’ve got to use these hyperbolic words and dismiss it. I think this is a huge mistake. This is an American problem. It is time for us as Americans to do something to find out in analysis what happened on January 6, how it happened. We need to go back a year or two.”

He added, “We need to look at the gaps, and the priorities that we need to actually look at that law enforcement didn’t have time to do to see why this happened. This is absolutely friggin’ necessary. I’m still can’t get my arms around the fact we have individuals pushing back on that after the Americans were affected, after individuals like Michael Fanone, getting almost beat to death. Enough of this crap. I’m frustrated based on my background in intel because I know we can figure this out.”
