RNC Statement on Democrats' Prime Time Political Circus

Press Release

WASHINGTON - Today, Republican National Committee (RNC) Communications Director Danielle Alvarez released the following statement on Democrats’ prime time political circus:  

“Pelosi’s committee is partisan and illegitimate. Instead of investigating the radical who placed a pipe bomb outside the RNC’s headquarters on January 6, tonight’s hearing is nothing more than political theater. Americans want Congress to focus on the most pressing crises created by Biden and Democrats – record gas prices, the worst inflation in 40 years, empty shelves, and rising crime – not conduct a political circus in prime time.”  

Background:

  • These hearings are nothing more than political theater to distract from the many failures of Biden and Democrats in Congress. 
    • Voters want Congress to focus on the most pressing issues, not conduct a political circus in prime time.  
    • The American people are concerned about the economy, inflation, skyrocketing gas prices, empty shelves, Biden's open border, and rising crime. 
    • When asked by Gallup what is the most important problem facing the country today, Americans named more than 40 different issues; not a single one of them was January 6th.
    • 77 percent of Americans disapprove of the job the Democratic Congress is doing, the highest level of disapproval since 2016. 
  • Pelosi’s committee is unserious and focused on prime time and headlines.  
  • Pelosi’s committee even hired a former TV executive and “master storyteller” to produce the hearings as if it’s some sort of “blockbuster” special.
  • 54 percent of Americans have little to no confidence that the January 6th committee’s investigation is “fair and reasonable” according to a January Pew poll.
  • ​​​​​​​More voters believe that the committee is “politically motivated” rather than a “serious attempt to find out what really happened.”  ​​​​​​​
  • ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​The RNC was a target of violence and had a bomb placed outside of RNC headquarters, which put our staff in immediate danger and is something the committee has yet to investigate.
