  • On Jan. 10, 2023, the Republican-led U.S. House of Representatives voted to approve the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government. The committee, to be chaired by Ohio U.S. Rep. Jim Jordan, purported to be investigating what he says is a bias in federal law enforcement against conservatives. As reported by The New York Times: In a speech the next day, U.S. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries described this effort rather as a Select Committee on Insurrection Protection — a reference to the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol insurrection aimed at keeping former U.S. President Donald Trump in power: Jeffries also repeated this phrase in a tweet following that speech, saying that Democrats will fight it tooth and nail. Because Jeffries did use this term to describe that committee, the quote is correctly attributed to the House Minority Leader. (en)
