Congress Moves to Deal With the Aftermath of January 6th Storming of the Capitol and Attack Ads Target Woke Corporations: Do Things Still Go Better With Coke?

Episode Summary

This week, Congress addressed some of the effects of the Jan 6th storming of the US Capitol. Democrats hope to launch a bipartisan congressional investigation, but House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell both oppose it. On Thursday the House of Representatives passed by a single vote an emergency spending package of $1.9 billion for increased security for the Capitol complex – a move some argue is necessary to stop further attacks. Meanwhile, woke companies that weighed in on Georgia’s voting laws are getting pushback in the form at political attack ads aimed at their corporate practices. Susan Crabtree, Carl Cannon and Phil Wegmann join Andrew Walworth to discuss the week’s events on today’s RealClearPolitics Takeaway podcast.
