Michigan Congressman Bergman Discusses Speaker Hearings & J6 Commission

Amid the Speaker of the House hearings at the Longworth Building, we sat down with Michigan District 1 Congressman Jack Bergman, a retired US Marine Lieutenant General. Our conversation revolved around the expectations for the next Speaker of the House, particularly in relation to the release of information regarding the events of January 6th.
Congressman Bergman took a cautious stance when asked whether he would call on the next Speaker to release information about January 6th. He emphasized his role as a representative of the people, acknowledging that he doesn't always agree with his constituents but is committed to representing their diverse opinions. In his view, the focus should be on more pressing matters that require immediate attention in his official capacity.

He expressed concern about the confusion sown by the media and the state of Americans' First Amendment rights, which he believes are under threat. The conversation also touched on the recent controversies regarding election integrity, highlighting the significant divide in public opinion on the issue.

The interview concluded with a reference to taxpayer dollars and the need for public officials to be accountable. While not providing a direct answer to the question posed, Congressman Bergman emphasized the complexity and importance of the issues currently facing the nation.

As the Speaker of the House hearings progress, it remains to be seen how these concerns will influence the direction of the proceedings and the role of the next Speaker in addressing them.
