I think he’s saying “composed of”, not “closed for”. He’s off-mic in the audience so it’s hard to tell. But I think that makes more sense than “closed for”.
He’s implying that Republicans weren’t allowed to come because the Democrats wouldn’t let them in. That would be a closed hearing, I guess. In actuality, the Republicans started their own January 6th investigation. They’re choosing not to be on this one.
Ahead of Tuesday’s hearing, GOP Rep. Barry Loudermilk, who is leading the Republican-led counter-investigation, called the former January 6 committee a “partisan exercise designed to advance a narrative to target President Trump and his political allies.”
Took me a bit to work out too. The crowd member thinks that the committee blocked Repub inclusion, and the response is clarifying that it’s not closed to anyone, Repubs just refused to be on the committee.
Need some help with the lingo: what does it mean for a committee to be “closed” ? And to be “closed for Democrats” ?

They were trying to insinuate that it was a witch hunt. It wasn’t.

None of the picture makes sense at all
As usual democrats are 5 years behind schedule
