Pelosi: House to vote soon on 9/11-style commission to probe Jan. 6 'terrorist mob attack'

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says a vote will occur this week in the House on a 9/11-style bipartisan Jan. 6 commission after an agreement was reached in the Homeland Security Committee, but Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy hasn't said whether he supports the deal.

"We are all grateful to Bennie Thompson, Chair of the Homeland Security Committee, for the agreement that he and Ranking Member John Katko achieved to establish a 9/11-type commission," Pelosi wrote in a letter to her Democratic colleagues. "The purpose of the commission is to review and report on the facts, causes and security relating to the January 6th terrorist mob attack. The bipartisan agreement on the commission is already receiving strong outside validation. Legislation to create this commission will also come to the floor next week."

You besmirch the atrocity of 9/11 by trying to equate it with the lamest ever riots that latest a few hours.

She thinks they can beat this drum like they did Charlottesville but Americans know they were better off with Trump.

Because unauthorized tourism is equivalent to flying airplanes into buildings.

They must keep this in the news, and keep the masses attention on the “insurrection”. The message, Republicans are anti American racists and followers of Trump, who is evil incarnate.

Why? Because it’s all they have. They are screwing up everything from stem to stern in the country, most of it intentionally.

...probe Jan. 6 ‘terrorist mob attack’

AKA, The Velvet Rope Line brigade.

Who knew one could pacify am ‘terrorist mob attack’m by simply putting up velvet rope lines. I wonder if that would have worked with Antifa?

Careful what you wish for. You might get it.

Democrats’ desired outcome will set a precedent for elected officials being culpable for the mobs they incite. Kamala “I hope they continue protesting” Harris should consider this carefully.

They believe it and screech like wild animals. It isn’t about public perception because they control our meaningless elections.

An unbiased investigation of the “terrorist mob” no doubt.

I cant wait. Pelosi shares the most responsibility for the ease in which the crowd was able to take control.

"... but Americans know they were better off with Trump ..."

I'm betting there are a majority of Americans quite happy to get paid for not working. Talk of this continuing into the future can only make them more pleased.

Deport Pelosi

Mafia Queen is the one who left the door open to ANTIFA instigators

And while we’re at it, will they admit to the government instigators who were certainly there?

I will be open ended to investigate anyone they like and accuse them of being domestic terrorists. It will be the new Nazi SS.

Rather than embark on yet another witch hunt, why not work on something that might actually help the American people rather than just giving you and the rest of your merry band of Socialists a photo op?

This is precisely one of the reasons people can’t stand worthless partisan hacks.

I do think the Left wants to execute some of the rioters from January 6th, not just imprison them. They want to set an example. They need ot position themselves as the law of the land and to solidify their power.

Yet BLM and anti-fa can burn the city of Portland 100 days in a row and the government does nothing.

This is a massive waste of money and will come to the same end as the Steele Dossier.
