Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) vowed Tuesday to hold a vote on legislation forming a commission to investigate the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, daring Republicans to oppose an effort that has bipartisan support in both houses of Congress.
“Republicans can let their constituents know, are they on the side of truth [or] want to cover up for the insurrectionists and for Donald Trump?” Schumer asked at a weekly press conference.

I notice Schumer has said NOTHING about his party supporting Hamas..not one PEEP about Israel..guess the piece of crap is terrified of his beloved Hamas Squad to open his trap
The “siege” was staged.
Political prisoners are being held in solitary confinement.

Stalinists lie. Always
Nanzi opposed the presence of the National Guard
Nanzi had security stand down that day
Nanzi knew in advance of the plot BEFORE Donald Trump said anything at the protest and people headed to the Capitol before Trump “agitated them”.

sure, i’ll go along, as long as the commission also studies the 100’s of riots last year by the left and the storming of the Wisconsin State Captial and occupation for weeks by the left!

So much for the “armed” accusation

Rarely does such and excellent opportunity arise to identify the DeceptiCon members in the House. That opportunity exists right now.
♦ STEP ONE – Force the full House to vote on their support of the politically motivated “January 6th Commission.”
♦ STEP TWO – Identify the Republicans who go along with the leftist intent.
♦ STEP THREE – Primary every single one of those Republican House members in 2022.
WASHINGTON DC – A substantial bloc of House Republicans is expected to vote with Democrats on Wednesday to authorize a bipartisan commission to investigate the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol despite GOP leaders’ opposition – a development that could force Senate Republicans to give the proposal more serious consideration.
The bipartisan House Problem Solvers Caucus, which consists of 29 Republicans and 29 Democrats, announced Tuesday that over 75% of its members have endorsed the bill, meaning at least 15 Republican Caucus members support it.
Caucus member Rep. Peter Meijer (R-Mich.) supports the bill, according to his spokesperson, as do non-members Reps. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) and Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), all critics of former President Donald Trump who voted for his impeachment in January. (read more)

It wasn’t even a “peaceful protest.”
To: ChicagoConservative27
The entire concept is farcical.
Who needs a “commission” to study an event that was mostly peaceful?

And everything that Donald Trump warned about that day, that the Left would not stop at tearing down Civil War monuments, they’d come after statues and landmarks of the founding fathers (because they owned slaves) came true last year.
And even in the midst of all of that several debate “moderators” last year brought up their bogus Charlottesville charge that Trump was supporting white supremacists. Good people wanted to preserve the historical statues and appeasing the mob wouldn’t stop the mob and it didn’t. Trump correctly pointed out that there were good intentioned and bad people on both sides of the protest.
