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.

McConnell is on record opposing the current plan.

It won’t pass until he allows it to.

That said, there was no insurrection on Jan 6.

I hope the Republicans hold tight on this issue. I do not want to see another 4 years of something like the ‘Russia collusion’ thing. Democrats are obviously trying to set something like that up with this.

To the Democrats Jews are like Blacks. You can dump on them, insult them, betray them, backstab them and in November they will vote for whoever has the D next to their name.

I think we all pretty much understand the reason that they’re asking for a commission is simply political. Freeper oldeconomybuyer appropriately likes to a picture of Joseph Goebbels at the beginning of many of his posts, and it is appropriate because it’s apparent to anyone with two brain cells to rub together, that the whole thing was staged and exploited by the left with their collaborators in the media.

This is just their way of being able to further the lie, and to legitimize resources to persecute people they politically disagree with.

I know that you already know all of this, but that’s pretty much it.

Why do we need a commission? The Dems keep hiding the facts. Have they publicly stated who shot Ashli Babitt and why he did it and what will be done to him? Was he in fact a racist BLM operative that hated Trump supporters? Where’s the facts and information on what happened? WHY are they hiding it?

Right on. What we really need is a "Who Murdered Ashli Babitt and Why?" Commission.

And during a peaceful protest--not riot--no less.

Chuck and Nancy sound like they do not need an investigation, just a vehicle to use to promote their already determined opinion.

why can we not describe it as a 1st Amendment protest taking place in the Capital building - the people’s house?

The Bush/Cheney RINOs will do NOTHING.
They’ve also hated republicans who voted for Trump and not Jebbie.
Now Jebbie’s half Mexican son is climbing the ladder and they are preening him for president-NO WAY, NADA!
No more Bushes in the whitehut!
And no mas Cheney’s!
They are rabid RINOs.
The taxpayers cannot afford to pay the mortgages on new houses for illegal aliens who come here for freebies because they are a non-motivated bunch of slackers who couldn’t make a living in their own countries.
Same goes for those slackers from central and South America!
Not to mention the CRIMINALS and those with diseases and covid, Chaga’s disease, resistant TB.....the list goes on!

My GOP rep can let me know they oppose it and I’ll go buy him (or her) a beer.

The first unarmed insurrection since man discovered how to use rocks and pointy sticks.

(They shoulda worn pink hats, or masks, or both. Then it woulda been okay.)
