Senate Republicans on Friday blocked an independent, bipartisan commission to study the deadly Jan. 6 insurrection at the Capitol.
Eager to put the events of that day and former President Trump’s role in it behind them, Republicans blasted the commission proposal as a partisan attempt by Democrats to keep both in the news during next year’s pivotal midterm elections.
The bill fell in the first legislative filibuster of the year as it failed to get the 60 votes needed to advance. The vote was 54 to 35 to move the bill forward, with a handful of Republicans breaking ranks — Sens. Mitt Romney of Utah, Susan Collins of Maine, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Ben Sasse of Nebraska, Rob Portman of Ohio and Bill Cassidy of Louisiana.

The deep state driven biased commission.
Vast majority of Senate GOP held firm. Nice.
It wasnt a Insurrection. At best it was a riot and at worse a temper tantrum. 75 million Trump voters are now armed to the teeth and yet not one gun was taken. The only gun used was by a yet un-named Capitol police officer who wet himself and shot a unarmed woman without warning.
Since the left has started to figure out Hitler comparisons are bad, 9/11 will now take his place in outlandish political rhetoric.
What insurrection?
a poorly disguised attempt at a third impeachment failed...

Nancy is still mad from Trump stopping her Government Shut Down Vacation , she’ll have another stroke ,LOL

Murkowski is going to get her a** kicked next election. Portman is retiring I think.
I am sick to death of hearing that Collins is the best we can get in Maine THEN let the damn Dem have the seat AND we work on getting John James of MI to replace her GEEZE these 5 are total SCUM yet we keep electing them!!!
I was there (not in the building for you FBIAS snoopers) there was no riot.
I saw what real riots looked like last summer, so I know what they look like and there was no riot.
