'We can't pretend nothing happened': GOP Senator Lisa Murkowski tears into colleagues blocking riot commission after Ron Johnson delayed vote until today with 3am debate on China technology bill

Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski has torn into her colleagues who say they want to oppose the Capitol riot commission during a chaotic night in the chamber.

'We just can't pretend that nothing bad happened, or that people just got too excitable. Something bad happened. And it's important to lay that out,' Murkowski told reporters after a vote on the proposed commission was delayed on Thursday night after the Senate grinded to a halt.

Overnight chaos in the Senate prevented the bill establishing a 9/11-style commission to investigate the January 6 Capitol attack from getting a vote to block a Republican-led filibuster.

They say a picture is worth a 1000 words. No picture proves that old adage true more than that one does. It totally embodies all that can ever be said about being a RINO.

Investigate Jan 6 only after you investigate the Dims storming the same capitol building and interrupting the same Senate chambers during the Kavanaugh hearings.


We're supposed to forget that insurgency.


But for some reason the Jan 6 one is supposed to be worse than when the Brits interrupted FDR's TV broadcast when they burned down the White House during the Civil War. (Channeling my inner c'mon man).

Yes, something happened. Trespassing — maybe, since many had the doors opened for them. Breaking and entering, for about 12 people. And murder — by an agent of the state against an unarmed trespasser.

Lisa and Liz are both bought. Both support those who wish to put the US under the Globalist Despot’s Boot.

In Texas, we refuse to participate in that. Period. End Trans

She would be totally gone, if it were not for intervention by the Mitch “the Turtle”

She is one Evil B.

We all saw what happened. A woman got assassinated by a LEO in the Capitol building during the riot. She was the ONLY person killed.

Many were led into the Capitol Bldg by LEOs.

There was a lack of LEOs because those in charge were worried about the image it might convey. Image vs protection...you be the judge.

Let’s ask the first question: Why was an unarmed woman about whom it was said by a friend “She wouldn’t hurt a fly” shot in the back and killed? With the shooter released from the investigation with decision of “no prosecution is indicated?” Victim is named Ashli Babbitt.

Lisa, I can see you’re uncomfortable with that first question from the scowling, frowining, tire-tread deep lined wrinkles on your sagging face.

Oh, wait, sorry, that’s your natural resting face. Sorry about that.

Absurd double standard as "teens" and felons are turned into saints if a person of color is the subject. This is wrong.

All races should be subject to equal treatment under the same laws. "You can say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one" for that.

Can’t imagine why not. You’re already pretending that something DID happen, and also that Jao won the selection. Why is this a bridge too far?
