'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.

Hey Lisa, how about spending less time with your hair dresser and investigating why an unarmed woman Veteran was shot dead point blank while just reaching through a broken window?

You and many other RINO's are a disgrace to us true conservatives. Go away and get a neck lift to match your hairdo - you're not fooling anyone. You're just another bitter old hag who refuses to age gracefully.

Maybe you and Pelosi should share some ice cream? Bring Romney, Paul Ryan and the worthless mayor of Chicago to the party. Gotta look bi-partisan, right? Yet, you wonder why Pres. Trump is so popular with his America first policies. Oh right, no more mean Tweeters, and no more Swamp Draining attempts.

One might welcome an investigation, if we knew it would be fair, non-political, and didn’t have a pre-determined outcome. But we all know that’s laughable anymore.

Something bad did happen. The Capital Police were told to stand down by Nazi Pelosi to let rioting ANTIFA come in and stage a fake riot, all which would have been covered up by a democrap controlled commision.

Lisa Murkowski didn’t give a damn when cities and businesses were burning for months and months last year in flyover... BECAUSE IT DIDN’T EFFECT ALASKA OR THE ‘ELITES’ IN DC.

What a jerk.

Will someone please run against her...

Well Mercy...

There’s a whole lot of pretending going on, Portland, Seattle,
Chicago, Georgia, Arizona, other cities and autonomous zones
across the nation...

As if there were all that much to ignore in Washington, D. C.,
at the present time, that didn’t compete with Ruby Ridge,
Waco, TWA-800, and a myriad of other things...

Not to mention a stolen election...

“We must let this commission go foward and let the Democrats turn it into an indictment of Trump and possibly all of his supporters as well!” Murkowski added.

DANG!

except for the handful of idiots who charged the police, this was nothing more than a First Amendment protest.

“That photo of Murkowski being cornered by DiFi during the Kavanaugh hearings showed all one needed to know about Murkowski. It looked like a party whip bringing a recalcitrant member into line.”

You mean the one where DiFi cornered her with the noxious and lethal armpit threat?

Though I mostly agree, I think she was threatening. She was the “first in” of an unruly mob breaking through a locked door to enter.

It pains me to say this, but I’d have pulled the trigger a lot sooner than he did if the roles were reversed. Mob mentality makes people do things they would normally never consider acceptable behavior. In her case, it got her killed.

Murkowski looks like she is on the verge of tears, like Faust being confronted by Mephistopheles demanding payment of his soul.
