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.

Yup, cities burning is much more memorable in my mind so something should be done there before anything’s done about Jan 6th.

What would you be stopping or protecting that you would shoot the first head thru the door without any clear evidence that person was a threath to anyone, not anything. And I wouldnt have been part of that mob and the ashlee sounds a bit off in a sense she couldnt keep a job more than 1-2 years.

I had much hope until March 2021,then I got to noticing people being hunted and harangued just for going to Trump’s Ralley. People have lost their good names their homes their jobs and being locked up with no recourse.

Now I may be a little jaded on this but I served in Vietnam, we had something we called Mojo and mine has a bad feeling about this. I was always told that a Lion leading Sheep could overcome a bunch of Lions lead by a Sheep.

I just don’t see much of a Lion anymore and yes I’ve heard all the crap of he’s in charge of this or that we need to wake people up 4d chess and all that.
Well it’s way past time to do something and if he is in frigging charge he should stop this crap and stop it now..

Why do they insist on lying in the headline?

The democrats murdered a innocent woman. They are protecting the murderer. What is it that Lisa does not know?

Well we know that, Lisa - and the ones that did are being prosecuted. Did she not notice that?

Makes zero sense - approaching incoherence.

Ridiculous. There was no riot. There was a large gathering of citizens

If we refer to this as the “Capitol Holocaust” they’ll stop exaggerating it.
