GOP Senators Block Bipartisan Probe of Jan. 6 Capitol Attack
Newsmax ^ | May 28, 2021

Senate Republicans on Friday blocked the creation of a bipartisan panel to study the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, refusing to back down on their opposition to the independent investigation.

The Senate vote was 54-35 — short of the 60 votes needed to consider a House-passed bill

Democrats and some moderate Republicans had called for a commission to probe the events leading up to and on Jan. 6, when hundreds of people, some of them supporters of President Donald Trump, stormed the Capitol, fighting with police, urging violence against lawmakers and delaying the formal certification of President Joe Biden's election victory.

That only equals 89. What happened to the other 11 votes?

They were getting private tutoring in Marxist Policy from Communist Chinese donors.

Yep, what’s up with that? 11 Senators skipped the vote? What the heck? Did they take off early for Memorial Day weekend??

Or did they not want to “go on the record” about this proposed commission???

stormed the Capitol, fighting with police, urging violence against lawmakers

the way these leftist journalists always feel the need to insert these outright lies into their stories makes it look like they're admitting the Public isn't buying the "riot narrative"

the desperation reeks here

Trumps fault. That is a brief summation of any and all commissions/comities or any other body that would be formed to investigate anything negative that happened between January 2017 and January 2020. Just sayin.

Newsmax is lazy, this is the last line of the article:

This article was compiled from reporting by The Associated Press and Reuters.

I should have posted it, the Associated Presstitutes and sewer level Rooters ...

Split the 11 and they still only have 59.5, a whisker less than the necessary 60.

The “rioters” ought to say they heard there were some helpless fetuses in the building that need to be aborted to save the planet from the global warming that’s causing racism or some such or other.

But if we wait for the mail in votes I am sure the Dems will get the 60 they need.

Congress should NOT be wasting anymore time on this kind of horse manure. The impeachment proceedings were bad enough!

We already know what happened

1,000,000 patriots showed up to Xpress they’re adamant this pleasure at this election being stolen from them by the Communist the global list and their minions the Democrat

We listen to our incredible president speak and it was a fantastic speech

Before the speech was even over which was a mile away the Democratic plotter said already let antifa and some stupid patriots into the building

The plan to abort the 10 day commission propose by Ted Cruz immediately went into action and all of the Congress critters pretended to be scared and ran for cover

There was one person shot that day and it was Ashley Babbitt who is a martyr and a hero forever - even though she didn’t want to be

President Trump when he heard about the nonsense going on that he probably knew was going to happen said for everybody to peacefully go home

Just like everything else the Democrats will just lie lie lie lie lie and make up crap and the media will parrot it

Until they are finally held accountable and some of these slanderers and liars are thrown in prison the only answer is to fight and claw and take back our country
