35 House Republicans Vote For Jan. 6 Commission In Break With GOP Leaders
Forbes ^ | May 19, 2021 | Andrew Solender

Posted on 05/19/2021 4:07:28 PM PDT by Coronal

35 House Republicans on Wednesday voted with Democrats in favor of a bill to create a commission to investigate the Jan. 6 attack, a significant break from GOP leadership, which urged members to vote against the bill.

The list includes all 10 Republicans who voted to impeach Trump in January, as well as a number of members of the bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus, which endorsed the bill.

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy spoke out against the bill on Monday, alleging the commission wouldn’t be able to probe political violence beyond Jan. 6.

We know what happened just like the election but the swamp wants to sh”tshape their fake narrative and lies. The GOP is absolutely worthless and they will happily give up 2022 and 2024.They enjoy being minorities and

A bunch of sissies that got their panties in a wad and ran to hide in the basement rather than face a few of their constituents.

Traitors... Why is that so hard to understand? They give aid and comfort to the enemy. When does the shooting begin?

Those must be the same “republicans” that want to create their own party before they get booted out of their own.

And I just commented on another article that was posted, how the Democrats always stick together. No matter what

There are exceptions. Those exceptions come when there is a vote they cannot win, the Senator or Representative is in a battleground district and voting against the party will be seen as them being willing to bunch the party for their constituents.

And this ONLY happens when permission is given from Schumer and Pelosi.

This is way past RINO. This is 35 people who are lying to the faces of every constituent in their districts.

Its laughable how people get worked up over a few Uniparty B Teamers voting with the A Team. Its a total distraction. When it comes down to something meaningful, like stopping the f’n coup, the entire B Team stands united as they stab us in the back. Mark me down as a RINO (Republican Is Not an Option).

A moderate and a former prosecutor, Katko

I see the problem here.

Many former prosecutors are Nazis at heart, and they act like Commies.

The late Rush Limbaugh of Blessed Memory used to say after historic votes with some traitorous GOP members siding with the Dems “I’m going to read their names to you now, folks. After voting like that they must be really proud of what they did so I’m sure they won’t mind.”

Great, great tactic to his millions of listeners.

Many of us miss Rush every single day.
