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.

They stand for NOTHING!

That's the origin of the true saying: Those who don't stand for something will end up falling for anything.

This publicity stunt commission is to allow fodder for jerks like Brian Stetler to look into the camera and look stern as they say “This was a day worse than Pearl Harbor or the shooting of JFK, when all Americans were at the precipice of total destruction by Trump and his violent hooligan followers.”

the Salazar Repub from 27th Cong. District FL BEAT Donna Shalala (the monkey hillarybot dyke, and former pres. of U of Miami)—so this could be a showbiz vote for a commission that will not happen. The district is South Miami (South Beach, Babylon, Sodom & Gomorrah all in one) and to have a Repub win vs. the complete idiot lib Lefties is saying something.

Freepers from there could comment on her campaign. The district did NOT go for Trump in Presidential. Something going on here that is... well, Cuban American.

They voted against their own people. No surprise there. Congress is so messed up.

The squish Reed from New York is not running again. Pretty solid conservative district. But you never know. Must have a very “Trump” candidate to win again.

Mississippi 3rd Congressional District (includes Miss. State, Natchez, Rankin county and one other).

Rep. Michael Guest (R). Replaced the R that was there, Harper- and beat out a jungle primary of repubs to do it. Couple of things are odd here (except perhaps someone thinking they can expose Pelosi this way- subpoenas etc. could be). Guest was the State DA for the two counties he ran in— and was a law and order candidate who also campaigned as a strong supporter of President Donald Trump— who won Miss. and this Cong. District vs. Biden.

Also, December 2020, Guest was one of the 126 Republican House of Representatives signin an amicus brief supporting Texas v. Pennsylvania, the 26 states filing— which SCOTUS refused to hear.

They go with this commission— maybe thinking they can flay the dems— of course the dems just want to whip up more BS and cover up their role.

Thank you for your reply. What is your theory as to why he is committing political suicide here, especially in regards to being a strong Trump supporter?

The marxist democrats need a 3 ring circus going on to deflect attention and marxist reporters and pundits from all the 2020 Election audits that ARE going on and that will soon be going on.
