Senate Republican Opposition Grows Over January 6 Commission As Democrats Peddle To Distract From Unpopular Agenda
Breitbart ^ | 05.21.2021 | Wendell Husebø

Posted on 05/22/2021 2:29:40 AM PDT by USA Conservative

Many Senate Republicans oppose the partisan January 6 Commission which serves the Democrat’s agenda by deflecting from their unpopular policies.

“I don’t think there will be 10 votes on our side for it,” Sen. Mike Braun (R-IN) said of the legislation which passed the House with 35 Republican votes. “At this stage, I’d be surprised if you’re gonna get even a handful.”

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) will also oppose the commission in a blow to Democrats who need ten Republicans to pass the measure.

“It’s not at all clear what new facts or additional investigation yet another commission could lay on top of the existing efforts by law enforcement and Congress,” he said.

Sen. Mike Rounds (R-SD) added, “We’ve had a chance to hear from House leadership about what they saw in the bill. It doesn’t appear right now that they believe that it is bipartisan in nature, which to me is extremely disappointing.”

“The way that the bill is written right now, I would feel compelled to vote against it,” he explained.

Republican Moderate Sens. Thom Tillis (R-NC) and Susan Collins (R-ME) have also voiced opposition to the January 6 Commission, at least in its current form.

Politico reported Friday Sen. Richard Burr (R-NC) is joining the opposition, pointing towards the Democrat partisan gamesmanship.

“I know how difficult it is. So this myth that you could finish this by December? You probably couldn’t even get your staff security clearance to read the documents,” Burr said. “There’s no question” this would give Democrats a way to deflect from President Joe Biden’s failed agenda ahead of 2022 midterms.

Republicans better hammer home the fact that the democrats have not only failed the American people, but they are also failing the immigrants along with every country we consider an ally. They need to act now!

Might be ‘funny’ to have this commission and the results of a few of these election audit results come out at the same time.

Then the question the public needs to answer is:

Was it actually a ‘coup’ or an ‘insurrection?’

I have seen many a twitter post regarding these audits and the liberal comments are all along the lines that Republicans are manufacturing evidence and tampering with the ballots. It is really funny that they don’t want us looking and are already planting disinformation in the social media universe.

The big lie spills from Pelosi’s mouth, not Trumps. The question is what happens when we have the evidence to the truth? Does it take down the democrat party in a civil war the second time? Does it destroy the media sycophants’? Does it take down the technocratic monopolies? There was a time we would have thought the military would step in during such a crisis, but they are working on purging the military.

I would caution they could go scorched earth here and we may not know what’s happening. As they have already laid plans for the “Cyber Pandemic.”

We are already witnessing supply chain disruptions as part of the recovery. They may not fully recover before the next event.

There are some conservatives arguing that we should welcome this commission to help shed some light on the fraud. But I don’t trust the Stupid Party to take advantage of it and of course the fascist media/social media will turn it into daily propaganda against President Trump. So better to let this die in the Senate and start the real task of getting rid of as many Rat traitors as possible next November.

My personal opinion is we won’t make it to next November. November is not even remotely a concern for the Democrats. Do you hear them even talking about November? They are not worried about losing the House or Senate.

Like the 911 commission, it is only to cover up for the corruptocrats in DC and their anarchist friends elsewhere. Why don’t the Nancys in Congress take down the frickin’ fence around DC????

Well if theres one thing i know is NannyP

who keeps things stirred up ,running her mouth

and everything that comes out of it is the

ever present phrase “...for the American people”...

she doesnt give twig about anyone just

her own power to lord over others.

I wouldn’ t be surprised that she views herself as very critical to the running of America; that she is indispensible .

She does walk around a lot and if someone querys her its generally known the response is..

I have a meeting to go to...for the Continuity of

Government. How privileged / s

Every one of these 35 “Republican” house members needs a strong conservative primary opponent.
