Brian Sicknick's mother visits Capitol to push for Jan. 6 commission: 'I couldn't stay quiet any longer'
Fox News
The mother of Officer Brian Sicknick, who died after defending the Capitol on Jan. 6, visited GOP senators Thursday to urge them to support an independent bipartisan commission to investigate the origins of the attack.
"I just couldn't stay quiet anymore," Gladys Sicknick said Thursday on Capitol Hill. The House already passed legislation on May 19 to form the independent panel with support from 35 Republicans, despite opposition from former President Donald Trump and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif. The bill now needs 60 votes to advance in the 50-50 split Senate, which is an uphill climb with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., also opposing the commission. McConnell argued there are already enough investigations into the Jan. 6 attack.More Related News
