Capitol Police Officers: 'Inconceivable' To 'Downplay' Capitol Riot
HuffPost
Republican leadership, including Sen. Mitch McConnell and Rep. Kevin McCarthy, voiced opposition to the proposed commission this week.
A group of United States Capitol Police officers signaled their “profound disappointment” that Republican congressional leadership has refused to support the proposed bipartisan commission to investigate the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol riot in an open letter published Wednesday. Neither Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) nor House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (Calif.) will support the independent commission created by a bill that is expected to pass the House. Sponsored by House Homeland Security Committee Chair Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) and ranking member John Katko (R-N.Y.), the bill was modeled after the bipartisan commission formed after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. A spokesperson from the office of Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) said the letter ― which is written on USCP letterhead but left unsigned ― represents about 40 to 50 officers. It was sent to House chiefs Wednesday afternoon.
