Capitol riot: 'Too early' to start Jan. 6 commission, Republicans will likely block, Sen. Blunt says
Fox News
As Senate Democrats aim to create a committee to investigate the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol, Sen. Roy Blunt said he believes it’s "too early" to start a bipartisan committee and that Republicans will likely vote against it.
The House approved a bill to form a commission last week, but some Senate Republicans, including Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, oppose the measure. Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill., argues House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy lied to Americans regarding details of the January 6 attack on the Capitol Blunt argued that there isn't enough information known about the insurrection to create a bipartisan commission, unlike the commission set up in the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.More Related News
