Kevin McCarthy Opposes Bipartisan Commission On Capitol Riot
HuffPost
The Republican Party doesn't want an authoritative investigation of the attack incited by their own leader.
The top Republican in the House of Representatives has come out against a bipartisan commission to investigate the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol because the commission wouldn’t blame Black Lives Matter for the attack. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) said in a statement Tuesday that the proposed commission “ignores the political violence that has struck American cities” and that it has a “shortsighted scope that does not examine interrelated forms of political violence in America.” The House is set to vote this week on legislation establishing the commission. The bipartisan bill, negotiated by House Homeland Security Committee Chair Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) and ranking member John Katko (R-N.Y.), is modeled on the bipartisan commission that investigated the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
