35 Republican rebels defy Kevin McCarthy and GOP leadership to vote with all Democrats in FAVOR of forming a 9/11-style investigation into the Capitol riot
2021-05-20
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • The House passed a bill that would create a commission to investigate the January 6 MAGA riot, with a vote of 252-175

  • Thirty-five Republicans defected from leadership and voted in favor of the bill that would create a bipartisan commission with subpoena power

  • House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy came out against the bill Tuesday, followed by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell on Wednesday

  • Marjorie Taylor Greene, representative for Georgia, said it was designed to 'smear President Trump and his supporters for the next few years'

  • 'I beg you to pass this bill,' said Republican Rep. John Katko, who had negotiated with Democrats to get the bill finished

  • Katko received applause on the House floor for saying the legislation was dedicated to members of the Capitol Police and their families

  • Earlier, an un-official letter from some members of the Capitol Police circulated shaming Republicans for not wanting to investigate January 6

Conservatives that are running against the Blue Rhinos will each get some $$ donated from our family come election time.

We either win in 2022 and 2024 or watch more and more Socialism edict be issued.
