No surprise here. But you see Mr. Reich that the phrase "bipartisan, independent commission" is an oxymoron, for to include the complicit Repugs in the first place is ludicrous. Just get on with a truly independent investigation and get rid of the Senate filibuster to do it. No excuses. Get it done. Democracy is at stake and that ain't no hyperbole.
Senate Republicans just blocked House-passed legislation to create a bipartisan, independent commission investigating the events of January 6th. Let me repeat that: Senate Republicans just blocked an independent investigation into an attempted overthrow of the U.S. government. In recent days, Mitch McConnell whined that Democrats wanted to “debate the past” and privately warned his caucus that the investigation could hurt their chances in the midterms.
There’s no low too low for today’s Republican Party. We’re not even six months removed from a violent attempted coup, and they’re already trying to rewrite history and force us to move on. The only reason they blocked this crucial commission is to protect their midterm prospects and shield Trump from accountability. It’s yet another despicable display of party over country. They are Trump’s cult, through and through.
