Senate Republicans Block January 6 Commission
Apparently it didn’t happen, or if it did, it was just tourists in a peaceful tour of the U.S. Capitol. Any pictures or video of the insurrection are doctored by ‘fake news.’
A crucial Senate vote on a bill to create an independent inquiry to investigate the deadly January 6 Capitol Hill riot failed Friday, falling short of the 10 Republican votes needed to advance and illustrating GOP efforts to move on from the insurrection that left five people dead and injured 140 police officers.
