Speaker Pelosi issued a statement today that read, in part:
“January 6th was one of the darkest days in our nation’s history. It is imperative that we establish the truth of that day and ensure such an attack cannot again happen. The Select Committee will investigate and report upon the facts and causes of the attack and report recommendations for preventing any future assault.
Senate Republicans did Mitch McConnell a ‘personal favor’ rather than their patriotic duty and voted against the bipartisan commission negotiated by Democrats and Republicans. But Democrats are determined to find the truth.”
.@SpeakerPelosi Bill to establish #Jan6 #SelectCommittee:
"The Speaker shall appoint 13 Members to the Select Committee, 5 of whom shall be appointed after consultation with the minority leader."
Maybe Members who vote against this Bill should be considered disqualified. pic.twitter.com/uWWUAFymQO
