“Shame is most dems don't support bipartisan efforts and you hear little from them about working America.”

Really?

With today’s gang of hyper-partisan Republicans who are more interested in kissing Donald Trump’s butt than serving their country.


The most disgusting display of pure partisanship and refusal to compromise came over creation of a September 11-like commission to investigate the insurrection of January 6. Let’s remember what happened that day. An armed mob of Trump supporters stormed the United States Capitol, broke doors and windows, defiled the sacred House and Senate Chambers, destroyed documents, endangered the lives of House Members, senators, and the vice president, and pummeled and killed Capitol Police officers. It’s important to know how and why that occurred in order to protect the Capitol, tell the American people the truth, and prevent such an outrage from happening again.


Yet both Kevin McCarthy and Mitch McConnell opposed creation of the commission. Even though they both originally supported it. And even though the commission plan was crafted, at McCarthy’s request, by Republican Congressman John Katko — who got everything in the deal that McCarthy had demanded. But McCarthy still voted against it. Why? Because Donald Trump told him to. And because McCarthy knew he’d be subpoenaed to testify about his phone call with Donald Trump in the middle of the insurrection. By rejecting the January 6 Commission, Republicans have proved once and for all that they’re not willing to work together, even on a matter of national security. They’d rather protect Donald Trump than the Capitol.
