Not surprisingly, the ten House Republicans who voted to impeach former President Donald Trump got behind establishing a commission to investigate January 6 Capitol riot.

Though 35 House Republicans voted to establish a commission, obviously the majority of GOP members did not, and Republican Congressman Chip Roy even argued on the House floor that many committees already have the ability to investigate what happened on January 6.

Republican Congressman Lance Gooden, who did not vote for the bill, said in a statement after the vote that such a commission would distract from the Democrats’ many problems, and accused Pelosi of trying to accomplish precisely that.

“This partisan legislation was designed to distract the American people from the unprecedented crisis at our border, Joe Biden’s wasteful tax-and-spend policies, and the fact Democrats would rather defend radical Islamic terrorists in Palestine than support our allies in Israel,” Gooden said.
