Trump Warns 35 'Wayward' Republicans After Vote for Jan. 6 Commission
Former President Donald Trump is warning the 35 House Republicans who voted for a measure to establish a commission to investigate the Jan. 6 incidents at the Capitol that there may be "consequences" coming from voters who understand the lawmakers are "being ineffective and weak."
"See, 35 wayward Republicans — they just can’t help themselves," Trump posted on his
website Thursday, the day after the House voted 252-175 to create the commission. "We have much better policy and are much better for the Country, but the Democrats stick together, the Republicans don’t."
He added that Democrats don't have people like his critics Sens. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, and Ben Sasse, R-Neb., or like Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., but "unfortunately, we do. Sometimes there are consequences to being ineffective and weak. The voters understand!"
Trump also released a
statement before the vote to urge lawmakers to reject the commission and called the bipartisan deal reached between House Committee on Homeland Security Chairman Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., and ranking member John Katko, R-N.Y., "more partisan unfairness."
"Unless the murders, riots, and fire bombings in Portland, Minneapolis, Seattle, Chicago, and New York are also going to be studied, this discussion should be ended immediately," he said. "Republicans must get much tougher and much smarter, and stop being used by the Radical Left. Hopefully, Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy are listening!"

It is good to see there are people taking the Trumpards to task. I did while Trump was in office with a few others. Glad to see more of them doing it there now.

The commission is needed in order to probe how much members of trumps political orbit knew about the intent of the mobsters and examine whether the trump whitehouse made any effort to defend the capital while it was under attack.
This would be embarrassing for trump & co, so no wonder they don't want it.
Its going to happen whether they want it or not, though it will be a partisan instead of bipartisan effort, similar to repubs partisan commission investigating H. Clinton on Benghazi.

So the party that went nuts thinking that a twitter ban constituted a violation of free speech is now dropping the hammer on 35 people who dared to have a differing opinion.
If this was a TV show you would turn the station because it seemed so absurd.

Gotta believe the GOP is hoping Trump has a massive stroke one of these days soon. It must be so difficult to operate knowing their fickle, weak minded base will do and think whatever Trump tells them to.

Donald John Trump. The REAL President of the United States.

You guys keep comparing apples and turnips. Benghazi and Watergate are in no way similar. The riot on Jan. 6th was committed by the public. It was not politicians or on foreign soil. This event is already being investigated by law enforcement. There is ZERO chance that Congress would do a better or more thorough job. It would be political and serve to further divide our country.

Acts committed by the public, incited by a politician(s), so very much like WG and Benghazi due to politician involvement.
The commission will probe how much members of trumps political orbit knew about the intent of the mobsters and examine whether the trump whitehouse made any effort to defend the capital while it was under attack.
Trumps defenders in congress have benefited from the fact that many of the investigations you reference have moved slowly and largely out of view, allowing them to obscure the truth about the events of that day and the dangers that the former presidents supporters posed to lawmakers.

It is always hilarious to hear Trumpers concerned about dividing America.
