Rep. Kinzinger And Rep. Cheney The Only GOPers To Vote For Insurrection Inquiry.
“Cheney, who was ousted from her third-ranking House GOP leadership post in May over her anti-Trump rhetoric and actions, blasted her party’s leaders in a statement ahead of the vote for failing to push back against Trump’s false claims that the election was stolen from him.
Some House Republicans have since tried to downplay the severity of the attack by the mob of Trump’s supporters who were trying to stop Congress from ratifying President Biden’s electoral victory, including questioning whether they were really the former president’s followers and comparing it to a “normal tourist visit.”
”
Rep. Cheney and Rep. Kinzinger are the only members of the GOP who want to be part of the historical narrative and help craft a definitive story of what happened on January 6th. The remaining GOP are too afraid of the outcome and what could be revealed. Regardless of who participates, there will be a history written and the violence of January 6th will be a known as a definitive moment in American history. Unfortunately, America’s reputation may never recover from the body blow that resulted from the seat of Democracy being defiled for the entire World to see.
