House Minority Leader Mitch McConnell obliterated House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s push for a 1/6 commission to look into the violent events at the Capitol on Jan. 6th. McConnell says that Pelosi’s plan could never be legitimate in the eyes of Americans because of how partisan it is.

Pelosi’s plan for the commission would have seven members appointed by Democrats and four appointed by Republicans. The commission would have subpoena power under her proposal, but the GOP-appointed members wouldn’t have a say in that process.

Fox News reports:

“An inquiry with a hard-wired partisan slant would never be legitimate in the eyes of the American people,” McConnell, R-Ky., said on the Senate floor Wednesday. “An undertaking that is uneven or unjust would not help our country.”

McConnell’s comments are some of the most high-profile yet highlighting GOP gripes over the Pelosi proposal, which they say departs from the idea of the 9/11 commission, which was split evenly along party lines.

“She cites the precedent of the 9/11 commission But her draft bill fails to track with that precedent in key ways,” McConnell said. “The 50-50 bipartisan split of the commissioners was a key feature to both help the effectiveness of the investigation itself and help give the whole country confidence in its work and recommendations.”

Other Republicans blasted Pelosi’s so-called “partisan” plan.

“Speaker Pelosi is doing it all wrong,” House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., said. “First, it’s not bipartisan, 7-4. Secondly, they don’t allow subpoena power for the minority and majority to work together … it has to be equal 50-50”

Proposals for the commission are still being shared but one thing is for sure and it’s the fact Democrats do not want an even playing field. But why? Most likely they will learn Trump really was innocent in the event and their second sham impeachment trial really was a waste of time.
