The first Republican senator has announced support for current legislation to establish a bipartisan commission to investigate the Jan. 6th Capitol riot. On Monday, Utah Senator Mitt Romney said he plans to vote yes to the bill.
The Hill reports:
Asked how he would vote if Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) tried to start debate on the House bill, a move that requires 60 votes to defeat a filibuster, Romney told reporters, “I would support the bill.”
Romney wasn’t asked how he would vote on final passage of the House bill, which would need only a simple majority. Spokespeople for Romney didn’t immediately respond to a question about if he would change his vote after helping defeat a GOP filibuster.
But Romney’s comments come as Schumer has vowed that he will bring the bill up for a vote, setting up what could be the first successful filibuster of the 117th Congress.
Schumer hasn’t said when he’ll bring up the House bill but characterized the timing on Monday as “very soon.”
So far a number of Republican senators including Mitch McConnell have announced they oppose the bill in its current form. Republicans want to widen the scope of the investigation to include political violence from last summer’s riot which plagued American cities.

How SOON can the great state of Utah REPLACE Romney and get a REAL Republican into that Senate seat?
Not soon enough! Believe me….I live in Utah and Romney is nothing but an embarrassment! I cringe every time he opens his mouth!
I live right next door in Wyoming, where we have Liz Cheney. Believe me, I can sympathize.
Did a REAL republican ever run against globalist puppet romney and if they do, globalist puppet $oro$ voter fraud will reappoint globalist puppet romney .
Not soon enough. I voted for this POS.
His current term ends on January, 2025 but Utahns should their check state constitution and see if there is a recall provisions they could use before 2025.
Can I get an AMEN to this request
Once again waste our money for something that will only be used to demonize President Trump. Thank God he will never win re-election in Utah.
globalist puppet romney is a fantastic globalist puppet and globalist puppet $oro$ will continue to use his voter fraud to reappoint globalist puppet romney .
You got that right!
The red fascists work relentlessly on oppressing, censoring, persecuting, shutting down political opposition. It’s all run-if-the-mill socialism.
You mean the democrats. BLM member was at the Capitol telling people to riot and cause violence
Wonder if he had the backing of the church when he got elected. Must have since why would people VOTE for this RINO. Any one with half a brain should have known how it was when it was a gov and how that played out. The people In UTAH know him for what he is and I do believe started a RECALL on him. Maybe it is time to do a new one, and this time go all the way.
His son, Pelosi’s son, and Kerry’s son all work for the Ukraine Government of course they need to look in Jan 6th they planned the whole fiasco. So now we have to elect a committee to protect these Anti American Criminals in Office.
Heather, who voted for this chump Romney? He could care less about Utah or America. He’s a slimeball with money and nothing more. Sore loser is all he has in his resume. Embarrassment to all conservatives
When he first came to Utah and helped out with the Olympics he was great, very well liked! But when he started turning against Trump and wanted attention on his own because of his jealousy of President Trump that is when the opinion about him started to change strongly!
Like McCain… once a traitor, always a traitor!😜
WHEN ARE THEY GOING TO INVESTIGATE HUNTER BIDEN!!!
You and I could be in a nursing home or dead by then. Ain’t gonna happen.
The commission will discover all the evidence against globalist puppet $oro$ hiring globalist puppet, libby snow flake sheep and transporting them to washington dc and dressing them in MAGA hats and MAGA shirts and paying them to invade the capitol at the same exact time that 1,000,000 AMERICANS were one mile away enjoying a Trump peaceful speech .
You would think that Romney has been kicked in the head so much that his hatred for President Trump would be attenuated so he would stop making a fool of himself – but I guess hatred just hides behind a political smile.
One, well-placed rifle-shot………………………………
Who gives a big fat damn what this stupid arse says ?
Romney is GUILTY OF TREASON AND COLUSION TO OVER THROUGH THE DULEY ELECTED PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP! HANG THE BASTARD!
no big surprise here. I wish he would do his research before he makes a decision. There are videos out there that prove that BLM and AntiFa were involved. But no, anything to hurt President Trump is what he will stand for.
Hahaha, is anyone really surprised by this turn coat’s actions??? I’m not!
Hopefully when the time comes the great people of Utah haven’t forgotten.
Like lizzie, he’s a problem within our party.
People!! The democrats are funding BLM and Antifa! They don’t want anything bad to happen to these lovely Democrat criminals. They want to save the punishment for proAmerican patriots!! Hooray, Democrats (or should I have said Chinese Communists).
Out damn spot! When are we going to get Rino Romney out??
A lot of losers in Congress to name a few, ROMMEY, Cheney, Busse! Traitors, need to kick to curb also Murowski, Collins too!
Mitt the snit is not a conservative or a Republican. The good people of Utah need to kick this phony to the curb. Vote him out of office as soon as possible. We need REAL conservative who are willing to fight for the Republican Party platform. Mitt the snit is not that person.
Romney is a traitor to the American people! If he is joining in with the Dem.’s and any other Republican joining really don’t care about the people all they care about is their own power and elitism that’s what they have in common with the left and should lose there positions with in the party and let them become Demosocialist’s! The republican party really don’t need them! Liz Cheyne is right in with them and that’s why she lost her chair! so should the rest who follow them! Were trying to keep our great country from socialism and the only thing these RINO’s should be concerned with is fighting socialism not the working man! But I forget, these people are elitist’s, not working people!
LISTEN UP….IF THEY are Going to Have a JAN 6th COMMISSION than THEY Need ONE for the BLM/ANTIFA RIOTS. WHATS Good for the GOOSE is Good for the GANDER. UNDERSTAND???? From SamuraiQueen. 😄😄😄
Romney is pathetic. Americans cannot stand these rinos who betray their country.
How can these idiots be so ignorant? There are already nine ongoing investigations into Jan. 6. THE ONLY reason Democrats want this commission is so they can spend the next eighteen months ‘leaking’ and giving the weekly Schiff inspired “I’ve seen the evidence” media briefings in order to demoralize Republican voters into staying away from the polls in 2022.
They will likely get their commission, they’ll call if “bipartisan” because of 50/50 R and D but as it is written PELOSI gets to pick the staffers, they are the people who bring the ‘evidence’ to the commission, she will chose those staffers who will do her bidding.
We all need to remember, no matter what they claim, that we MUST get out and vote in 2022. If we do not take back the House and the Senate the country we love will be a memory.
Mitt the plastic Chucky…is he perchance Nancy’s secret love child? If so, the apple falleth not far from the tree…
HEY UTAH !…In an effort to show full transparency….Why don’t you just vote Democrat and stop hiding behind a conservative curtain. You’re stinking the place up!
Rino lifer politician that needs to retire –
Romney turn out to be total brainless looser.
