North Carolina Senator Richard Burr who voted to convict former President Trump is opposing legislation to create a bipartisan commission to investigate January 6th. Wednesday evening, the House moved the piece of legislation forward with a 252-175 vote. Now the bill faces a rocky fate as Republican Senators like Mitch McConnell have already voiced their plans to oppose the legislation.

The Hill reports:

“These investigations are being led by the committees with jurisdiction, and I believe, as I always have, this is the appropriate course. I don’t believe establishing a new commission is necessary or wise,” Burr said.

Burr, who is not running for reelection, is the first of the seven GOP senators who voted to convict former President Trump of inciting an insurrection to say they would formally oppose it.

Sens. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.) and Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) are undecided. Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) has declined to weigh in.

Sens. Susan Collins (R-Maine) and Mitt Romney (R-Utah) are pushing for changes to the proposal, including clarity on who gets to hire the staff. Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) has indicated that he’s inclined to support a commission.

Sen. Burr’s early opposition to the bill notes that it will likely have an uphill battle in the Senate.

Recently, House Leader Kevin McCarthy opposed the bill because Nancy Pelosi refused to expand the scope of the investigation to include the political violence in American cities last summer.

Trump recently blasted the 35 “wayward”  House Republicans what voted in favor of the bill.

“See, 35 wayward Republicans—they just can’t help themselves. We have much better policy and are much better for the Country, but the Democrats stick together, the Republicans don’t,” Trump wrote. “They don’t have the Romney’s, Little Ben Sasse’s, and Cheney’s of the world. Unfortunately, we do. Sometimes there are consequences to being ineffective and weak. The voters understand!”
