House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) is unhappy with House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) Tuesday over his refusal to accept the proposed January 6 commission to be voted on Wednesday.
“I’m very pleased that we have a bipartisan bill to come to the floor,” Pelosi told reporters. “And [it’s] disappointing but not surprising that the cowardice on the part of some on the Republican side not to want to find the truth.”
The White House also released a statement in support of Pelosi’s commission:
While the federal government has already begun taking action to improve the safety and security of the U.S. Capitol, the administration supports the proposed bipartisan, independent national commission to study and investigate the facts and circumstances surrounding the January 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol.
