Rep. Tim Ryan (D-OH) on Wednesday took aim at Republicans who opposed the formation of a Jan. 6 commission by accusing them of not “living in reality” after the Capitol insurrection that former President Trump incited killed five people.
In a floor speech on Wednesday ahead of vote deciding whether to form an independent commission to investigate the Capitol insurrection on Jan. 6, Ryan didn’t mince words when blasting Republicans who are opposed to the commission.
After thanking the handful of Republicans in support of the commission’s formation, Ryan loudly expressed his disbelief towards the majority of his colleagues on the other side of the aisle for their opposition to the commission.

WASHINGTON The U.S. House voted Wednesday 252-175 to give the go-ahead to the formation of an independent, bipartisan commission that would investigate the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, despite objections from Republican leaders that the scope of the commission was not wide enough and other investigations are ongoing.
Thirty-five Republicans joined with Democrats in backing the measure, which would set up a 10-member commission styled on the panel that investigated the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, with appointed members split evenly between Democrats and Republicans.
