Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) is urging Republicans to vote against the creation of a Jan. 6 commission. Speaking on the senate floor on Thursday, McConnell argued against the formation of a bipartisan group that would be tasked with looking into the Capitol breach.<\/p>\n<p>During his speech, McConnell continued to push that a commission is unnecessary because Jan. 6 is already being investigated by congressional committees and by law enforcement.<\/p>\n<p>House Democrats passed a bill last week that would pave the way for the commission. Although, the measure faces an uphill battle in the Senate where it needs support from at least 10 Republicans in order to pass.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">McConnell Strongly Supports January 6th Investigations, Opposes Extra Commission<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/6teldICXGD\">https:\/\/t.co\/6teldICXGD<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Senator McConnell Press (@McConnellPress) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/McConnellPress\/status\/1397973411482193924?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 27, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>GOP leaders have strongly opposed the proposed commission, arguing its uncalled for and would prevent the nation from healing.
