Mitch McConnell: I Am Open to an ‘Even’ 9/11 Commission To Investigate the Capitol Hill Riot

‘But it’s got to be even like the 9/11 commission was’

EXCERPT:

MCCONNELL: "For or against investigating? Well, some of our committees have been having hearings on that very subject this week. I’m open to a 9/11-type commission, but it’s got to be even, like the 9/11 commission was. If we're going to do an outside commission review of the events of January 6th, it needs to be structured similar to the 9/11 commission. And you might have noticed that the chairs of the 9/11 commission have already come out against Nancy Pelosi’s approach to this because it’s not balanced. That one was balanced. Both Lee Hamilton and Tom Kean who chaired that outside commission back after 9/11 even refused to go on Sunday shows except together. It was a totally bipartisan effort, that’s what's needed in order to have credibility attached to the final report. That kind of commission I'm open to, nothing close to what the Speaker is proposing am I open to."
