Rep. Sherrill: If This Nation Is Going to Heal, If We’re Going to Protect Our Democracy We Need a Jan. 6 Commission

EXCERPT:

SHERRILL: "You know, I guess that’s in part why some of the news last night was quite good news to me, because some of the members that I really respect and I’ve gotten to know and I know they’re working hard for the country were among those who voted for the commission. You know, it’s easy to say, 'Well, of course they voted for a bipartisan independent commission,' but the Republican Party is not known for running a loose ship, shall we say. And that was I think important, important for them to put this country first and I’m glad to see they did that. It continues to be tough when you hear that January 6th was a tourism event. I’m shocked by that narrative and this continued attempt to whitewash the events of that day for political purposes. I think if this nation is going to heal, if we’re going to protect our democracy and create a more resilient democracy, we have to address the events of that day, and that should be something that every single member of Congress wants to do."
