GOP Senators Susan Collins, spoke out against Nancy Pelosi’s far-left commission designed to investigate the January 6th Capitol Riot.
As The Daily Wire reports:
Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) ripped House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) Sunday for creating a “partisan” commission to investigate the January 6th Capitol riot.
Collins, a moderate Republican in the Senate, backed creating the commission to investigate the riot. She pulled support, however, after Pelosi shot down two proposed GOP commission members from House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy. To represent the GOP, Pelosi unilaterally installed two of her own Republicans on the committee: Reps. Liz Cheney (WY) and Adam Kinzinger (IL).
“I fought very hard to have an independent, bipartisan, nonpartisan, outside commission to look at all of the events of that day and I was very disappointed that it was not approved,” Collins said during an appearance on CNN’s “State of the Union” with host Jake Tapper. “I think it would have had far more credibility than Speaker Pelosi’s partisan committee that she has set up. But we should have had a 9/11-style commission to fully look at what happened.”
Tapper then claimed that the commission Collins wanted did not happen because Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell opposed the bill that would have created it. The host then questioned Collins over whether she trusted the Republicans that Pelosi installed on the committee without McCarthy’s approval.
“I do not think it was right for the Speaker to decide which Republicans should be on the committee,” says GOP Sen. Susan Collins on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s decision to reject two of House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy’s picks for the Jan. 6 select committee. #CNNSOTU pic.twitter.com/eazGtG9509

Collins is usually considered a moderate or even a RINO by many, making her statements against Pelosi that much more noteable.
She is the WORST of the RINO’s and needs to be put out to pasture. SHAKEY SUSAN…..absolutely worthless
She voted for this commission, what did she think Pelosi was going to do, now she is playing stupid. Probably had backlash from constituents. Can’t stand her she is a RHINO
Susan Collins has no right to complain. She’s part of the problem
begging for re-election , which she won’t get. useless RINO
I agree, but she has competition, namely Mitt Romney and of course the two RINO bozos that Pelosi had picked for the committee.
Susan Collins is just one more CATHOLIC TRAITOR.
You are getting very boring
A sidestep is not a rebuttal….CATHOLICS that call themselves ‘r’ do not like Roe v Wade. CATHOLICS that call themselves d’ do not like guns…….. CATHOLICS are NOT Americans, they are CATHOLICS…….Vote for ANY CATHOLIC and you vote for a traitor and failure forever.
Nancy Pelosi Is not only worthless she is nothing but seriously DANGEROUS FOR OUR COUNTRY. this is only my opinion, but from the beginning believed that Jan 6 riot was nothing but planned and directed buy crooks in the DEMOCRATIC PARTY WHO BLAMED IT ON TRUMP AND CONTINUE TO DO SO. THATS WHY NANCY PELOSI HAS FILLED HER INVESTIGATIONS WITNESSES WITH TRUMP HSTERS SUCH AS OUT OF CONTROL HATE DRIVEN LIZ CHENEY AND HER KIND TO BE STAR FIGURES ON HER CAREFULLY SELECTED WITNESSES AND FORBIDDEN SENATORS LIKE JIM JORDAN AND OTHR REPUBLICAN RECOMMENDED BY MAJORITY LEADER MC CARTHY GAVE HER. She knows the truth would INDITE SHE AND HER ILK FOR BEING RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CAPITAL UPRISING JAN 6, THE TRUTH MAY STILL COME OUT REGARDLESS OF HER POWER BARRIERS
OWNER OF THE HOUSE PELOSI HAS CONSTRUCTED. I THINK RINO SENATOR MCCONNELL SHOULD KEEP HIS OPINION TO HIMSELF SIDED WITH THE DEMOCRATS ABOUT THIS MATTER TOO. Pelosi must be dethroned and get some justice seeking Americans form both parties on the Committee if we have that many unbiased Democrats!.
Even the traitor RINOS are turning on them. Hope they kill each other.
Fred…I would care less if I read in the paper that Nancy Pelosi had a good heart attack, stroke, drunk driver collision, etc.
How about my favorite: falling down an elevator shaft?
With a gentle nudge 😉. all the botox in that witch she would bounce like silly putty
i wouldn’t lose sleep over it. i don’t wish anyone i’ll, but wouldn’t lose sleep and if she does a painful death like her killing unborn, i have no sympathy for her suffering
With a gentle nudge 😉. all the botox in that witch she would bounce like silly putty
RINO and CATHOLIC are the same.
I know Collin’s is shakey but I have to give her kudos for stepping up and at least saying the right thing this time….ALL of the Republican representatives should have been squawking about this….aside from the fact it was voted down and it never should have been formed in the first place….Piglosi had to take it one step further and use her tyrannical force to say who could and could not be on it…..complete sham… just like all her other efforts to try and degrade and disgrace Trump and anybody who supports him…..she is evil to the core…..and number 1 enemy….
She pulled a Lindsay Graham.
Probably….but at least she didn’t pull a Liz Cheney or that disgusting little man who cried…Kinzinger….sad we always have to be on guard as to who the enemies are within…hope all get it figured out before the election….
Seasoned prosecutors say, “if a person cries on the stand, 99% of the time the testimony given is a lie..
Collins, Murkowski, Pelosi, Cuomo, Pelosi are all CATHOLIC traitors. Look for RINO and you have a CATHOLIC TRAITOR. CATHOLICS that call themselves ‘r’ do not like Roe v Wade. CATHOLICS that call themselves d’ do not like guns…….. CATHOLICS are NOT Americans, they are CATHOLICS…….Vote for ANY CATHOLIC and you vote for a traitor and failure forever.
I’m sorry…….she deserves no credit for anything…….human dung
CATHOLIC is dung.
The bureaucracy was subverted by Obama, including the military senior command, for the benefit of the elites. When the voters elected Trump, the bureaucracy and elites decided that free elections and freedom of speech are far to dangerous to be allowed in the future. Biden is just a straw man, who is allowed to hold the title of President, but has no mental ability left. The elites have formed a virtual cartel to divide up the world.
Nice try Susan but you cant fix stupid.
SHE IS A RHINO…..SHE HAS SIDED WITH THE DEMS/FRAUDS MANY MANY TIMES…..THIS IS A PERSON THE REPUBLICANS “CANNOT” TRUST!!!!!!! COLLINS HAS A TRADER…….(IN MOST TERMS….SHE IS TREASONIST!!!!!). PELOSI IS A DICTATOR/COMMUNIST !!!!!!! (“NEVER A DEVOTE CATHOLIC!) SHE WOULD SELL HER OWN CHILDREN IF SHE THOUGHT SHE COULD HET A GOOD DEAL!!!!!!!!
“Moderate Republican” the article says. Baloney. She is a Loony Leftist. She is no more Republican than Barack Hussein Obama.
She doesn’t understand what is going on at all… she is a rino and knows nothing to say what she did unless she is like the other liars and just lying..what a bunch of crap…makes me ill
Collins believes the same things as Pelosi. She just has much less political power than Pelosi. A no good RINO like Collins should be primary-ed ASAP.
An independent and non-partisan commission similar to the Warren Commission should have been formed to investigate the Jan. 6 riot to establish impartiality and unquestioned credibility. Also, the scope of investigation should have been expanded to cover all riots staged far and wide in the past especially those that turned wild and deadly like those led by BLM not only to determine responsibility but also to find out the root causes, to enable government to intelligently address the issues and possibly minimize their recurrence in the future. Finally, I hold a strong view that Speaker Pelosi, a Democrat, have no right choosing committee members coming from the opposition. She should at least have the courtesy to grant the opposition the sole right and authority to appoint their own representative to the commission.
There was no riot…..just a field trip to the US capitol. Everyone had a nice time. Not even CLOSE to the demonrat destruction that goes unreported and unpunished.
This interview is disgusting. Collins is so WRONG! Jan 6 was planned by the Democrats & included BLM & Antifa dressed as Trump Supporters – Trump didn’t know about this but the FBI &, probably Pelosi knew what was going to happen before it happened & she didn’t ask for more police because they don’t want BLMers & Antifaers harmed! I have a video showing the Police (which police I don’t know) escorting BLM & Antifa onto the Capitol grounds & then Police opening the doors of the Capitol to BLM & Antifa (and Trump supporters that got caught in the push to get up the stairs and into the building). This whole thing is a fix – pure BS!
I’d love to see that video!!!
No question that Lt Dunn was inserting BLM thugs into the Capital before or after he murdered Ashli Babbit.
There is a different kind of hell not of this world coming for Jake Tapper
NO we do not trust Kinzinger and we sure as hell don’t trust Cheney
This “lady” should NEVER have been voted. in again. Aside from the fact that she’s got some kind of Parkinsons, OR some “other” neurological disease, she’s not “wrapped too “.tight”.I’d “say” that her brain is not “working”, kinda like Biden. It’s “tuff” aging, BUT you gotta “figure it out” & “it’s TIME” to let it go. Susan Collins should “let it go”& NOT run again.
Personally I do not like nor trust Susan Collins, she is a RINO. But in this case she is spot on.
So Collins has upgraded from RINO to FAKE Republican. All it means is she talks like a Republican in public but SUCKS Democrap RECTUM in Private like the MORON MEDIA does. She is just like McConnell.
Why can’t I take Susan Collins seriously? Did she run out of Republicans to stab in the back?
Collins is just one more CATHOLIC TRAITOR.
Pelosi. McConnel and Pence were behind the 6th Capital riots, funded by these wicked people. BLM and Antifa thugs, dressed up as Trump supporters ! All planned to make President Trump look bad
You must remember, or did you forgot, Nancy Pelosi is solely responsible for installing “OBAMA CARE”, into law. Remember, you can’t read it until you vote and pass this law. The law with the greatest tax increase in American History. Most American’s do not and cannot use their Obama Care, because the out of pocket expense is so high. If you have cancer, it works out well. But allof you fools keep paying the FILTHY criminal way of the Socialists Democrats as, Obama, Hillary Clinton, Comey, Pelosi, SChumer and 50 more Criminal…………. and GOP McConnel, the House Senate Leader, is in that group. He and his Chinese wife also have investments in China. This should be stopped with a law. Get your ass out of of government and my pocket, and sttend to your business?
This investigation into Jan 6 , will not have any credibility whatsoever, it’s a sham just like the previous impeachment circuses,
Especially with liars like Shiffless Shiff ,
Crying like a child !!
They couldn’t handle true Republicans
Involved because the real truth would come out,
So they put dishonest so called lame Republicans in, who knew??
Jake Tapper is a serial liar and Susan Collins is not much better. Hopefully she is in her last term.
What a jellyfish. No backbone or credibility as a Senator.
Collins is just one more CATHOLIC traitor….CATHOLICS that call themselves ‘r’ do not like Roe v Wade. CATHOLICS that call themselves d’ do not like guns…….. CATHOLICS are NOT Americans, they are CATHOLICS…….Vote for ANY CATHOLIC and you vote for a traitor and failure forever.
When does this shit end?! If they don’t start arresting these criminals, then we the people will have to enforce the law! We cannot allow those reptile creatures to stay in power any longer! We need God’s intervention NOW!
