Background

On January 6, 2021, terrorists stormed the Capital in the “worst attack on our democracy since the Civil War.” The violence directed at police officers and the US Constitution was incited by the President himself.

Obscured by the chaos were fundamental questions. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi proposed in February a Congressional Riot Commission to uncover the answers.

Republicans oppose it because it threatens to indict their base and their spiritual leader.

We need to know about:

Coordinated disinformation campaigns,
Financing of extremist networks,
Foreign influence,
White supremacist violence.

The FBI says that the insurrection wasn’t an isolated event and it won’t be the last.

Therefore, we should never forget this happened. Or that it will happen again.

More than 60% of Republicans continue to believe the Big Lie, that Trump’s election was stolen by massive voter fraud. And more than half believe the violence was committed by left-wing activists to make Trump look bad.

A commission report won’t be an epiphany for Trump’s hard-core supporters. But it will likely influence independents. Moreover, if the causes are understood, measures can be taken to prevent similar events in the future.

Call your MoC now to push for uncovering the truth about January 6.
