Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) became the first Republican senator to share that he would vote for a January 6 commission bill recently passed by the House of Representatives.
The Utah senator tossed his support behind the bill passed by the House. The bill needs 10 Republican senators to pass.
“I would support the bill,” Romney said.
The bill was passed by the House on May 19 in a 252-175 vote — 35 Republicans voted in favor of it. The independent commission would investigate the U.S. Capitol riot on January 6.
Mitt Romney, who had expressed some reservations of the Jan. 6 commission bill, just told me he would be a YES if the bill came forward for a vote.
“I would support the bill.”

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) noted that he plans to bring the bill to the Senate floor in an effort to create an independent commission.
The White House has slammed lawmakers who they say have turned “this into a political issue.” White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said last week that it is “incredibly disappointing to see how many representatives have opted to turn this into a political issue instead of doing what’s right for our country and our constitution.”
Additionally, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) previously said in response to the lack of Republican support for a commission, “All I say to my Republican friends and I do have them, is take back your party. This is the Grand Old Party, a party that has done so much for our country.”
Interesting how Democrats are so hell bent on finding out “the truth” about Jan. 6, but no interest in the truth from Nov. 3rd!
Traitor RINO Romney should be Kicked the Hell OUT of GOVT !!!! 2021
Too Bad they did not get a hold of his ass on Jan 06, 2021 roaming the halls of congress !!!!!
Was Hillarious seeing him on video scramble in the Hall to seek cover !!!! Dummy !!!!
Another Taxpayer SPONGE !!!!!
I would NOT refer to him as a GOP Senator…..
Results of the commission can be guessed with 95% certainty.
And there certainly are more
As far as Romney goes he is a Democrat Puppet with the crimes he has committed in China and Ukraine with the Democrats. He will do whatever they command. I still think we should start with Pelosi, Mayor of D.C. and Capitol Police in the investigation and how many Antifa and BLM they bussed in dressed as Trump Supporters to build their story. I also think they should give the name of the Capitol Officer who shot and killed the unarmed woman. They are seconds revealing a police officer who shoots a black person before the gun get cold. What are they hiding there?????????
got some big ass pussies in Utah cant see him staying in office
Wait a minute here. Think bigger picture. Each day the CONgress isnt passing anything by focusing on commissions, not agreeing on anything, even perceived infighting are days closer to Nov 2024 with less damage. Mit saying ok to commission. That will go on for months with the lefties thinking thats a win. Cheney, Greene….pauses by Senate for approving trillions more.
