See below for video of former Rep. Barbara Comstock (R-VA10) on Meet the Press this morning. According to Comstock:
“…many of [the Republican Senators] did acknowledge what many Republicans have not acknowledged, which is that this WAS a violent assault on the Capitol that can never happen again, and that it DOES need to be fully investigated…This will still be investigated, because subpoenas will get the facts, we’ll find out who organized that mob, how it was orchestrated, who directed them down to the Capitol to assault the Capitol…So I am still optimistic that…the truth will come out. You know, from decades past, that I have worked on investigations, and when people try to hold these things back, it always come out in the end. That’s why I think, both for the country as well as for Republicans, it would be better to do it sooner rather than later…Our officers are hurting right now, people need to know that those Capitol officers that they walk by every day, they want a commission, they are hurting, they are leaving in droves…This has to be addressed.”
