Former President Calls for Jan. 6 Commission Debate to End ‘Immediately'

His 'order' comes as the House intends to vote in favor of the commission

Former President Donald Trump called for an immediate end to the debate over a commission to investigate the Jan. 6 Capitol riot the night before the House is expected to approve the plan.

"Republicans in the House and Senate should not approve the Democrat trap of the January 6 commission. It is just more partisan unfairness and unless the murders, riots and fire bombings in Portland, Minneapolis, Seattle, Chicago and New York are also going to be studied, this discussion should be ended immediately," Trump issued in a statement Tuesday night.

"Republicans must get much tougher and much smarter, and stop being used by the Radical Left. Hopefully, Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy are listening," he added.
