And good evening, we begin tonight with what we've learned as Republican senators get ready

to block the creation of a bipartisan commission to investigate the January 6 attack on the

Capitol and democracy.

The vote could come in this hour, but we know how this will end.

It will be blocked by Republicans, which may sound like a political statement by me, but

it's not.

It's a political statement by those Republicans.

It's a statement of fealty to the man who inspired the insurrection and praised the attackers,

the former president.

The inability to form a bipartisan commission to look into an attack on all of us is a betrayal

of all of us.

As the Wall Street Journal of Gerald Seabed put said, quoting from a recent column, the

political system will have shown that it remains incapable of reversing the very problems

that produce the violence in the first place.

So the partisanship rampant mistrust of the other side a new willingness to question

election results, which is perhaps too kind for incapable, maybe read, unwilling, because

this isn't a failure of the system.

It's obstruction by certain members of it ahead in the Senate.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, who's been working hard to kill the measure had

this to say about it earlier.

We all saw what happened.

We were witnesses.
