Coup, I hope you have a good weekend. Thank you very much. I'm Chris Cuomo. Welcome to prime time.

We're awaiting a big vote tonight in the Senate. Could happen on our watch. The Trump Party is

expected to block legislation to create a bipartisan commission to investigate the insurrection.

And why? Well, this is the offered explanation.

I do not believe the additional extraneous commission that democratic leaders want would uncover

It's not a thing to say, isn't it? It's also odd that Mr. McConnell asked his colleagues for a

make sure it never happens again. Now he says he opposes the House past bill with the excuse

he made them angry, he gave them the incentive to act and they took it. And now his party,

because they too are acting at his direction or choosing better to cover for terrorists who

attacked the Capitol. Better to whitewash history, better to call them tourists and peaceful

patriots. Then to do or say anything that may sell the Teflon Don or more importantly ruffle the
