Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez calls the Capitol riot an 'all-out attempted coup' and hints her House colleagues are too scared to talk about it
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called the January 6th MAGA riot at the US Capitol 'an all-out attempted coup'
She said colleagues still traumatized and it's affected policy making
Comments came after the House passed a bill that would create a commission to investigate the January 6 MAGA riot, with a vote of 252-175
Thirty-five Republicans defected from leadership and voted in favor of the bill that would create a bipartisan commission with subpoena power
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy came out against the bill Tuesday, followed by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell on Wednesday
'I beg you to pass this bill,' said Republican Rep. John Katko, who had negotiated with Democrats to get the bill finished
Katko received applause on the House floor for saying the legislation was dedicated to members of the Capitol Police and their families
Earlier, an un-official letter from some members of the Capitol Police circulated shaming Republicans for not wanting to investigate January 6
