I'm Steve Inskeep, and I'm Rachel Martin. Good morning. Just 35 Republicans joined House Democrats approving legislation last night to create a commission investigating the January 6th attack on the U. S. Capitol. GOP co sponsor of the plan is New York Congressman John Cat Co. Here's what he said before the vote. I urge all of you in the body, all of you on both sides, not just my side and not just your side. All of us to set aside politics just this once, just this once. But top House and Senate Republican leaders came out against the plan just hours before the House vote, drawing ire from even some members of Capitol police. NPR congressional reporter Claudia Chrysalis is covering this and joins us now. Good morning, Claudia. Good morning, Rachel. So we'll remember the sounds and the images from that day right? Trump supporters stormed the capital building marauded around the offices of lawmakers. There were chance of hang Mike Pence by some And yet only 35. Republicans in the House of Representatives want to investigate this? Yes, write. It marks another loyalty test to former President Trump, who put pressure on top House Republican Kevin McCarthy and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell to reject it. And they followed suit, saying it's duplicative of other investigations and has to narrow the scope soon after a group of Capitol police officers anonymously sent a letter to lawmakers, expressing quote, profound disappointment for the opposition. It was inconceivable to see some members downplaying the events of January six Cat Co. In particular, struck an emotional note is he again reiterated this is not about politics and named officers, one by one who died after the insurrection or will left with physical and mental scars with sickle. Listen. Want these officers, their families to know that we're doing it, not for us. Not for politics. We're doing it for them. How did Republicans responded that Claudia? Well, we saw these 35 that you mentioned revolt and vote for the commission and this a sizeable, especially when we compared to the 10 House Republicans. Voted with Democrats for Trump's second impeachment for his role in the attack, and perhaps Cat Coe's remarks and others focusing on law enforcement. Embolden these GOP members. Ohio Democrat Tim Ryan was especially heated in his remarks on what this means for bipartisanship. Let's take a listen This is a slap in the face to every rank and file cop in the United States. If we're going to take on China, if we're going to rebuild the country if we're going to reverse climate change, we need to political parties in this country that are both living in reality, and you ain't one of them. That said, We saw some surprise GOP members break with their parties such as Illinois Congressman Rodney Davis. He's a key critic of Democrats and the top Republican on the committee that oversees Capitol police for wow striking clip from Congressman Ryan there so Let's think about the possibility that the commission actually goes forward. This would be modeled after the 9 11 panel that investigated theater tax on September 11th. How would this actually work? It's very similar to that panel with a sample shows a 10 member commission with half picked by Democrats, the other half by Republicans. It has bipartisan subpoena power, and it would have a report due by December. 31st. It came together four months after the attack, with House leaders designating the top members on the Homeland Security Committee to reach a deal before they oppose the plan in recent days. Does this have a chance in the Senate? Senate Majority leader Chuck Schumer said he's bringing the commission to the floor regardless of this GOP opposition. But Democrats need 10 Republicans to join them there, and they don't have that right now..
