DSCC Statement on Johnson & Rubio’s Vote Against Bipartisan January 6th Commission

DSCC spokesperson Jazmin Vargas issued the following statement on Senators Ron Johnson and Marco Rubio’s vote to block the bipartisan commission to investigate the deadly January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol:

“By voting against a bipartisan, impartial examination of the deadly insurrection on January 6th, Sens. Johnson, Rubio, and Senate Republicans sent a clear message to voters: they aren’t strong enough to stand up to Trump and do what’s right for our country, and their only goal in the Senate is looking out for their own self-serving political interests.” 

Here’s what they’re saying about Sen. Johnson and Rubio: 

• (FL) Orlando Sentinel Editorial: Time to give up on Marco Rubio, who will never do the right thing if there’s any risk.
• (FL) Miami Herald Editorial: Here’s your chance to prove you’re more than a Trump sycophant, Sen. Rubio.
• (WI) The Cap Times: Editorial: Expel Ron Johnson from the Senate
• (WI) The Hill: Ron Johnson: Jan. 6 Capitol riot was a largely ‘peaceful protest’
