May 23, 2021 Republicans, Trump cultists

“I think it’s too early to create a commission, and I believe Republicans in the Senate will decide that it’s too early to create that commission,” Blunt told “Fox News Sunday” host Chris Wallace.

“Commissions often don’t work at all and when they do work, like the Simpson-Bowles commission, produced a good result, nothing happened as part of that result.”

Blunt argued that the 9/11 Commission was formed about 14 months after the terrorist attacks of Sep. 11, 2001 and said it would take several months for a similar commission to look into the Jan. 6 siege of the Capitol to be created.
