Sen. Tuberville skeptical of commission to review storming of Capitol

[Initech]

Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville expressed skepticism Wednesday about a proposed commission to review the seizing of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.

The proposal is expected to pass the Democrat-controlled House of Representatives on Wednesday but one Alabama congressman, Republican Jerry Carl of Mobile, said in a statement he would not support it.

“What we have heard is it is very partisan and we will have nothing to do with that,” Tuberville said in a conference call with Alabama reporters. “I don’t want this to be a witch hunt. It’s over with. We pretty much know what happened.

“Most of us were here anyway. We saw what happened. We don’t need a commission to tell us. But we’ll see what happens in the near future. I don’t think you’re going to get many Republicans to vote for any commission unless it is 100 percent bipartisan.”

If I was a betting man, I would bet good money he's guilty of colluding with the rioters. He was at the meeting at the Trump Hotel.

1. Tuberville was there -- he doesn't need a commission to tell him

that he was definitely colluding with the rioters.

Might be nice for the rest of us to have it on record though.

2. Tubby claims the republiQons will have "nothing to do with partisanship."

What a baldface lie. What a crock.

9. Which also puts the lie to Tommy's assertion that "we know what happened here"

Thanks again, Alabama.

10. Tuberville said he can't support the commission "until they make it bipartisan." (Forbes)

The guy's a liar and a dumbass. He doesn't know what bipartisan means. The commission was the result of bipartisan negotiations in the House. It will be split evenly between Republican and Democratic appointees, and both parties will share subpoena power.

18. What does that even mean?

Like the democrats had a competing rally?

[chocolatpi]

3. It's also the GOP circle the wagons' tactic

while pretending to consider it. They are now all LIARS and those who remain silent while trying to destroy our democracy.

4. Tommy may know something about football, but that is all he knows.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

5. He's in desperate competition with Ron Johnson

over who is the dumbest Senator.

6. Insurrections tend to be partisan, I guess

Hey Tuberville, how about the people that don't want to have any more partisan insurrections, you stupid fool?

If nothing else, we need a commission to find out why so many republicans suck up to Trump. There's something going on there that is not good for democracy, and we need to get to the bottom of it.

14. By Definition - Isn't An Insurrection Partisan?....

Next insurrection could be partisan too - only the other Party.

Don't you want to put measures in place to prevent that?

[Ohioboy]

15. Yep! Exactly!

I don't see how an insurrection could not be partisan. You put forth the idea of a bipartisan effort to prevent another insurrection and they call that partisan too. You can't work with these idiots, especially when they know their side is guilty as hell.

7. Ask him if the time and resources spent on the endless and fruitless Benghazi investigations

had "nothing to do with partisanship." His non-answer would be along the lines of "Well I wasn't here then and had nothing to do with those."

8. If Tuberville was any fucking dumber, he would need to be watered twice a week.

[Funtatlaguy]

11. Good one. The former football coach got hit in his head too much.

[global1]

12. It's Not Just A Commission To Tell Them What Happened....

It's a commission to also put in place procedures/laws/policies/measures to prevent anything like this from happening again.

Look what the 9/11 Commission determined and put in place to prevent future 9/11's.

The Repugs and the former guy are acting like guilty parties. They can't handle the truth.

[Mr.Bill]

13. Just a reminder,

In Washington DC, "bipartisan" is code for "It's not gonna happen"

[Buckeye_Democrat]

16. As Liz Cheney said, several of her fellow Republicans...

... don't want an investigation because they were guilty of assisting it.

[turbinetree]

17. Hey Tubby do ducks have windshield wipers on there ass.............

you make about as much sense ...........
