WATCH: Sen. Bill Cassidy Supports 9/11-Style Commission To Investigate Capitol Riots

Senator Bill Cassidy (R-LA), who was one of seven Republicans to vote for Trump’s impeachment, joined with two Democratic colleagues in calling for a 9/11-styled commission to investigate the Capitol riots on January 6.

During an interview with ABC’s “The Week”, Cassidy said “I think there should be a complete investigation about what happened on January 6. Why was there not more law enforcement, National Guard already mobilized, what was known, who knew it, and when they knew it, all that, because that builds the basis so this never happens again in the future.”

Cassidy also spoke about his vote to impeach Trump and said “It was clear that [Trump] wished that lawmakers be intimidated. And even after he knew there was violence taking place, he continued to basically sanction the mob being there, and not until later that he actually asked [them] to leave.”
