Democrats are not giving up. They are not wanting to investigate the violent democrat protests of the last year which resulted in billions of dollars in property damage and hundreds of injuries and death. They want, instead, to open up another purely partisan democrat witchhunt based upon false democrat allegations for the purpose of giving lying leftist media buzzards material with which to falsely slander republicans leading up to the 2022 elections. Democrats are evil and are doing great damage to society as they destroy what is good in order to make room for their bad.

Senate Republicans on Friday blocked advancing a House-passed bill that would form a 9/11-style commission to investigate the Jan. 6 Capitol breach.
Senators voted 54-35 on the measure, falling short of the 60-vote threshold to avoid a filibuster.
Republican Sens. Mitt Romney (Utah), Ben Sasse (Neb.), Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), Susan Collins (Maine), Bill Cassidy (La.), and Rob Portman (Ohio) joined all Democrats in voting on the measure. Other than Portman, the six GOP senators all voted to convict former President Donald Trump during his second impeachment trial. Republican Sens. Pat Toomey (Pa.) and Richard Burr (N.C.), who voted to convict Trump during the trial, did not cast votes in favor of the Jan. 6 commission.
The vote came just a day after Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), on the Senate floor, urged his caucus not to support the legislation and suggested it was merely a partisan effort from Democrats.
