Kevin McCarthy comes out against bipartisan Jan. 6 commission

[Pericles]

~17% of Republicans voting for it means that it's still DOA in the Senate unless & until they go nuclear.

Can't the House just do their own investigation without Senate approval? The Republicans did that for Benghazi.

Yes they can, and I expect that they will do just that if the Senate fails to approve the commission.

So Republicans just shot themselves in the foot politically and got a worse outcome for themselves too, lol.

It seems like the Republicans defying McCarthy are disproportionately in swing seats so they're using this vote to look bipartisan. I heard that election objectors in swing seats in particular wanted to use this to get political cover, so how many Yes voters also objected to the election result?
