GOP Rep. Katko asks colleagues to put politics aside and vote for Jan. 6 commission

Speaking on the House floor, Rep. John Katko, R-N.Y., appealed to his colleagues to set aside politics and vote in favor of legislation that would create a commission to investigate the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. Katko, who helped craft the bill, cited the names of Capitol police officers who were killed and injured in the attack, and wanted them and their families to know that in voting for the legislation “we are doing it for them.”
