Online Public Relations Thoughts

Republicans in the House and Senate are trying to avoid a Jan.6 commission to look into the insurrection that invaded the capitol building.  They fear what it will find and they are wary that Democrats will use it against them.  Instead, they want to move on and concentrate on the 2022 midterms.  Democrats are having none of that.  They want a full and nonpartisan investigation because they are sure of what will be found -- complicity with former president Trump and some House members who provoked the invasion.  Indeed, some Republican House members are already trying to rewrite history, calling it a normal tourist reaction.  Whether or not the commission comes into being, Democrats won't let the party live down the day.  They will tar Republicans' reputation for years to come, or at least until Trump no longer has a hold on the party.  Republicans have good reason to fear for their future.
