The insurrectionists attacked this very building we are standing in right now. The violent mob attacked, bear- sprayed, and beat down the police officers who protect us every day. 140 officers were injured, and we need to care about that. Some have died, and they deserved better. Mr. Speaker, accountability and truth are the foundation upon which all of our rights and freedoms exist. We need answers, and this commission will give them to us. We need accountability, and this commission will pave the way for full accountability. We need an independent commission, and a vote against it is a vote for a cover-up. Choose ye this day whom you will serve. Our democracy or the big lie? History will remember us. Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support this legislation.
