Chinanews.com, July 28. According to a report by the American Chinese website, the Special Committee of the House of Representatives of the United States Congress officially launched an investigation into the congressional riots on January 6 this year, local time.

At the first hearing, the only two Republicans on the committee-Congressman Cheney of Wyoming and Congressman Kinsinger of Illinois both gave emotional speeches, calling for an in-depth investigation of the incident.

On January 6, local time, the joint meeting of the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives to confirm the results of the Electoral College vote was interrupted due to large-scale riots caused by the intrusion of supporters of then President Trump into the Capitol.

　　In his opening speech, Cheney challenged his party, saying that if Congress does not pursue it to the end, the riot will continue to become "the cancer of our Constitutional Republic."

　　In his serious opening remarks, Cheney encouraged her colleagues to support a full investigation of the "worst Congress assault in centuries."

She asked: "Will we be blinded by partisan prejudice and abandon the miracle that the United States has done? Does our hatred of political opponents exceed our love for the country and awe of the Constitution?

　　According to reports, Cheney is one of the few Republicans willing to publicly criticize former President Trump.

Due to her repeated challenges to Trump's allegations of election fraud and his role in the January 6th Capitol attack, Cheney was stripped of his position in the leadership of the Republican Party in May.

Cheney’s choice to join the Congressional Disturbance Special Committee has also been strongly criticized by the Republican leadership.

　　Cheney's speech on the 27th focused on Trump's role. She urged lawmakers to find out "what happened in the White House every minute of that day."

　　Cheney said this includes "every phone call, every conversation, and every meeting before, during and after the attack."

　　Another Republican who joined the special committee, King Singer, is an Air Force veteran who served as a lieutenant colonel in the Air National Guard. He also strongly criticizes Trump.

When he delivered a speech on the 27th, Kinsinger became obviously emotional.

He restrained his tears and angrily condemned conservative "anti-narrative" and conspiracy theories, which were designed to weaken the severity of the January 6 attack.

　　Kinsinger pointed out: "Many people in my party see this as another partisan dispute. This view is harmful and hurts the police officers and their families."

　　Last week, after House Speaker Pelosi rejected two Republican candidates selected by the House of Representatives Minority Leader McCarthy as members of the special committee, McCarthy withdrew all five nominations in response.

McCarthy also criticized King Singer and Cheney's decision to serve as members of the committee, calling them "Pelosi Republicans."

　　However, Kinsinger pointed out in his speech: "I came here to investigate the January 6th incident, not beyond the party, but because my party chose to do so. This is not to win a political struggle, but to understand Facts, defend our democracy."

　　Kinsinger emphasized: "I am a Republican. I am a conservative. But to recover from the damage caused that day, we need to tell the truth."

　　On January 6 this year, while the Congress was counting the electoral votes for the presidential election, supporters of former U.S. President Trump violently stormed Congress, killing at least five people.

Since then, the House of Representatives impeached Trump on charges of sedition, but the Senate acquitted Trump.

On June 30, the House of Representatives voted to establish a special committee to investigate the January 6th Capitol riots.
