Why Is Rep. Michelle Steel Trying to Hide the Truth About the January 6th Insurrection?

Once again, Steel has voted against uncovering the truth about January’s fatal attack on the Capitol

After shamefully voting against an independent commission to investigate the deadly attack on the U.S. Capitol, Rep. Michelle Steel has once again voted to stop a bipartisan commission from uncovering the truth about how the violent attack on our democracy happened.

With this vote, Steel is cowering to extremists and turning her back on our democracy in an attempt to cover up the truth.

What is she so determined to hide?

“Instead of working to find out how a violent mob broke into the U.S. Capitol and put the lives of members, staff, Capitol Police, and the Vice President in grave danger, Michelle Steel is working to make sure the truth never sees the light of day,” said DCCC Spokesperson Adrian Eng-Gastelum. “Steel and her caucus has clearly found common cause with extremists and insurrectionists, and the people of California’s 48th district deserve better than this dangerous hyper-partisan effort to block the truth.”
