Suffolk County Republicans want a commission to investigate the violent insurrection at the U.S. Capitol that killed five people, including a Capitol Police officer.
Jesse Garcia, chairman of Suffolk GOP, voted for Trump in 2020. He said he agrees with the former NYPD Commissioner William Bratton’s idea to form an investigation similar to the panel that probed the September 11th terror attacks.
Garcia said the country needs to get past conspiracy theories of what happened, and get some answers.
“We get to the facts, because in that commission for 9/11, not only did they identify flaws and failures within the system, they offered up solutions,” Garcia said, referring to the creation of the Department of Homeland Security.
