We will show you the shocking and disturbing video of a black man killed in an encounter with police. Thanks for joining us. Well, after months of difficult negotiations the u. S. House of representatives has approved the creation of an independent bipartisan commission into the attack on the capitol last january. On this vote the yays are 252 and the nays are 175. The bill is passed without objection a motion to reconsider is laid upon the table. 35 republicans broke ranks with their party s leadership in the final vote. That could be significant as the measure now heads to a showdown in the u. S. Senate. Both republican and democratic lawmakers hammered out the deal last week four months after thousands of trump supporters stormed the capitol, but once the plan was unveiled senate minority leader mitch mcconnell had this to say. After careful consideration, i ve made the decision to oppose the house democrats slanted and unbalanced proposal for another commission to study the events
Be devalued because of that or because of the race of her particular neighborhood when we ve seen the neighborhoods all around her gentrify. Reminded me of something former president obama used to say. It turns out i ve been black my whole life. So he knows what things are like. And i can t put myself in your shoes, but when you got that third appraisal back, you know, double what the earlier ones were and the difference in your mind is that it was a white guy in the house at the time with no pictures of a black family inside. I wonder how that felt to you. It felt dehumanizing. It felt demoralizing. It felt i mean, at first i felt vindicated in all actuality, and it just allowed me to see that i knew i was right, but then you think about the fact that i had to remove myself from my home in order for my home to have value. And it just that s the part that really hurts. And that s the part that is difficult to get over. And each time i think about it, it takes me right back to that poin

Many of the papers are looking ahead to the g7, including the ft, which says president biden will put pressure on borisjohnson to end the stalemate between the uk and eu over northern ireland trade.

Thanks for staying with us. I m victor blackwell. I m alisyn camerota. Truth or trump, that s the choice facing house republicans as we speak. They are getting ready to vote on a bipartisan deal to create an independent commission to investigate what exactly happened leading up to january 6th and then during the deadly insurrection and why it took so long for backup help to arrive. The top republican in the house, kevin mccarthy, does not want a commission to look into that. Neither does senator mitch mcconnell. Mcconnell opposes the bill now after directly blaming former president trump for stoking the riots. This was just a few months ago. It s not at all clear what new facts or additional investigation yet another commission could actually lay on top of existing efforts by law enforcement and congress. What is clear is that house democrats have handled this proposal in partisan bad faith. I ve been an outspoken critic about all of the episodes of political violence that our nation h
