Scalise, who opposed impeachment, said he called for a commission to investigate the Capitol Hill riot.
“There’s been no investigation into this. They literally did an impeachment without even a hearing in committee. That’s never happened in the history of our country. If they really wanted the facts, if they think the facts are on their side, they would’ve done that,” 그는 말했다.
Scalise, who was shot in 2017 by a politically motivated gunman, wrote in a Fox News op-ed that he “made a conscious decision not to hold anybody but the gunman responsible” and called on his Democratic colleagues to be consistent in their condemnation of violence.

“We call it out when it happens on both sides,” Scalise said Thursday.
“When you see all these Democrats that are only calling it out now, they did not call it out during the summer. 사실로, some of them were encouraging some of the violence we saw over the summer, fanning those flames. You can’t have it both ways,” 그는 결론을 내렸다. “You’ve got to be consistent in calling out violence. None of us should support that.”
Scalise said this is the “순간” for President-elect Joe Biden to call for an end to the impeachment trial in the Senate to “heal” the country.
