More Americans Want 'Black Lives Matter Riots' Investigated Than January 6 Riot

As Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi picks members of a select committee to investigate the riots of January 6, a new poll finds that many Americans believe she's focusing on the wrong riots.

One-third more Americans believe Congress should hold investigative hearings about last summer's "Black Lives Matter protests that sparked violence" than think lawmakers ought to probe the riot at the capitol on January 6.

On the other hand, fewer than half of Americans support Pelosi's investigation of the D.C. riot in which rioters protesting the 2020 presidential election results stormed the capitol.

"Sixty-seven percent of whites, 64% of black voters, 66% of Hispanics and 62% of other minorities think Congress should investigate the 2020 riots in U.S. cities," reported Rasmussen Reports.

Americans were almost evenly divided on whether members of Congress should launch another examination of the Capitol riot, which Pelosi and her fellow Democrats label an "Insurrection": 42% of respondents told pollsters that the event does not merit a national inquest, with 49% in favor.

By contrast, only 21% of Americans said Congress should not investigate the riots surrounding the Black Lives Matter movement.

62% of voters believe politicians who downplayed the riots should be criticized, 11 points higher than those who believe politicians should be called out for minimizing the importance of the D.C. riot;.63% believe looters and rioters who broke the law last summer should be charged and criminally prosecuted;.
