Two-thirds of voters want Congress to investigate the 2020 riots

Now that House Democrats have choreographed a select "bipartisan" committee to investigate the Jan 6. riot on Capitol Hill, most voters believe that Congress should also investigate the violent Black Lives Matter riots that terrorized major Democrat-led cities throughout 2020, according to a new survey. 

A recent national telephone and online survey by the National Police Association and Rasmussen Reports conducted in mid-July finds that 66 percent of likely American voters think Congress should investigate last year's violent riots when more than 2,000 police officers suffered injuries in the line of duty—compared to 21 percent of respondents who don't think Congress should investigate last year's protests and 13 percent of voters who were not sure.
