Former Gov. calls for an independent commission to investigate why so many people from Florida [View all]
attended the Capitol riotRep. Charlie Crist has called on Florida Gov. Ron De Santis to launch an independent commission into the state's ties to the Capitol insurrection, local media reported.
Crist, who served as Florida's governor from 2007 to 2011, told reporters on Friday he's concerned by the number of Floridians who were arrested in relation to the January 6 attack, which resulted in the deaths of five people.
"I'm calling on Gov. Ron DeSantis to protect our democracy by ordering a non-partisan investigation of Florida's outsized role in the Capitol Insurrection," Crist tweeted. "Hate and insurrection can have no home here. DeSantis must act to keep us safe."
He also told reporters on Friday the investigation would be essential in "protecting our communities from extremists," according to Tampa Bay Times.
