House GOP leader Cathy McMorris Rodgers calls for hearings into Eric Garner's death

“We all have a lot of serious questions that need to be addressed and we need to understand what happened, why this decision was made,” McMorris Rodgers said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” “I would call for the House to have those hearings so that we can better understand. But we need to take action, appropriate action, making sure our local law enforcement have the training, that they’re using appropriate force, which—I think we all recognize these are tragedies and it has raised a lot of questions.”

Asked if the House should hold the hearings, McMorris Rodgers said, “Absolutely yes.”
