Heritage Action: Congress Should Boycott Pelosi’s January 6 CommissionHannah Bleau 21 Jul 2021
Congress should boycott House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) January 6th commission, Heritage Action’s Executive Director Jessica Anderson said following House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) pulling GOP members off the investigatory committee after Pelosi rejected the inclusion of Reps. Jim Banks (R-IN) and Jim Jordan (R-OH).
“As we have known from the start, this is an unserious and partisan ‘investigation,” Anderson said following the Wednesday news.
Pelosi’s removal of the two key GOP lawmakers “proves that Democrats plan to run this committee as a political cudgel,” she continued.
“Speaker Pelosi and her party are looking for political points, not answers,” she continued, calling on members of Congress to ignore the speaker’s charade:
If Speaker Pelosi actually respected our democracy, she would not only include Republicans but she would also launch a full investigation into the rioters that destroyed American cities last year, murdered brave police officers like David Dorn, and burned down churches and federal buildings alike. Americans deserve better than Speaker Pelosi’s show trials. This fake ‘committee’ is an insult to every American, and no member of Congress should participate.”
On Wednesday, Pelosi explained her decision to reject the Republicans from the committee:
Monday evening, the Minority Leader recommended 5 Members to serve on the Select Committee. I have spoken with him this morning about the objections raised about Representatives Jim Banks and Jim Jordan and the impact their appointments may have on the integrity of the investigation. I also informed him that I was prepared to appoint Representatives Rodney Davis, Kelly Armstrong and Troy Nehls, and requested that he recommend two other Members.
