Liz Cheney Claims She is ‘Ranking Member’ of January 6 Committee

Joel B. Pollak 7 Jan 2022

Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) claimed Thursday on Fox News’ Special Report that she is the “ranking member” of the U.S. House Select Committee on the January 6 Attack, in an apparent effort to defend the committee’s subpoenas against legal challenges.

Cheney told Fox News’ Bret Baier that she holds the title of “ranking member,” even though House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) chose Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN) for that role.

Cheney falsely claimed that McCarthy refused to nominate Republicans to the committee. In fact, McCarthy only withdrew his nominations after Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) rejected McCarthy’s nomination of Banks and Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) to serve on the committee.

Pelosi then appointed Cheney and Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL), two opponents of former President Donald Trump, to the  committee, though she did not appoint the five minority members required by the committee’s enabling resolution.
