GOP Leader McCarthy on Pelosi’s ‘Sham’ January 6 Committee: ‘We Will Run Our Own Investigation’
Ashley Oliver 21 Jul 2021
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) vowed Wednesday to investigate questions surrounding the January 6 Capitol riot independently of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) “sham” select committee after the speaker vetoed two of McCarthy’s committee appointees.
McCarthy said there are “two main questions” he will seek to answer as he spoke at a press conference alongside Reps. Jim Jordan (R-OH) and Jim Banks — the two congressmen Pelosi rejected — and his other three appointees, Reps. Kelly Armstrong (R-ND), Troy Nehls (R-TX), and Rodney Davis (R-IL).
“Why was the Capitol so ill-prepared for that day when they knew on December 14 they had a problem, and what have we done to make sure that never happens again?” McCarthy asked.
The GOP leader was fuming as he called Pelosi’s committee installment a “sham process” and said he refuses to participate unless Pelosi reverses her decision and allows all five of McCarthy’s appointees to serve on the committee.
Pelosi said Wednesday that some of her members opposed Jordan and Banks, the two standout conservative stalwarts of McCarthy’s five choices.
“With respect for the integrity of the investigation, with an insistence on the truth and with concern about statements made and actions taken by these Members, I must reject the recommendations of Representatives Banks and Jordan to the Select Committee,” she said in a statement. “The unprecedented nature of January 6th demands this unprecedented decision.”

They may unlock what actually happened, but it will be the word of the GOP against the DEMS. Nothing gained, nor accomplished?? Does anyone see it any differently?

Not sure if they have subpoena power being in the minority...if they do they could possibly get answers.

Sure there is - the FBI's role as well as the Capitol Hill Police's related interactions with the Speakers office.

@libertybele
The left has never let the truth get in the way of their goals of conquest,and will even twist the truth into a lie in order to fire up their clueless supporters.
Besides,with Biden and Dims,the truth is "Just a thing,you know,man......"
