Freedom Caucus Chairman Presses McCarthy to Change GOP Conference Rules to Kick Cheney, Kinzinger OutAshley Oliver 1 Sep 2021
Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ), chair of the House Freedom Caucus, is pressuring House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) to bring forth a rule change that would allow for the removal of Reps. Liz Cheney (R-WY) and Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) from the House Republican Conference, according to a letter obtained by Breitbart News.
Biggs called Cheney and Kinzinger “two spies for the Democrats” because of them being privy to GOP Conference conversations while simultaneously serving on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) January 6 select committee, according to Biggs’s letter, dated September 1.
The Arizona Republican contended that the pair of Never Trumpers should not be able to listen in on upcoming conference discussions centered around defending against the predominantly Democrat position that the riot at the U.S. Capitol on January 6 amounted to an “insurrection.” Biggs stated he did not trust that the pair would not report back to Pelosi’s committee and hamper Republicans’ ability to defend themselves given Cheney and Kinzinger both have sided with Democrats in their stances on the January 6 chain of events.
“Congresswoman Cheney and Congressman Kinzinger are two spies for the Democrats that we currently invite to the meetings, despite our inability to trust them,” the Biggs stated. “Speaker Pelosi is perpetuating the false narrative that House Republicans are responsible for the events that took place at the Capitol on January 6th.”
