Kevin McCarthy under mounting pressure to punish Republicans who join January 6 commission

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

House Republicans are calling on Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy to punish Reps. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., and Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill., for joining the committee investigating the January 6 Capitol riot.

Pelosi, who already added Cheney to the committee earlier this month, announced on Sunday that she would also appoint Kinzinger, one of the few Republicans who voted to impeach former President Donald Trump after the riot, in response to McCarthy pulling all of his choices from the committee when Pelosi blocked two of his picks.

"I'm a Republican dedicated to conservative values, but I swore an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution—and while this is not the position I expected to be in or sought out, when duty calls, I will always answer," Kinzinger said in a statement, criticizing members of his own party for spreading "lies and conspiracy theories."

A growing number of House Republicans, nearly all of whom voted against creating an independent bipartisan commission to investigate the riot, responded by calling on McCarthy to strip Cheney and Kinzinger of their committee assignments.

3. As hostile as they are

to any kind of investigation into 1/6, methinks they must have a lot to hide.

5. Yep. I'm guessing they are terrified.

I just want justice and accountability.
I want people to go to jail for things that normal people would go to jail for. I’m sooooo tired of them getting away with shit.

8. They need to be more afraid of Dick Cheney.

Trump is an empty threat, Dick is the real thing.

Darth Cheney would chew these goofball wannabes up. I think Cheney truly enjoyed being the "bad cop" to Bush's "good cop".

friends, is punishment.
