Meet the members of the House's January 6 select committee

WASHINGTON – The House select committee created to investigate the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol is scheduled to have its first hearing Tuesday despite House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., pulling Republicans from participating in the committee.

McCarthy’s actions came after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., rejected Republican Reps. Gym Jordan of Ohio and Jim Banks of Indiana, two of his five appointees to the committee, from sitting on the panel, citing that they would undermine the integrity of the committee.

Although Pelosi said she’d accept McCarthy’s other three appointees – Reps. Rodney Davis of Illinois, Kelly Armstrong of North Dakota and Troy Nehls of Texas – McCarthy went forward and yanked his picks and threatened to create Republicans' own investigation.

“Unless Speaker Pelosi reverses course and seats all five Republican nominees, Republicans will not be party to their sham process and will instead pursue our own investigation of the facts,” McCarthy said.

McCarthy you spineless Trump fluffer everybody saw the insurrection on TV. Your childish whining is not going to change anything.
