GOP leaders are facing mounting internal pressure to discipline a pair of anti-Trump Republicans taking part in the special investigation into the Capitol attack of Jan. 6.
Conservative lawmakers are up in arms that Reps. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) and Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) - both appointed to the select committee by Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) - have taken on the task with relish, using the panel's first hearing on Tuesday as a televised platform to bash former President Trump for instigating the riot.
Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.), the head of the far-right House Freedumb Caucus, sought during a closed-door meeting Tuesday to exile both Cheney and Kinzinger from the Republican conference. And other members of the group are piling on, maintaining that the defiant pair have forfeited their rights to membership in the GOP, including their seats on committees.
"I think they've left the Republican Party, based on their actions," said Rep. Bob Good, a first-term Virginia Republican and member of the Freedumb Caucus. "I think that they should be removed from their committees as Republicans. And I support an effort that took place this morning in the conference meeting."
