House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy has pulled out all six Republicans designated to serve on a key select committee on the economy, three sources tell CNN, a sign of the fallout among House Republicans over being vetoed from the panel investigating the January 6 insurrection.

None of McCarthy’s initial appointments to the select committee on Economic Disparity and Fairness in Growth will be joining that committee’s first meeting this week, a lawmaker familiar with the committee told CNN.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s Deputy Chief of Staff Drew Hammill also confirmed to CNN that McCarthy’s selections to this key economic select committee had pulled out.

What is still unclear at this time is whether these Republicans are boycotting the committee temporarily or leaving it altogether. It also remains to be seen whether there are other select committees Republicans will reject.

1. republicans have zero interest in legislation or working for the good of our country.

We'll get more work done without their nonsensical bs jacking up the process.

[Nevilledog]

3. They should convince 5 or 6 GOP senators to join them and not vote on anything

That'll show us.

2. Good riddance

[Cha]

4. Boo Hoo.. Bitter Zombie magats.

5. "If I can't have my way, I'm going home & taking the ball with me"

[Justice matters.]

8. Except that these losers don't have the ball...

We got it.

[crickets]

9. +1 to both of you. nt

7. He looks like someone that lost everything in that pic.

Vacant look, shoulders sagging. The rag tag crew behind him doesn't look much better. Sad.

[crickets]

10. What's in it for them for doing this?

Other than foolishly (and petulantly) giving away their voices in the committee, what are the ramifications?

[Justice matters.]

11. They're not interested in governing for the people.

So for once, they're showing their true colors.

They're not interested in government functions, except for cashing in their paychecks and their political donations.

tfg MUST PAY. IN JAIL. FOR LIFE.

16. Cheers from RW media for staunchly rejecting "the enemy"

The same sort of daily drama they've been doing since Gingrich.

[SeattleVet]

12. Good...now both of these committees can actually get some work done.

[peppertree]

13. The economy: ANOTHER thing they couldn't care less about

And just as well.

[ZonkerHarris]

14. Don't let the door hit your traitorous asses on the way out.

[SWBTATTReg]

15. Obviously these thugs are not interested in participating in the jobs that voters elected them

for. Not interested in the governing the Country, dealing w/ critical economic issues of the day, in short, short-changing the American taxpayer.

They should be removed for cause, special elections should be held to elect new replacements, etc. I wonder why those that brazenly participated in the events of 1/6/21 are still allowed to be seated in the Congress still to this day? Green and Gaetz are finding out that they are unable to escape their protesters who at every meeting I've seen, held up signs calling them traitors. Every one of these thugs should be called out, dealt w/. Especially when now in the light of day, rump has been shown to be far more involved in the 1/6 events than he's claimed and also when rump is encouraging these senators to refuse to work or participate in the workings of government.

rump should never ever be allowed to run for an elected office again.

17. Where are all the "Republicans in dissaaaarrrrrraaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!" articles?
