Where Things Stand: GOPer Tries To Cosplay As Jan 6 Committee Member
....According to Cheney, Banks apparently has sent letters to various government agencies, claiming to be a ranking member of the Jan. 6 committee. He is most definitely not even a member of the committee, let alone a ranking one. He even reportedly admitted as much in his letters.
I would like to introduce for the record a number of letters the gentlemen from Indiana has been sending to federal agencies, dated September 16, 2021, for example, signing his name as the ranking member of the committee [that] hes just informed the House that hes not on, Cheney said during her House floor remarks today.

(24,228 posts)Under his signature it says Ranking Member. It does not say which committee. He is a ranking member of a House Armed Services sub-committee. Sneaky and misleading, sure. But he never says he is the ranking member of the Jan. 6th committee.
