(CNN)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. So... if they aren't going to work, do we still have to pay them?

What a bunch of freeloading magats

[dchill]

20. This is very pertinent!

[PortTack]

2. They obviously see some political gain, or should I say some frump directed pleasing

Kevi doesn’t make a move without der leader.

This is the same thing that happened when the orange mass was squatting. Pull out everyone, every support, trip up every normalcy, centralize their so called power, decimate any ability for the government to work as it should

[ananda]

6. Hmm... some TFGrump directing them?

???

[bucolic_frolic]

3. Dereliction of duty, undermining Congress

McCarthy is escalating this.

[MiniMe]

4. Rump told Mitch McConnell yesterday to not do any6 bipartisan committees

Until after the next election. So he is telling the Repukes to totally stop the Government from working.

[PortTack]

5. Yup..and turtle and kevi are fine with it

[PatSeg]

11. "....to stop the government from working"?

Well, some things don't change do they? All republicans want to do is raise campaign cash, run for office, give press conferences, confirm conservative judges, and then run for office again. That is pretty much their job description. They don't have to really know anything about government, because they don't govern anyway.

7. He reminds me of this little girl...

[rickyhall]

13. Nellie Oleson?

[NurseJackie]

14. That's "Rhoda" from the movie "The Bad Seed"

... but that hair definitely remind me of Nellie too.

[NurseJackie]

8. AND... he reminds me of this little girl, too!

[The Magistrate]

9. Better Off Without Them, Sir

It has long been clear Republicans have no interest in governing. Now they are making it obvious to even the dullest denizen of the Village....

[Walleye]

10. Still think we can work with them, senators Manchin and Sinema?

[George II]

15. Manchin and Sinema aren't in the House. President Biden thinks he can work with republicans too.

[Walleye]

16. I know they're not in the House,but they're certainly aware of it. And Biden isn't blocking anything

12. Big babies

The people who sent you to DC want you to do your fucking job.

[rickford66]

17. Pelosi should tell them they forgot their ball.

[everyonematters]

18. committee on Economic Disparity and Fairness in Growth

The Republicans have never been big on economic fairness, like if you are poor it's always your own fault. They agree to raise the minimum wage, only after it becomes ridiculously low thru inflation, and then not very much. The essence of a market economy is competition, but that means someone has to be at the bottom. That shouldn't mean they have to starve or neglect their kids because they are working all the time.

[ancianita]

19. They show themselves for the Fifth Column placeholders they really are.

Again, they're not there to do a job, just to be a mouthpiece for dark money, to shut down and take down democratic processes and democracy.

As TLP say and Dylan say, they gotta serve somebody -- the 28 funders of trumpcult.

[caraher]

21. Trump reminds me more of this boy

with the Republicans stuck living in his town

[oldsoftie]

22. They dont even know how bad they're screwing themselves

Such idiots

[bahboo]

23. whatever dude...fuck you....

[monkeyman1]

24. TFG is running the GQP like ran his casinos -bankruptcy!! but , keep money coming !!!

[turbinetree]

25. Fine then resign.....we have a majority then we should use it.....

end of story....

[ZonkerHarris]

26. If all of them want to leave Washington DC for the rest of the year that would be a good thing.

Just leave Cheney and Kinzinger to work with us and shit will get done!
