Liz Cheney is already taking public heat from House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy — and dishing it back — over her Democratic appointment to the select panel investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol attack

.

Cheney was part of Pelosi’s initial wave of names tapped to serve on the panel that will examine the deadly events of Jan. 6, when Trump supporters breached the Capitol in an attempt to disrupt certification of the ex-president's election loss, forcing lawmakers and then-Vice President Mike Pence to flee.

“He can call me whatever names he wants,” Kinzinger said, adding that the bottom line is “I’m a Republican.” But Kinzinger shrugged off the subtle threat on Monday: “If the conference decides” to punish him and Cheney, he said, it “says more about them than it does about us."

Liz will be GONE in 2022 Wyoming has had ENOUGH OF THE BACK STABBER

I wouldn’t call it heat, I would call it Liz playing him the fool

carreramae GOPLeader thinks he’s gonna take the majority by going after his own members ? Hmmm I don’t think so

She has my respect, she is putting America over party and that's how it should be.

A Call to Protect People and Nature! T'h'a'c'k'e'r Pass, Nevada, Thread to Watch/read:

She should run as a democrat. It might be hard at first because we know how democrats feel about women and black conservatives.

At this point, all McCarthy is doing is to make Trump feel like he is being tough and doing everything. But he failed and Trump doesn't like failures. The bus won't even feel going over this hollow man.

McCarthyism is alive in 2021! This time around his first name is KEVIN!

They are not democrats, but they do have integrity, unlike the rest of the republicans these days.

Cheney is in the power position here. Shes going to dump all over McCarthy while he takes pot shots from the peanut gallery

You go Liz! Shove that shit back in Joe…I mean, GOPLeader Kevin McCarthy’s face! Cause he can dish it out, but he sure as shit can’t take it!

I'm sure she revels in the fact that Media will cover this hot dish all day long if she as much as glances his way. I'm not complaining mind you, I like a good Eating Their Own buffet of (R) internecine victuals. Let's toast, schadenfruede McCarthy!

Git em, Cheney! ❤️

P

Anything to take the focus off finding out the truth of what happened and who was involved. We can expect this to be a daily routine distraction attempt 🤷🏼‍♂️ where’s his attacks on Adam Kinzinger

Cheney and Kinzinger should just call these meetings how to further cut taxes for the wealthy and McCarthy and the rest of the GOP will be on board.

Cheney has a brain, and a real life. She'll be fine. Thank God. She is a patriot and a hero.

Kevin is very worried. He will be called as a witness and Cheney should sign the subpoena. That's Karma.

GOPLeader is butt hurt and now can't control his members. GOP congressmen shouldn't get a say until Covid rates in their states go down.

Unlikely partners Pelosi and Cheney team up for Jan. 6 probeWhen Nancy Pelosi raised a glass to Liz Cheney, it was the most unlikely of toasts. Democratic lawmakers and the Republican congresswoman were gathered in the House speaker’s office as the group prepared for the first session of the committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection at the Capitol. Pelosi spoke of the “solemn responsibility” before them and raised her water glass to Cheney, a daughter of the former vice president and the sole Republican in the room. Cheney is very likely ending her political career and certainly will never be picked for another committee again. If that's what you call teaming up 'partnership.' Do you understand 'winning' at all? Why are there no comments about a 500000$ painting painted by the Presidents son and who is not a painter

Pelosi appoints Republican Rep. Kinzinger to Jan. 6 committeeJUST IN: Speaker Pelosi adds a second Republican, Rep. Adam Kinzinger, to committee to investigate Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol. As a lifelong resident of the Illinois 16th Congressional District, this appointment I approve. Former Congressman John B Anderson left the Republican Party when it changed values in 1980. The party changed for the worst in 2016. Thank you RepKinzinger. Congratulations Adam!
