Speaker Nancy Pelosi is considering adding another anti-Trump House Republican to the select committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol attack, with Rep. Adam Kinzinger as a leading contender.
not even bipartisan; it’s nonpartisan. It’s about seeking the truth and that’s what we owe the American people.” "Denver is somebody who's got years of experience, especially in all the areas connected to cyber issues," she said. "And I think [he] just would be a tremendous addition to the work of the committee in terms of understanding, recognizing the extent to which social media platforms were used, the communications that went on in the lead up to the 6th."
"I'm open to anyone of any political viewpoint who does not want to obstruct the work of the committee," Rep. Jamie Raskin said. "I’m sure Kinzinger would not want to obstruct the work of the committee.” The effort to potentially beef up Republican representation on the select panel comes after House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy pulled all five of his choices on Wednesday following Pelosi's veto of the two most controversial names on his list, Reps. Jim Banks and Jim Jordan .
rachaelmbade It’s not “anti-Trump”. It’s pro-democratic process
rachaelmbade *Anti-insurrection Republican *Anti-vote to overturn the election Republican *Anti anti-democracy Republican Sheesh.
She already pissed in her cheerios. The illusion of fair and balanced research is gone forever.
Yes, if Kinzinger is willing, yes. The committee needs him and others like him for diversity/legitimacy. Pelosi should appoint him to the committee
rachaelmbade Wow with the framing
So...this isn't really an honest committee investigation of what occurred but is an attempt to complete the destruction of Trump. I understand going after Trump but never will understand the total hatred surpassing what should be an honest inquiry.
SpeakerPelosi should have appointed RepKinzinger when she appointed RepLizCheney!! Speaker Pelosi rectify the oversight -- TODAY!! Since GOPLeader will undoubtably be called to testify, ethically he should recuse himself from appointing any Committee members at all!!
Trying to figure out who is Politico? Seems to not be very newsy; more agenda driven. Also their cookie approach is annoying.
'anti-trump' how about labeling them 'sane, pro democracy' republicans.

Pelosi rejects Republican Jim Jordan for Jan. 6 committee, McCarthy threatens to pull all his nomineesNEW: House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy threatens to pull all his Republican nominees from the committee unless all his selections are seated. Thank you Madam Speaker for not allowing the select committee to be turned into a 3 ring circus. The GQP had the option in the Senate to form a bipartisan committee but their response was “nothing to see here, let’s move on.” Benghazi? 09/11? Oh but never mind an insurrection. 😤 Nope

Jan. 6 commission collapses after Nancy Pelosi vetoes GOP selections Jim Jordan, Jim Banks'I agree with what the speaker has done.' Rep. Cheney addresses media after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi rejects Reps. Jim Banks and Jim Jordan for the select committee investigating the Jan. 6 assault on the U.S. Capitol. LynnFors I still disagree with about 90% of what Liz Cheney believes in. But that 10% where she remembers country over party is magnificent. 😂 It's like picking your own mother as a judge and jury. Pelosi is involved which makes the whole thing a shitshow. Is it a secret what outcome Pelosi wants?😂 It's a charade!

Pelosi Rejects Two GOP Picks for Jan. 6 Capitol Riot PanelSpeaker Nancy Pelosi rejected two of five Republicans, Reps. Jim Jordan and Jim Banks, from serving on the panel investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol riot JayEmme00 Thank you Madam Speaker! SpeakerPelosi NoCarnivalBarkingClowns These two are likely heavily involved in what already is being investigated. These two do not speak the truth and only try to create confusion and create false narrative for their ignorant base. Committee would do good work without these two. Kudos to Pelosi for good judgement. Pelosi doesn’t say no to everything
