Rep. Adam Kinzinger, who had voted to impeach then-President Trump on charges of inciting insurrection, joins the Jan. 6 committee after Speaker Nancy Pelosi rejected two Republican selections

Mrs. Pelosi last Wednesdayclose to Mr. Trump: Rep. Jim Banks of Indiana, chair of the conservative Republican Study Committee, and Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio, the top Republican on the House Judiciary Committee. The move prompted Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy to pull his other three selections for the committee., calling it a political exercise and pointing to continuing law-enforcement probes as adequate.

“The Speaker has structured this select committee to satisfy her political objectives,” said Mr. McCarthy in a statement following Mr. Kinzinger’s appointment. “She had months to work with Republicans on a reasonable and fair approach to get answers on the events and security failures surrounding January 6. Instead, she has played politics.”

I am amazed that some Moderates saying they would vote for Liz as President because of her grit and honesty, while disregarding her conservative views. Imagine our 1ST woman President being from GOD FORSAKEN Wyoming rather than a blueblood. WY, a state with only 2 escalators....

Selectively picking all anti Trumpers is called stacking the deck 🤷‍♂️

RepJimBanks listening to Fox Sunday interview w/ Banks...quacking disingenuous take that 'it's all Pelosi's fault and the big problem wasn't terrorist insurrectionists violently attacking the Capital at the behest of TFG, it was police being unprepared.' Breath-taking duplicity

Now what they both need to do is change their party to independent.

While I may not agree with him politically, I admire his courage. Country over party. RepKinzinger thank you.

Is his nickname Judas?

Republicans had plenty of opportunities for a bipartisan commission if they really wanted one. Now Democrats will control the select committee with subpoena power. Can't wait to watch the hearings, I guarantee lots of Americans will be watching as well.

Way to go Adam!

Will the Sept 2018 insurrection be investigated?

He’s a true patriot. Conservatives have made a mess of the word “patriot”. Adam Kinzinger is a pro-democracy and pro-America Republican.

Illinois Rep that hopes to be re-elected. He will say anything to solidify that hope. Truth not a virtue.

How can anyone view the 1.6.21 insurrection as anything but a direct attack - foreign or domestic- on our democracy? It just goes to show you that GOP’s reflex on anything is to cover up. You can't recoup from coup unless you address the Seditionist in Chief, Donald J. Trump.

He is a RINO.

good luck

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!
