This isn’t shocking. We all knew that Reps. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) and Liz Cheney (R-WY) would probably be the top picks to sit on this January 6 clown committee that’s about to start. They’re the two of the most vocal anti-Trump Republicans on the Hill. They would rather get their media hits on CNN or MSNBC than work to win elections for the GOP. They have no qualms about stabbing the GOP base in the back repeatedly. They think they’re principled. They’re not. They’re morons who are unaware that their participation gives Democrats the talking point that this is bipartisan. Now, we all know it’s not.

As the DoJ continues to ensure the rioters see justice, the House is quite divided over how to react. After the GOP refused to support a special independent commission, Speaker Nancy Pelosi s select committee was the only way forward for the House to investigate the insurrection. However, it appears as if that too is doomed to fail since McCarthy isn t getting his way, and refusing to play ball.

Will the investigation be canceled?
The select committee would allow McCarthy to nominate five GOP members, alongside the eight nominated by Pelosi. The speaker rejected two of McCarthy s picks â Jim Jordan and Jim Banks â fearing they would jeopardize the integrity of the investigation . That appears to have angered McCarthy, who said either the two would be seated, or no one would. With the vote now out of the way, the committee is now down to just
