As far as Kevin McCarthy is concerned, Adam Kinzinger and Liz Cheney are "Pelosi Republicans." It serves as a reminder of the GOP's post-policy problem.July 26, 2021, 5:08 PM UTCHouse Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy attended a White House event this morning honoring the anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act, but while he was there, the Republican chatted with reporters about his ongoing frustrations with Reps.
McCarthy was non-committal on whether he'll follow through on his threats to punish his own members, and he couldn't even recall the last time he'd spoken with Cheney or Kinzinger. Toward the end of his brief Q&A, the GOP leader"Never in the history of America has a Speaker picked the other side, so they can predetermine what comes out."
McCarthy was referring, of course, to the special select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, though it's worth emphasizing that his description of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's work isn't quite right. First, Pelosi offered Republicans an independent commission with an equal number of members from both parties. McCarthy refused. Second, Pelosi invited McCarthy to choose five House GOP members for the special select committee." choices who were clearly uninterested in taking the process seriously. Pelosi rejected two of the five selections -- prompting McCarthy to boycott the investigation altogether -- but she selected two Republicans to serve on the panel, bolstering its bipartisanship.
If Pelosi were only interested in"predetermining" the investigation's outcome, she would've stacked the committee with far-left firebrands, not two Republicans -- including one who, up until recently, served as a member of the House GOP leadership.
