Why Pelosi Won't Tolerate Dissent on Her 'Insurrection' Committee | Opinion ➡️ To engage in the debates that matter most to you follow: NewsweekOpinion
It is conventional practice for the majority to give deference to the minority to name its own members, as they will have no influence over the committee's ultimate decisions apart from the right to contradict the majority's claims and raise inconvenient questions. By trashing this convention, Pelosi left McCarthy and the GOP no choice but to refuse to take any part in the committee.
Jordan and Banks would have done their best to derail the committee's focus on the former president. They would have resisted efforts to treat the riot as a seditious conspiracy rather than the disorganized yet violent aftermath of a"Stop the Steal" rally in which a few hundred rally attendees subsequently stormed the Capitol.' joint session accepting the Electoral College results was a shameful challenge to the rule of law.
Had Pelosi accepted the presence of Republicans like Jordan and Banks on her committee, it would have allowed GOP members a chance to raise questions about elements of Jan. 6 that don't fit the insurrection narrative.
